makes me feel like wanting to eat bread everytime I watch the series

Congratulations to Rudy who's been promoted to manager. Though he's taking up two portfolios, I think he'd be able to handle both of them. Just more beneficial for the company, pay one guy to be manager for both. Sounds like cost saving.

I've just managed to collect the pilot episodes for Battlestar Galatica(BSG) from Wan Yee. Though I'm already up to episode 8 of season 2, I felt pretty lost in the first season. For those of you who do not know what the show is about, a brief summary would be that there are 13 colonies of humans around the galaxy. Earth, being number 13 was the heretic. Basically, the 12 colonies are being terrorized by Cylons, these robots that were created by the colonies and they gained "consciousness" and were able to fight back. So basically after watching the first few episodes of season 1, I was pretty lost at what they were running from. Further on to the season, they reveal that Cylons took up human forms as clone. So each Cylon you kill, their memories get downloaded into another body, which enhances their learning experience. Talk about killing your enemy and for them to come back with a vengence.




I also picked up the anime, Yakitate!! Japan, which literally translates to "Freshly baked!! Japan", which revolves around a boy named Kazuma Azuma who has the notion of baking a bread that represents Japan. He was introduced to a baker by his sister when he was a young boy. The baker noticed that he had a gift, warm "Solar hands", which makes the yeast ferments quicker, thus making the perfect bread. He was the one who planted the idea into Azuma's head saying that the French, German and English all have their breads. Why not Japan?

Yen watched the show and she too enjoys it. Somehow, it makes me feel like wanting to eat bread everytime I watch the series.

Yes, very much agreed. Sometimes it goes too fast and you can never seem to catch the pun.

Love that anime. His croissant is an absolute delight but nothing beats bread # 14 (if I remember correctly), a bread so deliciously tasty that one bite takes you to heaven... literally. lol
