Wow... Not sure what to think of this one

Legless Football Player Sidelined Over Knee Pad, Shoe Rule.

Now I wonder if the rule specifically states that you need to wear your knee pads and shoes on your knees and your feet. If I was in his shoes (no pun intended), I woulda bought a pair of baby nike shoes and just tied it around my neck or something.

Even if he's allowed to play on the field though, anyone that actually decides to tackle this player should go to hell.

UC Davis 20, Stanford 17

What a game! UC Davis beat Stanford tonight in football at the Stanford Stadium. I'm still in a state of shock. It's always fun to root for the underdog. The Aggies simply wanted the game a lot more than the Cardinal. They really played their hearts out tonight. It was so much fun being there to witness history in the making.

I'm le tired

Oh boy am I sleep deprived. Got home from work at 2am last night and got up at 6am this morning. Now I have to take Christophe to the SF airport so that he can finally go back to France for the first time in like 2 years or something!

To try to reward myself for working so much, here's my plan for the day:

7am-9am: Take Christophe to the Airport
9am - 10am: Breakfast at work
10am - 11:30am: Stair at my screen and do absolutely nothing
12:30pm - 2:30pm: 2 hour dim sum lunch in Mountain View with Rico, Trevor, Andy, Ray, Leo, and possibly Pei Pei, if she could walk all the way from San Jose to Mountain View to meet up with us.
2:30pm - 4:30pm: Beach Volleyball at work with my team
4:30pm - 6:30pm: Company TGIF happy hour and have a few beers.
6:30pm: Check my work email for the first time and reply to a few unimportant emails
6:31pm: Go home and start preparing for tomorrow's big game!

May I be excused?

Pei Pei at GooglePlex!

For those of you who know, my parents have been on vacation and so I'm left to take care of my dog Pei Pei at home. When I was about to leave for work this morning, Pei Pei gave me this super sad face. Since I felt somewhat guilty for having to leave her at home for at least 12 hours, I decided to bring her to work with me.

Man it's such a bad idea! She wouldn't stop panting the entire day in my office! My other three officemates were extremely nice about it, but I'm sure they found that the panting noise was rather annoying. Needless to say, I am personally going to have to ban Pei Pei from visiting work again.

I did look up online on why some dogs pant exccessively. The main reason that causes dogs to pant so much is because they're obese! Those who have seen pei pei know very well that my dog is a bit overweight. I guess I'm going to start teaching my parents and my sisters not to give her so much treats anymore. Until then, pei pei (aka the cheat) is grounded!

World Lines Up to Help After Katrina

For the complete list of countries that are donating money/supplies, click here.

Here are a few notable ones:

Germany said it would offer aid or money if requested by Washington.

Sri Lanka, still recovering from the tsunami disaster, pledged $25,000 to the American Red Cross.

Australia said it would donate $7.7 million immediately to the American Red Cross.

Japan donated $200,000 to the Red Cross and would also provide up to $300,000 in aid supplies.

The Vatican sent a telegram to say that Pope Benedict XVI was "deeply saddened" by the disaster and that he was praying for the victims and rescuers.

C'mon Pope! Open up the wallet a little. Who needs any more prayers when Britney Spears is already doing that.

And for me, I spent the whole morning watching TV coverage on Katrina, donated some money on amazon, and applied for a loan to fill up my gas.

Errands day

Today I...

• Woke up at 11am
• Drove my dog up to the park
• Let my dog walk me around at the park
• Picked up poop for my dog
• Turned on the sprinklers at my sister's house since she's outta town
• Picked up her mail at my sister's house
• Picked up newspaper at home since my parents are outta town
• Negotiated with my dog, and finally convinced her to eat again after going on strike for the last four days
• Wondered why I couldn't stop listening to Vienna Teng's song named Lullabye
• realized that Google Deskbar somehow subscribed to the RSS photofeeds from ogrish.com... wtf?

defected lava lamp?

I've had my lava lamp turned on here at work for over 24 hours, and even after being on for such a long time, it's still not doing what it's supposed to do.

At the reception desks here, their lava lamps would have multiple balls floating around, doing crazy things. Mine is just one giant ball floating up a little bit and then falling all the way back to the bottom again since it's so heavy...

I thought about calling the manufacture and saying "Dude, my balls are stuck." But I don't think that would sound quite right...

Survivor of New Orleans blog

Someone at work sent out this interesting blog. Apparently it contains live updates of what's going on in New Orleans right now:

Here's one unforgettable quote:

In case anyone in national security is reading this, get the word to President Bush that we need the military in here NOW. The Active Duty Armed Forces. Mr. President, we are losing this city. I don't care what you're hearing on the news. The city is being lost. It is the law of the jungle down here. The command and control structure here is barely functioning. I'm not sure it's anyone's fault -- I'm not sure it could be any other way at this point. We need the kind of logistical support and infrastructure only the Active Duty military can provide. The hospitals are in dire straights. The police barely have any capabilities at this point. The National Guard is doing their best, but the situation is not being contained. I'm here to help in anyway I can, but my capabilities are limited and dropping. Please get the military here to maintain order before this city is lost.
