bar joke

Two weasels are sitting on a bar stool. One starts to insult the other one. He screams, “I slept with your mother!” The bar gets quiet as everyone listens to see what the other weasel will do. The first again yells, “I slept with your mother!” The other weasel says: “Go home, Dad, you’re drunk.”

A dino, a Russian mouse, a street rat, and a princess

Happy birthday, Mr. Disney. Your movies are awesome, but I have to say, the Don Bluth/Spielberg team that produced Littlefoot and that little Russian, immigrant mouse really knows how to tug at my heartstrings. No matter how many times I’ve seen Fievel Mousekewitz’s journey towards his search for his family or Littlefoot and his friends surviving their way to the Great Valley, I still get choked up every time.



Of course, seeing that it is Disney’s big day, I have to give it to the Disney peeps for knowing how to make any girl from age seven to eighty blush and giggle.


Love Jasmine ‘cause she didn’t believe all his smooth lines right away ; )

Kevin!!!

I think of this kid every December:



Well, it's December.

A Time to Kill

A Time to Kill...soooooo good. I remember having the biggest crush on Jake Brigance/Matthew McConaughey back in high school. Had a girly crush on Ashley Judd, too---how she managed to look beautiful with all that humidity is ridiculous.

McConaughey and Bullock
That movie takes me back to all those pages of legal briefs that I had to do during the early college years. What was funny was that I actually enjoyed doing them. Do I remember any of those cases today? Hardly.

I remember that it took me awhile to like my obnoxious, narcissist of a professor and yes, I did have something to prove. Don’t put a little 19-year-old kid on the spot just because she made the wrong choice of wearing a short skirt at the first day of class. I don’t remember him picking on the nerdy Asian kids (FYI, I was the “real” nerdy Asian kid. The ones he left alone were smoking before and after class, looking all cool and nonverbal with their baggy clothes). I just happened to work retail and usually would head to work after classes. Unfortunately, before I knew better, I did think tight, short, and heels were the way to go. Besides, I thought I was dressed for the part. I mean, don’t lawyers always go with the short skirt-and-heels combo? Haha. Anyway, the best part of that class was enjoying the impressed look on my professor’s face when he realized that I turned in some pretty decent papers. Grade: A+. Case closed.

For anyone under 10 years old

Before I lay me down to sleep, I just want to say something truly profound to youse kids:

Cannonball

Forget the cryptic video...This song never fails to amaze and feed my soul. Perfect cold weather music, too.

Here we go again…

Just wanted to grab something warm to wear from the closet and instead, I’m transported back to Narnia. Can I go to Oz, Neverland, or Pandora this time around?

And now let's talk about the panda agenda...

Thanksgiving preparation.

facebook goes back in time

I always laugh every time I read these. The things people come up with…hahahaha :D

(Sorry for the less than stellar picture quality; it's clearer individually)

Boo

So I missed out on the Halloween festivities this year. Boo! No biggie though. Every time I watch a horror flick, it feels like Halloween regardless of the date. Nonetheless, I've been thinking of the cool costumes one can come up with for this sugary day. Usually, I look at music videos for some inspiration---videos like the following:

meow

Smelly cat, smelly cat, what are they feeding you?
Smelly cat, smelly cat, it's not your fault.
They won't take you to the vet.
You're obviously not their favorite pet.
It may not be a bed of roses.
And you're no friend to those with noses.
-Phoebe

Definitely an Amos Lee kinda night

Just the kind of music to unwind to after a loooooooooooooooooooooong day.


Colors, by Amos Lee

(sigh)

Lately, life has been more of this...


...instead of these...

Note to self

Stumbled on this and needless to say, I pretty much agreed with everything the author had written down. What’s the point of being with someone who doesn’t truly “get” you anyway?

11 Things Every Girl Should Hold Out For
By Shallon Lester

Since I’m in between relationships at the moment, I’ve had some time to think about what I want and don’t want in a future partner. It helps, too, that I’ve had ample opportunity to observe all of my friends and their relationships. So I made a list of some must-haves we single ladies should be looking for. Well, not just looking for, but holding out for. Here’s what is non-negotiable:

1. A guy who can make you laugh. Some things in life are not funny. Can he make you at least chuckle when the chips are down?

2. A guy who will laugh at your jokes and “get” you. He might not understand you perfectly on the first date, but if you think you’re funny at all, I hope he gets that and appreciates it about you. Otherwise, you could be Kathy Griffin and you’ll still be laughing alone your whole life. Well, she's single. But I mean, if Kathy Griffin were—whatever!

3. A guy who will attend your lame “things.” Adult dance recital, Mom’s birthday party? Find the guy who will go to something boring even though he will get nothing out of it—but he'll go for you.

