Let me just close my eyes for a second.......


Every year around this time, our program invite a group of perspective students to visit. They tour the campus, talk to the faculty, and the current students. The admission to this program has become increasingly competitive in the last few years, I really think if I apply right now, I would not be getting into the program. Actually, I am really not sure how the fuck I got in here back then. Anyway, at the end of their visit to UCSF campus, the program take them out to dinner with faculty and some current students. It is a good chance for them to find out more about the school and the city in a less boring setting. We usually drink shit load of wine and beer, since the program is paying for it, good times all around.

Some how some jackass who is currently a student here, was under the impression that I know something about working as a bartender. So when a girl that is visiting asked about maybe bar-tending outside of school, this jackass told her she should talk to me. Honestly, other than the fact that warm soda sucks ass, I don't know anything about anything. Obviously I was not very helpful for her.

I don't know where she had bar-tended before or what kind of place she works at now. I don't think any place around here would allow their bartender to pass out before the party is over. But hey, what the fuck do I know.

Fanta!!

When was the last time anyone actually drank Fanta? I sure as hell can not remember. Try to go to a restaurant and instead of ordering a coke, order a Fanta and watch the reaction on your server's face. The folks from GE that we have been working with bought pizza for us for lunch a couple of days ago and two cans of Fanta was among the assortment of beverages. Apparently Fanta is actually popular in other countries. Curly hair just returned from south america and said she saw Fanta everywhere, five different flavors no less. I just drank an organe one, it was okay, I am just glad it was cold.

that was not cool at all.....

So I was at cigar bar on Saturday as usual. It has been quite cold here in the bay area for about a week. It is mild compare to the east coast, but for pussy californians, it is pretty fucking cold. So I was wearing the warmest coat I have, this peacoat I bought when I was in college. I had it hanging in the closet in the back while I was at the bar. At the end of the night, I went to get it and it was not there anymore. I really don't understand why the fuck anyone would want to take my coat. I did paid I think somewhere around $300 to $400 for it, but it is old, a little beat up, and it probably will not fit most people. I am really not fucking happy about this. It is not just because the fact that I have to buy a new coat, but this fucking piece of shit coat really is worthless for anyone but me. I can understand why people steal money, say if they have a drug problem, or something like that. But a fucking coat?! You can probably only get $10 for it at the thrift store, if that. WTF....

Eat them!

I saw this news article on bbc.com (http://news.bbc.co.uk/chinese/trad/hi/newsid_4690000/newsid_4693300/4693318.stm). Apparently great britain has been invaded by these crabs (Eriocheir sinensis) that came from china. They think they got there because the water inside the tankers may contain the eggs of the crabs. Experts think these crabs are a big problem because they disrupts the balance of the ecosystem.

Obvious these "experts" have not been to china. Chinese people love these fucking things, we almost ate them to the brink of extinction. Now people in china raise them in farms to keep up with the demand. And their prices have being going up steadily over the years. I have had them, they are fucking delicious.

Easily solution for them, really. Get people to start eating the fuckers, they will disappear in no time.
