Accounting On Ice
Accounting on Ice
Thirsty for more action-packed accounting shenanigans? Bring your hockey gear to Accounting On Ice, a fantasized ice sports complex celebrating accounting concepts.
Accounting On Ice has three rinks, each with a different theme:
The Balance Sheet Rink is divided into two halves, representing the assets and liabilities sides of a balance sheet. The assets side is blue, and the liabilities side is red.
The Income Statement Rink is divided into four sections, representing the revenue, expenses, gains and losses sections of an income statement. The revenue section is green, the expenses section is yellow, the gains section is blue, and the losses section is orange.
The Statement of Cash Flows Rink is divided into three sections, representing the operating, investing, and financing activities sections of a statement of cash flows. The operating activities section is orange, the investing activities section is brown, and the financing activities section is gray.
Each rink is decorated with icons of different types of accounting items in the rink (e.g. types of assets and liabilities in the case of the Balance Sheet Rink).
Equipment:
Hockey sticks are styled as mouse pointers and USB dongles.
Pucks come with monetary symbols.
Tournaments:
The scoreboard shows the balance sheet of the complex.
Players wear jerseys with the names of different accounting terms.
Players are to skate around the rinks and score goals in the correct section.
The complex hosts tournaments with names like the "FIFO vs. LIFO Cup" and the "Going Concern vs. Liquidation Challenge."
There is a "Tax Time" skating party, where skaters dress up as accountants and compete in a tax-themed relay race.
Other amenities in the complex:
A ticket office named "Ledger"
A concession stand named "Audit" that offers snacks with names like "Debit Donuts" and "Credit Crunch"
A "Hall of Fame" that recognizes people who have made significant contributions to the field of accounting, categorizing them as "athletes," "builders" or "officials" for metaphorical comparison
A museum named "Rule of 72" that exhibits different artifacts from the history of accounting
A library named "Equity" with books and articles about accounting and with accounting formulae quoted like sayings on its walls
A computer lab named "Common Perennial Aches" with accounting software
A conference room named "T-account" for hosting accounting classes, workshops and seminars
A gift shop named "Trial Balance" that sells accounting-themed merchandise
The complex is open to the public and offers a variety of programs and services for people of all ages and skill levels in accounting and ice sports.
All in all, Accounting On Ice is a fabulous place to learn about accounting in an entertaining and interactive manner, to practice your skills, or to just have some fun on the ice. What are Big Four spectators waiting for? Get your bean counters to work on the bidding prices. You know the rule: No peeking at the human editor's estimated sales value.

More sculptures of dance attacks inspired by Ban Ji-eum's moves and the show's spotlight on Min Bok-jin's sculpture.
Human was shaking head as usual at the two-headed, three-legged zombies overpopulating their AI junkyard when it suddenly dawned on them that our perceptions of aestheticality and anatomy are not always valid. Oversized lumps and truncated limbs, for instance, are very much a part of our own reality. Although this insect artist did not intend to represent disability or real-life physical "deformities," some of the outcomes are all the same motivation to think about dancers who do not quite fit the mold.
Diffabled (Human is more uncomfortable with the adjective "disabled") arts practitioners would tell you that they are not some helpless, lowly class of denizens doomed to live on donations and empty kind words. They see the freedom to be more talented than even their "normal" colleagues they love and appreciate and can be more ebullient than anyone else, not least those not resolute in deciding for themselves what to do with their "complete" bodies.
Check out the previously inspired sculptures here if you've missed them.
Can a drama give any demographic a lifeline?
The big question: Did Netflix hit Extraordinary Attorney Woo improve the employment rate of any autistic population?
In Korea, the rate increased by 1.3% from 2022 to 2023, against an increase of 0.7% for the full population of the country, although there may be other factors at work.

