2009-10-17T13:53:00.003-04:00

Junebug- Amy Adams is awesome.
Hard Candy- Ellen Page can kinda play a serious role.
Totoro- I like the japanese version better.
500 Days of Summer- creepy.
Mary Poppins- Dancing penguins and Dick Van Dyke makes me happy
6 Feet Under Season 1&2 - AWESOME.
The Squid and The Whale- not good.
Where the Wild Things Are- Karen O. is great.
Zombieland- hahahahahahahahahhaah

Someone needs to catch up with Fringe. I have no one to talk to about it and I do not want to start posting on forums.

The Office marriage episode was epic. so. epic.

kinda wish i did this

a banana shaped cracker and white plums that look green

2009-09-14T12:54:00.003-04:00

yumi brought back some awesome banana crisps from Japan. I immediately took a picture of it before it got crushed in to pieces in my bag. Devoured it soon after. yum!

These actually looked white when i bought them. Now they look green. The skin is really sour but the flesh tastes almost exactly like a regular plum.

i think i just found a new favorite author

Ignore Everybody

2009-08-21T22:24:00.002-04:00

Thanks to Eric & Gary who got this book for me just as I was running out of things to read

I love making the trek down to Ikea & Fairway at Red Hook. The water taxi use to be free, but now they charge $5. You can credit it back if you spend $10 or more at Ikea. I usually eat it away. Totally worth it! The ride back at night is amazing and really fun if you're on the roof.

I must admit the star is definitely Fairway.

i say cool beans a lot. but i mean it this time.

I've always wished i grew up in a restaurant family. (It almost happened.) And this book reinforces the reason why. love it!

books

2009-07-28T10:21:00.003-04:00

Randomly picked up this book and didn't realize it was of the self-help genre. I just liked the cover but the content is actually pretty interesting and kinda funny.

Here's a piece from the book:
"Remove shoes whenever possible"
"...One of the best natural massages you can give your long suffering feet is to walk barefoot through grass. Here you'll find nonaddictive mood stabilizer called "herbacinium". Since each foot has a thousand itty-bitty fibrous nerve endings, soaking the herbacinium through your balls, heals and toes and into the blood-stream can lower your heart rate by up to 14%.."

sure!

Today I was at Union Square and met a man who dropped me enough wisdom to fill a book with. It's funny how you randomly meet amazing people!

Parks are my new favorite places to chill.

Work is unpredictable and awesome.

I think I've seen this video at least twice every day since monday:

so much to tell

2009-07-26T22:49:00.003-04:00

Well well, what an adventure i've been through this summer. I'm still in the middle of it, but i think i need some breathing room to blog a bit.

first of all, for my own sake; this is a list of movies i'd like to watch specifically in the indie romance genre:
New York, I Love You (oct 29)
Adam (july 29)
Paper Heart (aug 14)
500 Days of Summer (now playing)

And i must see Shanghai, which comes out Sept 4 simply because my grandparents are shanghainese and i've grown up in a household listening to classic shanghainese music, eating shanghainese cuisine and watching shanghainese movies. Besides, old Shanghai is simply magical!

Lots of props to Nolan, who told me about all these great films.

I've recently seen the screening for The September Issue at JWT, which was pretty great as well. Especially when it's in the middle of the work day and you're lounging on the couches with delicious pastries and great people. I love my job!

HAPPY HIPPO!!! chocolate & cream inside, wafer nutty goodness outside. this is my 2nd time buying these, and i love em. pretty pricey for a pack of 5. (4.60) but it's adorable and deelicious!

Basil Seeds?

2009-03-30T10:09:00.000-04:00

this is the most disturbing bowl of goodness ever. it tastes exactly like how it looks except better and it's supposed to be very kind to your digestive health. Someone told me they were basil seeds, but she wasn't sure. yum!

2009-03-28T22:42:00.000-04:00

just ordered the Tokyo Citizen Bike in 'mango' on sale for 164. (plus 25 shipping) I'll finally be able to own a bike of my own!

I would like to try a Fat Pig.

2009-03-20T14:24:00.001-04:00

i wonder why the generic animal noise for a pig is oink. pigs don't really oink. they snort. so if someone is laughing and they snort, are they oinking?

HARHAR. he's even got the asian mushroom haircut. The funny thing was he was actually in a restaurant, about to eat in the episode. COINCIDENCE?!

things that made me smile

2009-03-06T13:17:00.001-05:00

in full resolution, my hand looks EXTREMELY crusty, it's actually really gross. (but it's not!)

saw them at West 4th Street train station on the orange line platform. Their music match their costumes, a bit odd and childish, but catchy. They had a suitcase full of dollar bills from people like me who took pictures.

I forgot to take a picture, but Drew (my boss) bought this T-Qualizer Cube Tshirt the other day and was totally flaunting it in the dark. I want one. It's glow in the dark & sound activated to sync to your voice if you're talking or to music. super!

2009-03-04T23:26:00.000-05:00

So i am 21 today. I must admit, I do feel a bit older. My back aches, my arm aches, my head aches, im tired. I wanna post a baby picture, but i'm too lazy to scan one. so let's just imagine me smaller, rounder, whiter, bald, and happy. Awww.

(btw, i've really grown to like the color purple.)

I like cards. Thanks for the cards! and the Texts! and Messages, and Voicemails, and facebook stuff, and food, and gifts.

i dont know what to say

2009-03-03T23:00:00.001-05:00

i look at this, and i honestly don't know what to say. They're the cutest couple i've ever seen? they're the oldest couple i've ever seen? i want to say they look like a real life couple but i can't pinpoint who they would be.

oh, btw it's all about the poodle cut.

2009-03-03T22:41:00.001-05:00

I NEVER GET THE RIGHT SIZE

2009-02-20T12:14:00.001-05:00

Alright. so i need flipflops and i have a tendency to order things online. first, i buy this in a size 6. (im a 6.5)
they're too small. which makes me angry cause i was really looking forward to wearing them on spring break.

Then, i buy these in a size 7:

they're too big. im not not picky with my flip flops. i just want them to fit me.

so now i'm stuck with a pair too small and a pair too big and i hate returning things online. it ain't too bad to wear flip flops too big though. i wish i hadn't spent so much on the chacos.

bitch

2009-02-19T20:07:00.001-05:00

so i was looking at the Westminster Dog Show results for 2009, and i saw this:

i wonder if they call it out that way. i think i'd be offended if someone called my dog a bitch.

Which reminded me, i rewatched Lady and the Tramp and i could've sworn Tramp called Lady by Bitch. I put on subtitles to make sure and it said something like Beech. (i forget) so why isn't it offensive to call someone a dog? What a DOG!

good news bad news

2009-02-19T16:02:00.001-05:00

good news, someone finally made a Bacon Cheese Pizza Burger

bad news, someone stole my dog and put him in a dog show.

Google Reader made me feel compelled to blog about some kick ass things i'm seeing on the internet. Also, i have this new camera that takes great pictures. (or maybe my old one takes terrible ones)

Etsy is selling these delicious handmade 'neck dodgers' for 50.00. me want.'

Nolan got me this today after visiting a nearby .99 store. I still can't swallow pills, but maybe The Pill Taker's Cup can solve this life-long problem for me.
