Tipper Wants BBQ

Why America Rulz

You'll find 4 cheese pizzas on most Italian and pizza joint menus. 

At this, particular, American restaurant chain 4 cheese pizzas are for 3rd world countries.  Instead, they offer a 5 cheese pizza with pepperoni to boot.  

America - taking over the world one slice at a time.

Gone With The Wind

After weekly business trips over the last few months, I had seen almost every watchable movie Thai Air had to offer. So, I was fortunate to be on the 4 hour flight from Shanghai when I realized the 4 hour-long Gone With the Wind was one of the few remaining movies that I had not seen.

I did enjoy it, but I was a bit disappointed with the ending.  I'm okay with cliffhanger's or ambiguous endings, but that's for a 2 hour movie.  4 hours should be plenty of time to present a resolution or some kind of catharsis.  It's like the director couldn't make up his mind how to finish, and finally, decided that frankly, he didn't give a damn.

Finest Plastic

I came across the newest development in airport cutlery during a recent layover.  

The finish was so perfect that at first, I thought it was a super lightweight alloy.

Transformers

You know the business is slow when furniture companies need to use Transformers to sell sofas

These pictures were taken at last month's Shanghai Furniture Show

New Chair

I didn't need a chair, but after traversing a 3 mile maze and battling a thousand other lost souls, I couldn't walk away from IKEA empty handed.  So, I bought a chair.

So far, I've sat on it once, as it's now covered in cat fur, but at least I get my sofa back.

Spooky

Nuch and I found a new seafood restaurant near our place.  As usual, before we can start eating, Nuch must take some pictures and post them on her Facebook.

We had finished our meal and Nuch reminded me to "Like" her Facebook post.  When she checked her phone to be sure that I had "liked" her post (some couples have different ways of saying I love you), she asked in her best "I see dead people" voice - Do you notice anything?  I told her - yes, this restaurant is full of lesbians, which it was.  I figured that, unbeknownst to us, it was a secret hang out and Nuch had noticed the same thing. 

No!!  She told me to check her Facebook post.  I looked at the picture, then looked around, and a chill went down my spine.  The statue of the lady had moved and was now facing Nuch.  

I'm as skeptical as they come, but I had not noticed anyone behind our table.  We were in the back corner of this restaurant, so nobody could have walked behind us, and the staircase was used more like shelves, piled with trinkets, so nobody could have come down.  

The only other possibility is that a waiter moved the statue while Nuch and I were entranced by our smartphones and we did not notice them - but, who would believe that?

Fixed

Tipper has been on a little holiday this past week.

The veterinarian sent some pictures so Nuch and I can be sure that Tipper is enjoying herself.

In The Year 2099
