Celebration

Summer plans are being in terms of productivity, so I have rewarded myself with a frozen yogurt waffle cone (it's not as bad as it sounds. Almost like a soft-serve ice cream cone). It's quite difficult to type coherently with just one hand whilst eating at the same time.

Now for the real celebration... Kid brother of mine is turning a whole decade old soon, so I will be rushing home for the weekend and setting up his scavenger hunt. As tradition has dictated for the past 4-5 years, I create a scavenger hunt for the kid brother that involves clues, missions, and pictures that lead him to the location of his birthday present. For this year, in a fit of productivity (read: too lazy to do actual schoolwork), I started brainstorming the setup. So far, this masterpiece will include: riddles, pictures, codes, and other neat-o things. Last year I incorporated Chinese clues into the clues - he apparently wasn't ready for that. NO WORRIES. This year's gifts are bigger and better. And the scavenger hunt will be also be at a new level. Not that I'm excited or anything Who am I kidding? I'M SO PSYCHED. I adore that kid (so cheesy. I know, but I'm not even going to apologize because it's the cheesy truth).

It's a sunny day out. Go treat yourself to an ice cream cone.

Hammurabi's Code

And other things. Hammurabi's for my etymology paper. The other things are for my friends. It's my genius  fault, really. I REALLY want to make a parallel between the hit show Friends  and my, well, friends. But we soon realized that the pool of characters wasn't enough to cover all of our friends. So, we started collecting more characters from TV show, cartoons, movies, books. Maybe what we need is our own original series. Too bad we don't have an objective third person to use as a narration device. I, as challenged by one of the said friends, will simply serve as the writer for now (let's ignore all of my emotional, delusional. and hormonal baggage that all of my imaginary audience is familiar with from previous posts). Let's start off with the easy ones... _____________________________________________________________________________ Coach Coach - Nick Kent if you're well-versed in the world of sports blogs - as I like to call him, has been a class...

So the conversation with my middle-aged, Chinese father went like so: "I remember the movies that impacted me the most when I first came to America" "Titanic" "No, Charlie " "Dad, what the hell is Charlie? I've never heard of it before?" a low-budget, 90s film perhaps? "nononono...You know the one with the 娃娃(doll) with the scar. Scary" "A doll? You mean Chuckie?" "Yeah. That's what I said. Scary doll, scared the shit out of me" "Really? Did you understand english then?" "哎呀(onomatopoeia of exasperation- aiyah! ) I didn't need to. So. Scary. At first, I watched by myself, but then I was too scared so I convinced your mother to watch it with me. She was pregnant with you at the time, I think. She thought the movie would influence your birth, but I was scared so there were no other options" "...So you risked your firstborn's birth to watch Chuckie?" "...Yes" ...

30 Day Drawing Challenge - Day 2: Favorite Animal

My darling Bonbon the Chihuahua. Who is more bark than bite. Who hates small children. Who is my favorite 跟屁虫. Who is a small dog in the land of giants. Who does not  shiver or have weird body proportions because she has more dignity than your average Chihuahua. Love of my life.
