Omaha Press Club

For those of you who follow "The Office" on NBC, I'm basically on the party planning committee for our office. Part of being on our Spirit Committee is planning for our Christmas party, and that included helping plan the menu, which I gladly volunteered to lend my expertise!

The Press Club is a very swank place, located at the top of one of the tallest buildings in the city. They have a very impressive menu to go along with their impressive location. I started out with a Lobster Bisque, and then had a Prime Rib French-Dip sandwich (pictured above) which was amazing. I don't know if it was because the meal was free, really good or a combination of both, but it literally melted in my mouth.

We were fed an assortment of deserts which were equally impressive... I really like the Torte.

All I can say is I can't wait for our Christmas party!

UPDATE: Our party here never happened due to budget cuts... it sucks I know, but hey, at least I got a free meal out of it!

Last night was the season premiere of South Park, and what a premiere it was! The episode was entitled The China Probrem. The preview of the episode off of the South Park website read, "With the rest of the American people haunted by the memory of a recent tragic event, only Butters will stand with Cartman as he confronts the Chinese."

As an Asian-American, this had to be one of the funniest episodes of South Park I have ever seen! The image on the left shows Cartman and Butters infiltrating a Chinese stronghold (P.F. Chang's) to obtain the Chinese invasion plans of the United States. It was very funny to hear Cartman and Butters speak Chinese. There were also some very disturbing images that were outright hilarious, ranging from Butters being a "dick shooter" to Steven Spielberg and George Lucas raping a Storm Trooper and Indian Jones (repeatedly in fact!).

South Park continues to set the bar, and I'm very excited to see what is in store for us this season!

You can check out the episode in its entirety over at South Park Studios.

Halo, Goodbye!

After a very shaky game 3, the Red Sox finally put away the Angels in the bottom of 9th inning... talk about dramatics! I thought we were doing ok during the 7th... we were up by 2 and Lester was still going strong. However, the bullpen kinda choked, but thanks to new guys Jed Lowery and Jason Bay, we were able to squeek on by for the win!

I'm glad it didn't go to game 5, as I have lost a lot of sleep this past week watching the games.... I can finally rest easy, at least until Friday! Dice-K gets to pitch again, so hopefully he gets a little more support from the offense this time than in game 2. I also hope that the bullpen comes out a little stronger and lives up to thier Black Pearl nickname!
