Din Tai Fung Dumpling house
Juicy Pork Dumplings
Vegetable Dumplings
Fried Pork Chop on RiceWe also got the Crab and Pork Dumplings but they look the same as the regular pork ones so I didn't take a picture. In total the two of us ate 30 Dumplings. This is my new favorite restaurant. They have futuristic blow dryers in the bathroom that are waist high and you dip your hands inside then it dries them from both sides. All the ladies that work there have those Star Trek things in their ears to communicate with each other. It's one of the most efficient restaurants I've ever been to.

Things I have eaten lately.
Crawfish Salad at Ikea!
Thai Boat noodlez at Sapp Coffee Shop. Beef balls, beef tripe, beef tendon, beef liver, beef and blood broth. Oh and there was beef in it. And fried pork skins. And the broth is made from blood.
Spicy Papaya Salad at Yai Thai restaurant. This was so hot I could hardly eat my roasted duck noodlez.

In modesto this is a small popcorn. I don't think this photo really lets you see how FUCKING huge a small popcorn is there. Modesto people are fat. And after eating the whole thing so was I. I finally crossed the line and became fat. All because of this popcorn.

Iesha--The Girl I NEVER Had!
I went to one of those websites where they say what your name means. I looked up the name Iesha; I didn't find out what it means, but I was able to find this graph:
It depicts the popularity of the name Iesha over the past few decades. I suppose Another Bad Creation had something to do with the surge around 1990.
The website has a comment section--or something--which allows people to post short messages about what their name means to them, or whatever else is on their minds. Here are the things people named Iesha felt important enough to pass along to the world:
Comment left Dec 10, 2007: "hey as you know my name is IESHA it hurt to see all you other people have my name but it fits me best and i love it whats kind of weird is i got my name from ANOTHER BAD CREATION and it was called IESHA so thats how i got my name and thats my theme song"
Comment left Dec 04, 2007: "aye wat up im iesha kick it in skool bored and chillen and found this name website its basically g. i love the name is random and rare. its for g's be reppen that." [Aye, wat up, matey!]
Comment left Dec 04, 2007: "HI MI NAME IS IESHA AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE MII MOTHER GOT IT FROM...ALL I KNO IS THAT MII MOTHER WAZ PROUD THE DAY SHE NAMED ME BECAUSE IM YHT YOUNGEST GIRL IN MI FAMILY" [Unless she named you long after you were born, it seems impossible for you to be anything other than the youngest child in your family at the time--which hardly seems an achievement, much less an achievement warranting any sense of pride.]
Comment left Dec 01, 2007: "My name is Iesha and i love my name some people call me Esha or just E. I've gotting different reponses to my name, iv'e had people from Africa tell me it's an African name and ask if i was from there. Alot of white people i came across never heard it and could'nt pronouce it,but i love to explain to people where my mom got it from. She loved Stevey Wonder and thats his daughter name!" [I feel you. My name is Daniel, but people often just call me A.]

Rendez Vous
Posted By: John R.
Rendezvous is a is a short film made in 1976 by Claude Lelouch, showing an eight-minute drive through Paris at 5:30 AM. He mounted a camera on a Ferrari and had the driver go on a set path throughout the city driving as fast as possible without stopping for any lights or other traffic. The things I've read said he went over 3000 Kilometers per hour or something like that. He almost hits loads of other cars and some pedestrians.
In real life I could care less about cars and never have. As long as I have a cup holder and my car can get me to work and back that's all I care about. But I love car chases in movies and this beats those because it's real. This also makes all those Fast & Furious street racing dudes here look like total pussies.

Beowolf in 3D
Posted by John R.
So my family was discussing what movies to see this Thanksgiving and my dad replied with this:
"I want to see Beowulf in 3D with a huge coke and a giant bag of popcorn and when the first halfway scary 3D thing happens (or maybe even before that) I want to scream and throw the popcorn and coke up in the air, and all over the other patrons. Then I'll stand up and make a long apology and explain how it loooked like something was coming right at me and I didn't expect it. Then I'll leave and come back with another big coke and giant popcorn and spend some time looking around for seats right next to other people. The Dad"
If anyone wonders why I act the way I do I'm just going to forward them this email.

