My brother Will got me a really nice pair of shoes.



Nice shape. Subtle color. Cute little bows.

( So what's the problem, Max?! )

That's what my friend Andrea said in an argument about taking an impromptu road trip versus just chilling out and watching back to back B-grade movies.

Speaking of dumb movies, I went and saw Carriers with a friend yesterday. I haven't really had time to sit down and think about it. But I think we always need to give movies some sort of creative space for them to be able to tell us a story. I can suspend my disbelief on a few plotholes here and there, but not too much.

Bottomline is, this movie is not exceptionally good nor bad, but it has it's merits.


LOL. Why is he always hanging off something? LOL.

Well, will you look at that? THIN. COTTON. SHIRTS. It's almost worth getting attacked by a crazy old lady on the bus.

Yeah, about that... On the bus ride to the movie house, this old lady kept asking the bus to stop and when it does, she won't get off. So after stopping three times, the bus driver yells at her to shut up or get off. AND THEN SHE PROCEEDS TO SWING HER CANE AT ANYONE WITHIN A TWO FEET RADIUS! Good thing she was a few rows behind me! She was escorted off the bus of course. And I pretended to be texting when she passed by me. God, I'm such a huge coward.

So after the movie, I went over to my aunt's house to babysit my cousins. How ironic is it that after watching a post apocalyptic film, I sit down with kids to watch three whole hours of the Disney Channel? And I discovered that my cousins (ages 3, 6 and 7) all have a thing for Demi Lovato. When Sonny with a Chance came on, they ~*touch*~ the screen every time she has a close up. IT WAS HILARIOUS. I think I like Demi Lovato. Props to Disney for promoting someone who isn't typically pretty.

And that was how my weekend went. How are you guys?

Asia has been storm tossed this past week. Did a little volunteer work and a whole lot of cleaning up, mostly for some friends who were unfortunately affected by the floods.

Special shoutout to madhatterinside and moonfoot_gamgee. I was so touched by your messages during the height of the typhoon. Thank you so much!

By the way, I haven't heard from you, madhatterinside. I'm really worried. I hope the Indonesian earthquake didn't affect you and your family. Write to me soon, my dear 여동생!

Anyway...

How do you guys like my new layout?

Yeah, I know it looks like shit but it's a start. I am proud to say that I have enough nerdery in me to screw around with CSS.

Got the base coding from minty_peach and the header image from www.jamesdean.com. It's a good picture of James Dean, but I think I fucked it up with mah mad photo editing skillz. By that I mean: my poor attempt at Photoshop.

But I haven't forgotten you James.

So after that sorry sorority rant, I found some stuff over the weekend that actually cheered me up!

1. MEEEERRRRLIIIN! How I missed this show! There has been a lot of spazzing all over the blogosphere so I'll keep this short.

Hey props people, WHAT THE FLYING FUCK IS THIS?



This basically summarizes the show in general: fancy, sparkly and gay. You'd think they'd pick something more sinister for a jewel that houses the cursed soul of someone who looks like this.

2. THE KANYE MEME. I'm not a big fan of Kanye West, especially after his jackassery at the VMAs, but I love how the internet collectively went "OH EXPLOITABLE" and jumped on the bandwagon.

Watch as Kanye goes head to head interrupts celebrities, politicians, other memes, historical figures, pop culture icons and many more!

3. SUPER JUNIOR M MINI ALBUM. I know, I'm pretty late checking this out, but oh well! The MV is so funny, but I think they couldn't dance very well in the suits. OH ASIA, WHY DO YOU INSIST ON SKIN TIGHT SUITS FOR MEN?!

And look, their official site has been updated!

That is all!

How are you guys?
