About Me

i work in chinatown.1. i am afraid of the restaurant who's back door is open right by my work. with an open view to the kitchen, i have spied such items as: crazy chef always walking around with cleaver, same crazy chef always with cigarette in mouth while hovering over pots/pans of food cooking, little woman mixing whatever food she can at floor level, and the best yet, pigeons hopping around the kitchen floor pecking at food.2. i'm pretty sure all zombie movies should be filmed in chinatown.3. watermelon juice with tapioca is delicious.
