i dance. you dance. we all dance… at sundance?

January 27th, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in adventure, movies

went to sundance this last weekend. i probably should have checked the weather before i left, because it was cold. it probably wouldnt have been so bad but… i didnt bring snow pants… or boots… or a snow jacket…

man, what good is the weather app on my iphone if i never use it?

heres the view from the cabin:

it looked like every other cabin from the street. so i built a snowman/bouncer for our front door. whenever we called a taxi, we’d tell the driver to look for him.

those are potato chips for his eyes and buttons

by the third day, this became pretty ineffective:

im meeellltttiiinnnngggg

i fully expected to see vincent chase, king of sundance, walking around park city. instead, i got to see patty, the hooker, from my name is earl. here she is eating some cheeseburgers:

here she is on the show:

and here is the view from downdown:

brr. im getting shivers just looking at these pictures.

January 15th, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in adventure, food

sing along everyone!

frogs leap in napa has a farm.
e.i.e.i.oh
and on this farm they have angry chickens.
e.i.e.i.oh
with a squak squak here and a squak squak there. angry chickens, attacking everywhere.
frogs leap in napa has a farm.
e.i.e.i.oh

ps. the food at ad hoc is amazing. i cant wait to go get some revenge on fried chicken night.

back from cabo. no swine flu (i hope)

June 22nd, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in adventure, food, news

back from mexico and i dont think i have swine flu. i do have a tan though. and about 10 mosquito bites.  and sand in all sorts of weird places.

we stayed at the westin for 6 days. always sign up for the royal beach club when you stay there. free breakfast, but more importantly, free drinks in the evening! i like pina coladas.

here is the view from the room. there are 7 pools.

cabo1

here is the famous arch in cabo. the rock formations are really cool. i definitely recommend taking a glass bottom boat tour. the tour guide will try to charge you $20. we got the price down to $8.

here is some of the food we ate. you should always eat oysters at restaurants with gold signs.

cabo food

now people are always saying,

dont drink the water in mexico! only get bottled water! dont even get ice in your drinks! youll get the muddbutt like in sex in the city!

whatever. nobody had any problems with that (that im aware of). but then again, we were staying at a resort town. they probably filter everything.

all in all, it was an awesome vacation, a perfect blend of eating, drinking, beaching, exploring, getting losting, adventuring, and doing nothing. im probably going to forgo mexican food for at least a week though.

no more chips and salsa por favor.

i am abominable snowman

December 16th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in adventure, design, news, sports, store

phew. long time no post. sorry about that. with the holiday season coming up, and all of the shopping that i had to get done, ive been in a bit of a cranky mood. as the years go by, seem to get more and more irritated at the mall. and to think i used to pride myself on patience. am i turning into scrooge? now that would be horrible, considering how much i love the holidays. better queue up my christmas playlist on itunes.

as for the holiday plans, i am heading up to tahoe this weekend. thank goodness mother nature has been dumping all week. and speaking of it, 25 degrees on wednesday night? seriously? what happened to all the global warming talk? im looking at you al gore.

so i havent been snowborading for about, two years. hopefullys its like riding a bike. i mean i dont think ive forgotten how its done. and ive been longboarding on and off during my time off the slopes. that translates doesnt it? who knows? maybe i might end up on my butt most of the time, covered in snow, looking like the abominable snowman.

so if you see a guy in the lift line, looking like this angry ninja character on this shirt, you best run/ski/snowboard/sled away. rawr!

give em the axe the axe the axe the axe!!!

November 20th, 2008 | 3 Comments | Posted in adventure, design, sports, store

big game weekend is almost upon us, and you know that theres no way i would let that occasion pass without unveiling a new design. now i originally thought of a bunch of juvenile shirts like a bear peeing on the tree, or a bear chopping down a tree, but this site is suitable for kids of all ages. peeing on things and violence is never the answer.

its been a while since my golden bears havent had the axe (big game trophy), so i hope that this makes the players hungry for the win. although rose bowl and holiday bowl aspirations are gone, a win over stanford is always a nice way to close out the season.

i will be watching the game at good old (emphasis on old) memorial stadium. with the crappy driving and public parking situation, ill be riding the ever so lovely bart. im risking my life sitting in the stands of a stadium built on a fault line, and riding with hobos and winos on bart just for the game. god i hope we win. and that i dont die.

go bears.

