sam told me about this one dwight howard play on sunday while we were waiting for the 5 on 5 pickup game to end, and it wasn't the sticker dunk during the all-star break.

i had to check it out for myself, so i visited youtube.

oh, my, goodness...

anybody else realized that it hailed around 2:00 pm today?

i'm thinking, buckteeth may be caused by having really high lips, thus revealing a lot of upper teeth. slanted eyes by very high and huge cheekbones, lifting the face. something like that.

let's ooze some asian fruit knowledge, cause i'm curious about food like that, ok?

i had no idea longan's english name is exactly that; longan. and that it really looks like the same as lychees, but if you dry it, it turns brown. i always wondered what the name of that brown-colored fruit that my mom put in abundance in red bean soup. it was usually that, lotus seeds, or tiny tapioca balls(i made it w/the 3rd in davis, wished i could do the 1st) now i know. i love lychees and longan. good, good, fruit.

oh yeah; those orange, pellet-like fruit my mom used to put in abundance in chicken soup(along with dates and ginseng) are called wolfberries. they're now being sold like they're dried cranberries at costco, called "gogi berries." wouldn't be surprised if they become the next newest thing from china, and then soon grown in the united states(so far, only in china right now i think).

and i tend to like dried dates a lot more than fresh ones, though fresh ones are good too; yes, i've eaten those before. the best way i can describe fresh dates are a dry apple. not a "dried apple," but imagine the flavor, texture of an apple, smaller, brown on the outside, whitish green on the inside, but not as much juice. you bite into it, look inside, the flesh will seem all about the same, except there's a lot less juice. like i said; "dry apple." dried dates are ridiculously sweet, which is why i tend to like them a lot more; they're usually almost syrupy.

and you don't call red bean, "red bean" in english-conversations that don't involve asian topics, since there's too many red-colored beans; you call them "azuki beans," using the japanese term.

"arasol?"("understand" in korean)

you should watch snl's celebrity jeopardy, best of sean connery on youtube. i couldn't stop coughing from laughing so hard from darrell hammond saying,
"will the penis mightier really mighty my penis?"
