according to this test, im 54% nerd. im majority nerd?? i resent that assessment. sure i watch star trek, and i kno more acronyms than i should, and the occasional higher function, and more abt electronics than the avg person, and im a computer junkie, and………ah shit. thats not fair.
horse year
ugh….so stuffed. nothing like pigging on lots of japanese appetizers to fatten one up. makes you sleepy too….*snooze* im about to go to bed early…well, relatively early. must pack tomorrow. im moving to my new apartment on sunday! woo! a nice start to a new chinese lunar year. first order of business is of course…to hit the bars! woo! my friend marisols gonna attempt to co-pilot for me again…which should be interesting. particularly after last weeks little snafu which we will not discuss here since its pathetically embarrassing and such embarassment will not be publicized on the web. *ahem*
so the horse year is over…thank freakin’ god. all i gotta say is that the last lunar year was bumpy as hell. didnt kno what the fuck was going on. but now the year of the sheep is here. ah…gentle sheep. *pet pet* i can already feel my fortunes improving. my hair seems to style better…i dont seem to type with as much engrish anymore…wow, everything jus seems so much more clear. ok, so mebbe its all psychological. but whatever…all that matters is that i feel better.
waking up at 5:45am must be the most painful thing in the world. u get up, the suns not out. u catch the bus, the suns not out. u get to the subway…..and guess what? the suns still not out. thats jus sick and wrong. ok, so im here in the office for a meeting that we were supposed to show up for oh….say, half an hour ago. and it still hasnt started. this is when i would normally get in! this is not right.
mothman
movie recap!
i finally got around to watching the mothman prophecies last nite. yea, i kno its over a year old. whatever…it’s not like anything quality came out of late to tempt me otherwise. besides, who doesnt still enjoy a round of monty python? and thats what…nearly 2 decades old! ok, but i digress. mothman prophecies. richard gere is by far the scariest thing ive ever seen. i mean, the way he….oh, wait, he was the protagonist. whups. fine, i guess he was good in the role. a very creepy film. in no small part of course, because of its director mark pellington. the whole “based on actual events” makes it even creepier. its like when they found those blair witch kids’ movie…..what? that wasnt real? geez…those bastards.
err….
anyway, the working week can’t seem to get any longer. im currently working on mildly-entertaining projects at the moment, and as everybody knos, there is a direct correlation between interest and the passage of time/space. theres an equation, i swear. it’s prolly a log or something. so i actually passed out yesterday from boredom….thankfully during lunchtime. ive never slept so good on a mouse pad before. i cant wait for our weekly meeting tomorrow. its like a big prescription-strength sleep pill.
small world
sometimes the world feels too big, like you’re not able to see the ppl you want to see more often. and sometimes the world decides to shrinky-dink itself to a compact size where you have a one-in-three chance of running into someone you kno (for better or for worse). nyc sometimes feels like a small box too, but this time around it wasnt me, but 2 of my friends.
my friend margie jetted off to ireland to romp around and do her thang. so who does she happen to run into? one of our friends from college who happens to live in dublin. sure we knew she was living in dublin. but shit, does dublin consist of 3 streets and a hooters? well…interesting nonetheless. then my friend jess happened to msg me yesterday saying that she met someone that knew me from high school. yea. high school. after mentioning she met him thru her friend that went to princeton…it pretty much narrowed it down to….the rosen-ator (ator…ator….ator…..) so the world felt a hell of alot smaller yesterday right after i just had to say goodbye to my friend heading back to china. hmm…i dunno where this is going. im trying to come up with some profound significance in all this. but um…nope. brain fart. pooooo……
internet shy
marisol. ur paranoid. haha….=)
m3ntal contraband
ok, so its a tuesday. i usually do any kind of “habitual-weekly-thing” on mondays (nobody likes to immediately start working monday mornings), but since i joined today on a tuesday, and i took yesterday off, this’ll be the exception….
m3ntal contraband.jan.twoeight.zerothree
anybody else starting to really like korean cinema alot? ok, for the hardcore fans out there…i kno im a little late in coming. but better late than never. hollywood these days keeps churning out sequels, prequels, and shite. so i looked overseas for a while. ive always been into hk, anime, and japanese cinema…but was starting to feel a little narrow-minded. so after reading around, some korean movies got mentioned. i started with shiri…like everybody else. it was coo and all, so i started looking into it more…which led me to even more titles like whasango, attack the gas station, and yupgi girl. ill admit to watching yupgi girl over and over again (i kno its semi-romance! its happy and the girl is ridiculously cute, so bugger off!) even read dreamworks picked it up. scary…but they did translate the ring good, so who knos. my picks are kristin kreuk as the girl and….um….jason biggs?? as gyun-woo (lets call him gary). yea, i really couldnt think of anybody except pie-fucker boy to fill the whipping boy role. but kreuk…she is damn cute, and she needs to start shedding her spanky-clean image before she gets pigeon-holed. thats my 2 cents worth anyway. back to the main focus…um…korean cinema is good. ill prolly be picking up musa next, money permitting. getting a new apartment is mad expensive.
first entry
this has been a pretty good weekend, i have to say. it was all about getting in touch with people i hadnt seen in a while. one of which i hadnt seen in over 4 years.
so i got to chill with my friend jane saturday. we hadnt seen each other since we graduated college almost 2 years ago. i spent the better part of the day doing girl things with her. hair salon, manicure. i really connected with my feminine side. i really did. really. all capped with a nice round of soju and takoyaki and okonomiyaki for dinner. she’s out in connecticut, where they do fun things like…breathe air, and eat food. (jk!) well, the point was she’s far enough away to make the whole hanging out thing an effort. but then we got reminded how fun it was to hang out with each other, so we’ll hopefully hang out more now. woo.
and the second friend. well. ags. my ags. we hadnt seen each other in over 4 years. but we’ve been doing the email/aim thing since, and we’ve always been tight b/c of that. i mean, its still a pretty impersonal form of communication, but we always sound more eloquent in text anyway. and as long as the text backs up the last impression you had of that person, then it’s easier to pretend that that person is right there with you. so after all these years, she came to nyc (from china) for business, and we got to hang out. albeit an abbreviated “hanging out”, but at least i dont have to say anymore that we last saw each other 4 years ago. my ags is all grown up now! and coo as ever. but she’s going back to china now, and its back to aim and email. so now i have to start saving my pennies for those flight tix.
