tien mao's little read book...a place for my random thoughts and happenings in my life.Monty the Kickball Cat- July 22, 2008 This past Sunday at kickball, there was a team that had a cat at the field! Awesome! His name was Monty, he wasn't on a leash and he had a cute little blue bandanna on his back. He was quite the well behaved cat despite the fact that he gravitated to David, who is allergic to cats. I did hear that Monty held his own against some curious dogs though.http://www.tienmao.com/archives/002820.html Not Exactly the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest- July 21, 2008 There's nothing like cramming copious amounts of food down your throat on a hot and humid day. The challenge: first to 6 hot dogs (max of 10 minutes) and no reversal of fortune. That's what went down Saturday afternoon on Adam's roof, except the Marlon didn't need 10 minutes to down 6 HDB, just a little over 5:30. It wasn't really much of a contest for Marlon. I think with training, Marlon could be a contender on the professional eating circuit.http://www.tienmao.com/archives/002819.html "You Best Back the Fuck Up or I Will Pop You!"- July 18, 2008 That's what Randolph is thinking here. He would use his gigantic paw.http://www.tienmao.com/archives/002818.html Clean Apartments Are the Best- July 17, 2008 There's nothing like coming home to a clean apartment after you've been at work. An apartment that is clean and where your feet squeak on the freshly cleaned floor. That's like the best thing in the world.http://www.tienmao.com/archives/002817.html The Most Affordable Food Option in DUMBO...- July 16, 2008 assuming you have an unlimited Metrocard. If you don't, this is still a reasonably priced meal for the area. All you have to do to buy food at this restaurant is take a trip on the F into Manhattan. One short stop from York Street to East Broadway, you'll find a restaurant at East Broadway and Rutgers Street. There, you can get what's pictured above (three treasures over rice or san bao fan in Mandarin) for the super cheap price of $4.50. It even comes with those veggies. My order had two...http://www.tienmao.com/archives/002816.html Yesterday's Sunset at East River State Park- July 15, 2008 Apparently, it got even more absurdly beautiful later.http://www.tienmao.com/archives/002815.html Jason and Elena's Wedding- July 14, 2008 This weekend, Shannan and I went down to Virgina for Jason and Elena's wedding. Not only was it a perfect day for the wedding (not too hot, not too humid), but it was a super fast and casual wedding. No long ceremony and I got to wear shorts. That's the perfect wedding in my book. Not so perfect was the occasional flyover by F-15s (even though I thought it was awesome).http://www.tienmao.com/archives/002814.html Weirdo- July 11, 2008 Sleeping in Bobo's carrier and upside down. So strange.http://www.tienmao.com/archives/002813.html Sparkler Jonas- July 10, 2008 By the end of the weekend, Jonas was getting tired of having his photo taken, so he covered his face with the sparkler in the photo. Okay, not really. That kid loves to have his photo taken.http://www.tienmao.com/archives/002812.html Jonas and His Bug Catcher- July 9, 2008 I believe Jonas was scared of showing us the bug in the 2nd picture. Even though he was showing the bug just seconds before and after. No bugs were harmed in the taking of these photos.http://www.tienmao.com/archives/002811.html |
