Ok so a coworker gave me his Big Mac because there was some special deal for two at McDonalds. Somebody save me – I’m Chinese and cannot let food go to waste!

I hope you all had a good new year. I had a fun one with the friends… although it was a little hazy due to all the drinking before hand. I think that we even counted down after midnight already passed.
Got any resolutions for 2009? I’ve never made any new year resolutions, mostly because I’m a firm believer in always trying to become a better person. BUT if I had to choose one, I guess I would say to be a better father. Kristy is really teaching me so much about what it means to be a father and I think it’s probably the most difficult thing a man can do. Being a father takes some serious effort – as in life changing effort! She is definitely opening my eyes constantly and making me realize that being a father is less about setting ground rules and being a firm dictator, but more about empathy and guidance. I sound old!
Speaking of old… look at how old this blog is!! If you count the time when I was blogging before I made sileightymania.com, I think this blog would be 10 years old. If not, then this entry marks the start of it’s 9th year. Are you kidding me??? Where has all the time gone?
 
Ever since we had Yakitori at Shinsengumi in Gardena, life has never been the same – we crave it ALL THE TIME.  Yakitori is Japanese style bbq where the meat is skewered – usually not huge honking skewers like kabobs, but much smaller.  The point is to order a variety of them and usually to be drunk at the same time – which really helps with paying the bill because yakitori is generally very pricey.  If you can manage to not get carried away in conversation and beers and the reckless ordering of more food, it would be a lot cheaper, but what is the fun in that?!
I’ve been trying to figure out a way to have yakitori at home so that we could afford to eat it more often… so far I’ve found a lot of these grills that are much too small…
 
Here’s a cool one… it’s long so you can put a lot of skewers on it, but the sucky thing is – it’s electric!  I’m pretty sure to get the authentic taste, you need to use charcoal.
 
Here’s one that is way too small, but at least it uses charcoal.  I’m gonna have to get 3 of these!  One for each person!
So far I’m not sure what to do… I don’t really like either of those 2 grills.
Marc sent me this link to a quiz game the other day. It is now affecting my productivity.
It’s a really well done site. I’m not sure how they’ve afforded to do so many episodes!
I updated the blog thanks to Dave
