Not too much today, ran into town to grab a wireless Internet card for my sister's laptop and watch the big Champions League game. The good news is AC Milan didn't lose, and a 0-0 draw going into the "away" leg (which is somewhat of a misnomer given that both matches take place in the same stadium) is the best possible result after a win. The bad news isn't football related atall, but from the NBA: The Lakers got totally, completely and utterly demolished by the Spurs, and now face a mammoth task (one which I don't think they're up to) if they want to retain the NBA title.

So let's forget sports. Instead, let's move on to something else. Idly browsing the beverage list on the 7-11 website (extreme boredom and some nostalgia for my HK days -- don't ask), I noticed something rather amusing. Clicking on the "Beer" or "Wine" tabs brings up a pop-up window that asks to confirm whether you're 21 before proceeding. What, you need to be 21 to even look at a website with a picture of a beer? Americans...
