This summer, you’ll find me at 7-11
One of these days soon, I’ll get around to updating this blog with:
- A minor photo essay on my trip to Italy
- A new edition of Kozo’s Shopping Cart of Crap
Somewhere in there I’ll squeeze in the 10 or so reviews I’m working on.
In the meantime, here’s some awesome personal news: my local 7-11 just got a brand new Slurpee machine:
My best friend this summer.
This means two things: A) now I can get Slurpees near my home to help combat the oncoming muggy days of Hong Kong Summer, and B) it’ll actually function properly because it’s new. A few years back, I tried out a Slurpee machine in Wanchai, but it was apparently old and ignored, because it dispensed a Slurpee that was 80% syrup and 20% everything else. After drinking that Slurpee, my blood sugar level hit an all-time high of 90%. The sugar high was so great that I woke up the following morning in Aberdeen on a junk, sans wallet. At least I still had my pants.
So this summer, if I miss a site update, that’s probably where I’ll be: getting a Slurpee at 7-11. Maybe nobody else cares, but I sure as hell do. In my book, Storm Riders 2 has nothing on this news.
These guys probably wouldn’t care to hear that.

Storm Riders 2, you say? As directed by the Pang Brothers…
Aside from the Watchmen film, 2009 just got a whole lot more interesting.

With the combination of global warming and Hong Kong, Slurpees are probably the most important thing that can be blogged about.

Yes, Americans can be proud of a handful of things, including the Slurpee (I’m assuming it’s an American invention?)
Is it Flaming Brothers that has Chow Yun Fat’s character working at a 7-11 in Hong Kong?
Knowing that there are 7-11s in Hong Kong means that even a guy like me could survive there.
Happy Summer!

Damn that 7-11! How dare they try and tempt our beloved webmaster away with sugary, neon-coloured drinks!
I worry for your health Kozo, the Slurpee machine is not your friend.
P.S. Around the world in 80 days was on (UK) TV a few weeks ago, guess who popped up?!
Daniel “I’m worth it” Wu. Heh!