November 2nd, 2008 | 4 Comments | Posted in adventure, news

cmon now. how could i be anything else other than an angry ninja character?

conversation of the night:

girl at bar: so what are you supposed to be?
me: point to my t shirt
girl: i dont get it… a blackberry?
me: circle the angry ninja character on my shirt with my finger
girl: you dont look like a blackberry…
me: take my drinks and walk away.

time to spit some game… tomorrow

October 30th, 2008 | 4 Comments | Posted in adventure, design, food, gaming, news, reviews, store

first of all, i have to say sorry for the lack of updates this week. you see, little big planet arrived last saturday, and ive spent a lot of my free time running, jumping, swinging, and creating. it is quite excellent. definitely a must-buy if you have a ps3.

rating: 5/5 angry ninjas

okay now that we got that out of the way, tomorrow is halloween, and heres how that shakes out

  • as a kid, that meant you got to dress up as your favorite super hero/princess and run around your neighborhood asking for candy.
  • as a teen, it meant you got to get dressed in all black and go around egging/toilet papering peoples houses.
  • as a 20-something year old, it means you get to put on all sorts of sexually deviant clothing and try to attract the attention of a member of the opposite sex.

for guys, this means dressing up as

  • spartan from 300 if you have the guns and the abs
  • dick in a box if you dont

for the ladies, youve got the options of

  • sexy kitten
  • school girl
  • naughty nurse

now halloween is one of those occasions where everybody goes out. it doesnt matter if your single, in a relationship, or in a coma. youll see everyone out at halloween parties, meaning if your single, this is the perfect place to meet members of the opposite sex.

sadly, other singles dont travel alone, so that sexy kitten or spartan youve been eyeing all night? well she or he comes attached to the hip with that ugly betty two face – and youre not even sure if ugly betty or two face is wearing a costume.

this is when you need a grenade jumper. what is that you ask? well a grenade jumper is one of your friends who will jump on ugly betty or two face, occupying their time and buying them drinks so that you can talk to the sexy kitten or spartan.

we salute you brave grenade jumpers – making the land safe for single people everywhere.

have fun and be safe out there everyone.

one super busy weekend

September 22nd, 2008 | 4 Comments | Posted in adventure, food, movies, news, reviews, sports

angry ninja so tired from weekend. lady was gone, so it was filled with angry ninja with friends activities.

thursday night

  1. after dropping off the lady at the airport, went to fu lam mum for their late night dim sum. four shrimp dumplings, pork dumplings, and three custard buns later, i am stuffed. and its also 12 oclock. way past my bedtime for a weeknight.

friday night

  1. tgi fridays is one happening place. what makes it so? happy hour from 10 pm to 12 am. half off beers and appetizers == super full. also super sleepy. always get the sesame jack chicken.

saturday

  1. the day was spent hanging out with my cousin, helping my dad repair the deck (made me feel manly) in the backyard, watching burn after reading, making shepherds pie (recipe to follow later – so delicious), and going out to bjs for appetizers and drinks. i think i just described enough activities for an entire weekend right there.
  2. burn after reading review – 3/5 angry ninjas

sunday

  1. 49ers tailgate! 49ers win! whoo! 10 am – 5:30 pm was spent in beautiful candlestick park.

and there you have it. now if only i could get another weekend to recover from this past one.

angry ninja is not like most people

September 12th, 2008 | 7 Comments | Posted in adventure, news

when most people encounter an elevator like the one below, they would probably not enter and ride. after all, who wants to ride an elevator and get shown on one of those creepy YouTube videos where the guy goes nuts and poops all over himself? yuck. that is not sexy.

angry ninja is not like most people. I entered that elevator and rode it up to old pro in palo alto. was it risky? maybe. but I really didn’t feel like walking up two flights of stairs to watch football. plus, i already risked my life many a time at cal while riding in larrys elevator so this one was no biggie. is that weird? would you have got on?