4. A guy who will do nothing with you. And I mean Nothing. If you’re feeling low-energy, anti-social, or blah, can he sit and do nothing with you or does he always leave you on the couch and go party with the guys? And could you two entertain each other on a deserted island or while stuck in traffic?

5. A guy who will give you a thoughtful gift or card. Not every time, obviously, but I would hope this dude would have his moments of showing you he has thought about you.

6. A guy who will say he loves you. I do not care about his made-up theory that love is just a social construct or what have you. Hold out for someone who can and will say it. Also, he shouldn’t say it just because you want him to; he should say it because it feels good to say it.

7. A guy you respect. Does he have a good head on his shoulders? Does he generally like his job? Is he proud of himself? Let’s hope so, ‘cause if you think he’s a lazy idiot, you’ll end up resenting him.

I asked some of my friends what they held out for, and this is what they told me….

8. A guy you have good chemistry with. He doesn’t have to be Jude Law, but you should be attracted enough so that every time you have an argument, you will be motivated (by your underlying desire for him!) to work it out.

9. A guy who agrees with you about travel. If you have wanderlust and he never wants to leave his hometown, don’t compromise by staying with him long-term and staying home. It’s fine to be a homebody, but if you're interested in exploring, find a guy with the travel bug. Otherwise, you’ll look back one day when you’re too old, tired, or broke and you'll wish you had seen the world.

10. A guy with similar family goals. Don’t compromise on whether or not you’ll have kids. If you want them, find a guy who does. Me, I don’t get serious with guys who say “maybe” they want kids. I want someone who feels as sure as I do—and I can't talk anyone in or out of anything.

And finally, the best one—of course, comes from my wise friend Melissa:

11. “Wait for someone who sees you the way you want to be seen. He thinks you’re smart, funny, beautiful and powerful—always. Even on days when you can’t believe any of that about yourself.”

That’s a good one! Can’t wait for that.

Angel of Music

Date with sisters and Mom at The Pantages Theatre in Hollywood for The Phantom of the Opera. I’ve been obsessed with this play since forever. How obsessed, you ask? Like, read-the-book-and-memorized-EVERY-damn-song obsessed. When the movie came out, I literally had goosebumps the entire time that I had to watch it two more times to make sure I didn’t miss a thing.





Sigh. If I can combine The Phantom and Raoul in one man, I will be a very, very happy gal. How’s that for obsession?

As easy as 1, 2, 3!

Been using these babies for quite some time now.
Now, I save the handwashing for the super, super special bras ; )

purple

n: A color with a fluctuating but ever-present position within the Hierarchy of Tricky Hues for Men (exception: Prince and The Joker). It’s currently in first place but being closely challenged by orange.

YES!
Doable...twead vewy vewy cwefully
ABSOLUTELY NOT!

sneeze number

n : the typical number of times someone sneezes during any given fit, which is usually between one and three, but can be as annoying as five or six.

bedtime story

Well, it’s almost Halloween, kiddies and it just got me thinking about the scariest images I’ve seen as a kid. It’s funny how I never screamed at horror movies as a kid when I do now. Perhaps I was so scared that I might pee on myself or worst, got into such a trance as my crazy childhood imagination took the fear to the next level. Who knows?

Anyway, here goes…TOP FIVE (By the way, these are just American movies. Some of the foreign monsters from my childhood were waaaayyyy creepier).

I was never quite the doll-toting little girl so it was no surprise that Chucky scared the bejeezus out of me. Mad props to the person who designed his outfit---extra creep factor.


Incidentally, how creepy is this?


Me dear ole Pops took me to the movies to watch this scary old man from Poltergeist II. Rain + old man dressed in black suit singing = 6-year-old girl wetting the bed for a week (maybe longer---I’ve blocked that out of my memory). Thanks, Pops.


It, the clown that knew how to tap into your greatest fears. I checked street drains for some time while walking home from school.


I’m not gonna lie…Sloth scared me the first time he showed his face on the screen. However, the Sloth-loves-Chunk bromance easily grew on me.


The Exorcist. Enough said.

penguins and promiscuity

Yes, folks, the animal kingdom has its very own red light district---Antarctica. Haha. Turns out some lady penguins are turning to prostitution to get rocks (a very hot commodity in Penguin Land, by the way) off their male counterparts. I suppose the economy hasn’t been kind to our tuxedo-wearing buddies as well. This is old news actually, but I just happened to recall this random bit of info as I watched a bunch of penguins frolic on TV at the exact time a certain Nelly Furtado song played in the background.

But don’t you fret, Chilly Willy lovers. The percentage of prostitute penguins is quite low. Also, certain types of penguins do keep the same mate for life while Emperor Penguins are monogamous…for a year.

In case of emergency...

...please remove your bra.

My hat’s off to a Dr. Elena Bodnar who invented a bra that doubles as an emergency respiratory device.



Silly? Perhaps. Just don’t come begging for the other cup in the event of a world disaster.
