The only two things I hate about being Asian are both drink related. #1 turning red when drinking alcohol #2 Lactose intolerance.I had to make the painful decision to quit coffee today. Even just the little bit of milk in it fucks me up. I had a cappuccino before school and was hating life all day. Bad stomach cramps and lots of gas. It sucks being in class trying to ignore the pain and suppress farts all day. I’m not hardcore enough to take it black(like my men), I don’t like soy in coffee and I’m too lazy to carry around pills with me so I’ve got to find some other caffeine fix. Red Bull makes me shake which kind of scares me. Any suggestions? I can still eat cheese, chocolate and ice cream without the cramps but I think eventually I might have to give them up too. Man, that’s gonna suck!Got any lactose intolerance stories?

Sorry, been on deadline and all that goodness. So one bit or information that I’ll say just once. I appreciated comments that have nothing to do with my blog entries. It’s a nice way to reach out. But… know that I can’t write you back, and I don’t want to communicate with you through the comments section in a blog entry that has nothing to do with the comment. I can’t write you back. So, if you want something, I’m at eric@giantrobot.com. That includes LEGO® pieces, possible answers to questions (maybe – some things are out of control), and so on. Thanks much for reading and reaching out.

Get stoned and watch this:Was at the NY Guggenheim this weekend with Mom. I walked in and I could hear 50 Cent blasting and I was very confused as to how his work could be considered art. Turns out it was part of an installation there that was a dance floor with lights that were syncronized to the club music. Clever design and totally trippy as you can see with this video but I still don’t think it’s art. My Mom doesn’t understand why Modrian’s work is considered art, but she liked these pretty lights. I guess everyone has their own tastes.

My Mom’s visiting after giving a talk up in Rochester. They gave her a new digital camera as a gift so we were trying it out. We hung out in the park and talked. It was nice spending some down time with Mom.My Mom took this picture of an evil squirell. After we took the picture, I fed him a piece of garlic and he exploded.On our way out of the park we saw a music video being shot. Everyone was dressed in 80′s Old Skool out fits and looking dope! If you’ve ever been to Roppongi in Tokyo, you’ll see the Africans trying to pass themselves off as African Americans still dress like this.We then had dinner at Sushi Samba. A Latin/Japanese fusion place that’s suspicously a lot like Nobu, in terms of flavors. The Chinese sushi chefs recognized me and flowed us some free stuff. The Chinese connection in effect again! I only ordered the row in the middle.
