Procrastination is the fuel for blog posting. I decided to stay up to reset my sleep schedule and to get some work done but I’m too tired to concentrate at this point.. Writing gibberish in a blog is infinitely less destructive than doing so in my paper!
So parkour.. I was dragged along to a class by a friend, and surprisingly, it was ok and kind of fun. You never know how high you can jump until you actually try it, I guess.
The problem is, it takes so much energy to do anything in that class that I’ve only gone to two classes so far… Mostly because I usually don’t feel up to expending that much energy. I think yoga’s still more my speed.
If you don’t know what parkour is, youtube will explain it far better than I can.
[insert youtube video later.. For the impatient, here's a link:
I went to Triple Rock Brewery for the first time last Saturday after partaking in a free beginner’s class for parkour (more on that in another entry). It’s a nice place, with a terrace upstairs where we sat with a bunch of other guys from the class.
We shared that plate three ways.. It was a decent amount of food, surprisingly! The ’sandwich’ ended up being more like two huge bruschettas (probably cuz we asked them to cut it three ways), so it was pretty messy (but good).
Did anyone else see/hear lightning/thunder (at around 3am)? At first I heard some rain that I thought might be sprinklers. Then I swear I heard thunder.. Turned the lights off and sure enough saw a flash of light before another roaring boom…!
The weather is certainly not boring this week..
(Yes I’m up late.. this is fairly normal for me lately.)
I’m sure everyone knows about this already but in case you’re like me and don’t pay attention… here’s the latest from the official website.
I assumed it would be closed only for 3 days because it was supposed to be “over labor day weekend”, but it’s actually going to be closed from Thursday, Sept 3 to Tuesday, Sept 8, almost 5 days.
Judging from last time, I’d assume that to be an overestimate and for them to be done before the 8th.
(Ironically, I can’t remember what “last time” is, but I remember them finishing way earlier than the estimate)
1. went to Roy’s for lunch to try the annual dine about town in SF,
2. worked in a cafe that had really bad ergonomics (chair was too high for the table) so now my back hurts from hunching over to use my laptop (for 4 hours),
3. watched up (brought the 3d glasses home :p), and
4. met up with a really old friend (elementary school)! [who told me about putting the glasses together to see the polarization so now I want to do that too] stupid ochem – the first thing I thought of about the glasses was the D & L configurations so I didn’t even think about putting them together!
As an addendum to my last post, I’m including some pictures I took for the 228 memorial park in Chiayi. I have pictures of the one in Taipei as well, but I know there are plenty of those out there! =)
I liked the park, even though it felt pretty run-down. First thing was the museum:
With it’s nifty sign (it’s directly across from the entrance shown in the first photo).
February 28, 1947 was the catalyst for uprisings against the corrupt Chinese government in Taiwan. Uprisings which were later suppressed brutally and which began decades of martial law and the period known as the “White Terror”.
I’ve been eating Lunchables lately when I either don’t feel like cooking or I’m too hungry to wait till I finish making something. I bought a bunch on sale at Safeway for $1 each… that hasn’t happened in years!
Long story short, I went online to look for info and came across the yelp page. Who knew they had a page devoted to Lunchables?! I sure didn’t.
The reviews made me sad because it seems most of the negative comments were written by people who’ve never had them. And what kind of review is “no”?
