Wedding in K-Town

Two hours of fish and whiskey, oh yeah and people teasing me for not getting their Taiwanese jokes. I thought someone told me it was going to be at the Howard, that is why I got a room there.

Kevlar in K-Town

Kaoishung has a pricey hotel called the Howard. Everyone is smiling "Good morning sir.. Good afternoon sir..". At 4 pm "I am here to turn down the bed, sir". Someone came at 8 am to drop off a newspaper.. they rang the door but I couldn't get up. Great breakfast buffet. They had everything.

Went to the zoo. Saw "Love River", it was rainning so I didn't bother with the ferry ride. Went to an 'Expensive' night market, had my first Turkish icecream. went to a wedding.

poor cats, love and marriage

R: Hey Kevlar, what's a poor cat say?

K: I don't know.

R: Mei-you, Mei-you.

K: Ha! oh, you are so funny! I got one.

R: OK.

K: I asked my wife where she wanted to go on our anniversary.

R: What'd she say?

K: She said, "Someplace I've never been!"

R: Uh-huh.

K: So I said, "How about the kitchen?"

R: Har! So how long have you been married?

K: Two years.

R: So you're already counting the years then are you?

K: That's not funny and you're a... You know what kind of ring I got?

R: Um, a wedding ring?

K: No! Suffering!

Thanks to the central weather bureau for getting this up promptly. I was watching the kid take a bath for the 6.4. Pretty scary to think you're leaving the house in under a minute and your half soaked. Well I changed clothes and prepared the kid to go out. Then I hoped another quake won't come while I'm sleeping. I never felt the 5.4. My Wife is watching the December 24, 2004 Tsunami movie on HBO. Think I'd rather watch some silly Japanese cartoons.

Toys R'Us

Is it cheating? I decided to buy "The wife " a new cellphone. She received a coupon from AmrosBank that gives her a free phone valued at 10000 nt if she signs a contract. I paid the cab fair she signed up for the phone. Is it cheating? I don't think so, I'm sure the phone bills will land on my desk. Then a 180 cab ride across town to the toy store. My kid was in heaven. Content to fill her mini-cart with legos and anything else. Not because she wanted the toys.. I think she only picked up and carted what she could lift. Anyway let loose in the pratically empty store she returned several times to this airplane. So Santa thought it a sign and put it in the cart. It whirls and twirls, lights and buzzes. However the curious little girl seems quite taken with the storage capacity of the trunk comparment. This maybe the future hiding place of Da Da's keys.

the marlin comes out at christmas time

you know it's the holiday season when kevlar busts out the christmas marlin. i just learned this today but the christmas marlin is a long standing tradition in the kevlar clan. no one knows why but the marlin is revered by antigonishers and kevlar wouldn't tell me today when i asked him. the only information i could get out of him was that all kevlars must knit one before passing to manhood and a fresh one must be eaten each christmas. if a marlin cannot be acquired, tuna fish is an acceptable substitute. abalone smothered in mayonaisse a distant third. buffet style is preferred.

A Christmas trees and an Elf

Oh yeah it took me 1 minute and 43 seconds ..because I had a helper.

OK last one... Darth Vader the meter man aspires to something greater, made me think of D-Train...

ripping on Star Wars again... this time the Emperor spouts some classic SW dialogue

another Family Guy clip, ... How To Get Women

I've never actually seen a full episode of the Family Guy but have heard good things...

In this one Luke Skywalker shows up a fellow pilot during the first Death Star briefing

what's in a name?

R: Hey Kevin, do you know what your name means?

K: Is this a joke?

R: No. Do you know?

K: No. Not really.

R: No idea?

K: OK, "Angel Saint".

R: What?

K: "Angel Saint".

R: You think your name means "Angel Saint"?

K: Well, you asked. Why? What's it mean then?

R: "Handsome". From Irish Gaelic.

K: That's it?

R: Or "Good Looking", if you prefer...

K: Figures.

Monday night wedding

The end of 2006 is forcing couples to tie the knot quick. Monday was his lucky day. Great for me cause I could make the trek to the Hua to see The Hoe and his little Miss Taipei. What a great time! Saw lots of people ate some food, drank some whisky and chased my daughter all over the restaurant.
All my pics were taken thru a high-tech blurred-whisky filter so I scanned the cards I collected.

X-Box is ill

X box won't power up. I left my game of Dragons Lair on pause to take my daughter for a stroll. I return to find the xbox and TV turned off. My daughter of one and a half thinks Dirk the daring is amusing to watch, he makes goofy sounds and jumps like a sissy. I attempt 20 times to get the power back,.. of course for the entertainment of the child and I failed. Some quick trouble shooting google research has led me to believe that I need a new fuse. Where can I take the box to get repaired? I'm affraid the store clerks will laugh at my old X-box and snicker at my foolishness in wanting to repair it.
I will take it to the place I got it chipped. Then I will try NOVA. Then I will try a TV repair shop. I would just like to know if there is a good place. ie"One stop repairing?"

'merry fuckin christmas'

No student gets left behind

Blast from the past guess who I ran into at Hoe's wedding! I am still in shock. After a mild recovery I got an ear full about Bush and the affects of the "No student gets left behind policy". Really interesting evening. Now if I can just get Elliot and Shane to cross paths.

ghosts of viator past...speff jargo

This won't mean anything to anyone other than Kevlar but,...

Go by Caves bookstore at around 2:30 this afternoon and you'll be sure to catch the unique teaching stylings of Aussie Jeff Spargo... on the agenda, 'brooming', a sport which he invented, and the 'look at my eyes while I eat food' game which is sure to be a crowd pleaser. Whatever happens he'll be letting the kids decide what they want to do. Afterwards, he'll lay some newspaper down and have a wee nap at the foot of the stairs...

I have and I want..

I have had a sony trv 340 for about 4 years. It is fine I think I got a fair amount of use out of it. It cost about 22000 nt and never had any serious problems. Christmas is coming and I want a HDR SR1. It cost 50000 and is not apple compatible. The AVCHD has 1080 lines, the trv340 had 500 (sorta). The new one takes video that looks like a mirror reflection.Awesome! I am affraid that with a few shots of tequilla I might be in line at the Sony store