Familiar Question
Does one of the challenges from @overchers ring a bell?
Lost Heroines
“Is there a taste you want to remember?” In a quaint alleyway in the heart of Seoul, a scarred, reticent chef known only as “Master” operates a low-key eatery from midnight to seven in the morning. The menu has just one modest dish, but patrons are free to order whatever they want. Night after night, various sorts of workers drop by and share their woes and joys over the hearty dishes, while…

A note of repentance!
Floral Bomb Bowling
Physical experience idea: For a touch of nature and a grit-cultivating element of unpredictability, players in medieval village garb or animal mascot costumes take turns to pick from a cart of transparent balloons stuffed with flower heads and petal powder. Complicated impact dynamics are introduced as the balloon selected for the turn may burst as it is rolled down the bowling lane. The elevated cost is justified because watching the jolly but starvation anxiety-inducing original game, Netflix's cabbage-bowling challenge (scroll to the bottom) for cast members of Avatar: The Last Airbender, sets off waves of warmth and guilt in relation to a tomato tennis tournament few know about. Food insecurity and crop wastage are real issues a double major in air-castle bending and soap bending readily overlooks until they see the real thing.

2016 Drama Soup for the Soul
The Asian Drama Philosopher (A-Philosopher)’s Chair thanks everyone for their warm support in the past, especially ladysighs for spreading the love for Six Flying Dragons beyond the drama blogging community. All the same, drama watching is a very time-consuming activity, so it does not really expect readers to watch any of the dramas covered on this site. What it truly aims for is cross-cultural…

Still mind-blown by this concept. It's arguably even more imaginative than Liu Cixin's scifi works, since people expect so much from books and screen creations but so little from disabled individuals, who have career dreams and need financial protection.
Escape From Everything Everywhere One by One —a film-inspired escape game
A series of escape rooms based on Everything Everywhere All At Once:
(Warning: Spoilerverse ahead!)
The first escape room: The first escape room is set in a laundromat, just like in the movie. The walls are covered in graffiti, and there are clothes and other laundry strewn about the room.
The keys: Players must find items that will allow them to travel to different universes. For example, they might need to find a pair of shiny buttons, a woman's and a man's, to travel to the universe where Evelyn is a movie star reuniting with her old love, or they might need to find a rock with googly eyes among many rocks to travel to the abiotic universe.
The puzzles: The puzzles in the escape room are all based on different universes that Evelyn Wang verse-jumps to in the movie. They block clues to the locations of the keys. For example, one puzzle might involve using the knowledge of a bagel chef to piece together the perfect bagel model, which acts as a knob of an oven cabinet where a key or clue to a key location can be found. Another puzzle would be translating Cantonese words on a signboard, by chaining up a jumble of bilingual dictionaries, only one of which contains English and none of which translates Cantonese to English, in the universe where Evelyn is a sign spinner.
The clues: Like in all escape game recommendations, some of the clues are obvious, while others are more obscure. For example, one clue might be a piece of paper with horrifying tax figures that would wake up even the deadest work zombie, while another clue might be a song lyric that only makes sense if you've seen the movie.
The physical challenges: Some escape rooms entail physical challenges. For example, in the universe where Evelyn is a cook contending with a rival who has a raccoon master, players can "knock out" an army of agile staff members dressed in raccoon costumes by hitting their fake tummies with paintballs. In the universe where Evelyn is an opera star, players are to wear Chinese opera costumes and gather in front of a camera within a time limit. In the hot dog universe—you've guessed it—players must work through everything using hot dog fingers. That, and playing piano keys correctly with their toes. The hot dog fingers could be made slippery, so that it's difficult to control them.
The ending: If players are able to solve all of the puzzles and overcome all of the challenges, they will be able to exit the multiverse through a giant everything bagel. Or maybe, they will beg the game host to let them stay for an eternity.
Obvious choices for background music: Laundry sounds, kung fu themes, Chinese opera, Le Festin, and the soundtracks of the film itself, In The Mood For Love, The Matrix, The Mask and maybe 2001: A Space Odyssey.
The escape room would be a great way to test film lovers' creativity and problem-solving skills while exploring the different universes that Evelyn Wang verse-jumps to in the movie.
Kindly remember to send this human editor and human generative filler the bagel donations.

An energy economy intubated, intercepted and interrogated by its multiverse escape game, TikTok-addicted black holes, go-getting cerebral vampires and healing rice ball spirits. Originally an extension of The Asian Drama Philosopher (A-Philosopher)’s Chair, a site examining literature, art and ideas featured in East Asian series.
