Herra Chinky

See, there's this site called Yelp, where you can write reviews of various restaurants, bars, businesses and whatnot.

I posted a crazy number of reviews mostly not reviewing actual establishments but instead ranting about my insane Chinese family, my ridiculous world view, and my everyday life. In the process, I became one of the most "popular" people on the site.

This tumblr is a reposting of some of my favorite reviews.

Lost Weekend Video

1034 Valencia St
San Francisco, CA 94110
(415) 643-3373

I took a pretentious film class at Berkeley, and the professor of the class lived in the Mission (I might have seen him at Ritual Roasters recently) and took pride in being more-pretentious-than-thou. Seriously, he would smoke cigars (not in class, of course), wear a beret, speak in a mock euro-french accent, and dress in all black. If he had a goatee and a baguette, I would swear he was a mime (yes, he was also that pale). Ah, self-caricaturization.

Anyways, he swore on his maman on Lost Weekend Video. And I think describing this professor to you speaks more about Lost Weekend Video than I could ever tell you otherwise.