Slang Editorial
Posted By: Daniel
I am a married man. It all happened about a year-and-a-half ago, I met Bittën (my wife) and we, you know, fell in love. That’s how it worked. She lived in New York then, so I went to visit her there a lot and stayed in her apartment. We sometimes watched TV. At the time, the hottest shit on BET was the TI joint in which he repeated asks what “[I] know about that”. We both loved it. We pledged at her dinner table to never lose touch with hip hop. I don’t think we have. I hope not, at least.
The new shit is good, but the old is special I can't really describe. Remember certain raps that were special to you in some way? Remember seeing their videos for the first time? My main man Patrick tells an awesome, impassioned story about seeing the first Cash Money video; he claims it actually SCARED him—the poor production values, Baby’s menacing, dead-eyed sneers… I didn’t see that jonk until much later and it didn’t do anything for me. I remember Cappadonna’s “Slang Editorial”, though. Shit was weird. What the fuck was he talking about?
Have you ever actually heard “Slang Editorial”? Do you know Cappadonna at all? (A “no” is hardly something to be ashamed of--he’s not exactly William Shakespeare.) I remember nothing of the video’s content, just that it had one of those inexplicable cutaway scenes and that the song was dope. Luckily, somebody gave me a copy for some reason. Buying it seemed kind of silly. I listened to it fairly recently, though, and it makes even LESS sense than I remember, which was none at all. Here are some lyrics, courtesy of LyricMonster.com, or Lyricdevil.com or something*. Can YOU parse them?
I came to the fork in the road and went straight
Right out the crack vile to the golden gate
I like that the person who wrote this felt that “vile”, rather that its homophone, was the appropriate transcription. Unless Cappadonna poorly translated himself from a Romance language AND was trying to diss crack AND claims to have come from crack, somehow, I think the “crack vial” is a better choice. But then again, it hardly makes any more sense that way.
See the silver spoon in my mouth it had cake
My rap birth date debut song was ice bait
Hmm? The spoon had cake? “Ice bait”?
Readit like a novel, donna cappa gone
Strivin my duns be dollars and coins
Someone’s DUNNING him? Really? They send guys around to collect on goose down Polo jackets and “light bills”? Perhaps this is poorly transcipted.
Side track you get japped with my lyric impact
Snap outta that, cappadonna seven sauna
Thirty three pirranha, chaos like iguana
Projects is rated x I flex and terminate
Sex mcs is wet so Im the right source to vex
Look out, pal. You don’t want to get “japped”! And if the piranhas don’t get you, the iguanas might (I had a pet iguana. They really can get nasty.) Also, is he saying he’ll “sex” other rappers? Men, too? Cappadona is harder to follow than the plot to the new Neil Stephenson novels. But what other MC’ll threaten to “vex” you?
Dart specialist, new cappadonna get treacherous
I rock track like a neckalace
He’s a dart (!) specialist? I imagine that skill complements his treachery well. Also, on the record he clearly enunciates “neck-a-lace”. That's not misspelt.
Protect my soul when the devil tried to get it
Seen my goal and stuck with it
Ever since a kid, early in a bid
Doin things you never did
All up in a staircase a scareface was lookin
This is my favorite shit in the song. Everything about it: the devil, “Scareface”… Solid gold, Cappadonna.
Wallet got tooken
Please, please, please… If you EVER have the opportunity to use “tooken” in a sentence, do it. Please, for me. Get you picture tooken, anything.
My slang is editorial explicit material
Breifcase yo, live in stereo flow
Feel me, donna realty
Set the black people free
Set the black people free
You have to hand it to Cappadonna. Nothing--whatsoever--he said makes any sense. I don’t even know what to do when confronted by it. I feel like my grandmother watching a Fat Boys video and saying “you know, some of these rap guys are really creative”. Which is true, I suppose. But what’s with this guy? GHOSTFACE is more lucid. He’s, like, the James Joyce of the Wu Tang Clan. Seriously, listen to SE and tell me what it means. Tell me!
*Tellingly, the site where I found this drivel also had the lyrics to “Evil Dildo” by, uh, Placebo. You tell me.
