The regal day has dawned (almost); one more sunrise and tomorrow morning in this glorious country of mine (where astonishingly the weather has been outrageously good for the last fortnight), a new princess will join the long line of royals in our monarchy.
The good news for all us commoners is that we’ve been granted the day off work so that we can watch in anticipation (along with an estimated 2 billions others worldwide) as Catherine Middleton walks down that long Westminster Abbey isle wearing a dress designed by none other than the princess-to-be herself. Of course, all the while admiring her husband and praying she doesn’t trip on her train.
Here's the poster I had in my room for four solid years
If you’re +/- 30 years old then you remember the heart crushing love you had for Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic.
It was certainly my favorite flick at ten years old. I even saved the water bottles I consumed at the theatre as some sort of nouveau homage to the Titanic itself; to be cherished and cataloged, uncovered one day to mark my eternal love for Leo.
When we were all alone in the crib, there was something strange goin’ on, when gloom was in the room, and we were watchin’ the tube, Nader and I were calling GHOSTBUSTERS!
My favorite childhood movie is ‘Kindergarden Cop’, Arnold does it for me. The movie is filled with action, hot Arnold and romance. What more could a girl ask for?
Here’s my favorite quote from one of the adorable kid actors:
If you don’t you should def try and watch this super cute childhood favorite of mine. Featuring the funny and crazy Robin Williams as a young boy who is diagnosed with a disease where his body ages four times faster than a normal human being. He appears to be a 40-year-old man but really at heart is a carefree and loving ten year old that loves to play in empty boxes and wears power ranger pajamas.
I got four wisdom teeth taken out in Seoul last Monday. It was a bit strange transitioning from constantly moving and doing a gazillion things in India one day to being basically comatose and immobile the next day in Korea. I was given the nickname “The Grinch” because my cheeks were so swollen and green from bruising, haha!
Wisdom teeth survival guide: stock up on Korean yogurt and fruit juices!
Summer is upon us (well those not in Boston because we just can’t seem to catch a break. April Showers bring May Flowers… blah blah blah. It seems more like freakin April downpours to me. It’s May this Sunday so I want to see some flowers.) which means half of our staff is graduating and almost every single one of us is going on a trip some where.
As an international bunch, we are more than happy to share our travel stories in “Travel Diaries” and a little bit about the town we have moved to in “My Town.”
Our group is about to shift a little with new writers coming in (they’ve been waiting to finish school first) and all but 3 of the Boston Branch moving far away from Boston (so sad).
Hope you enjoy our new section and possibly get some ideas for trips!
I’m still on my Los Angeles high so I thought I would share a recipe inspired by a taste bud orgasm I had at the Lazy Ox Canteen in Little Tokyo.
ClassyConti and I decided to split four appetizers, one of which was the dashi marinated yellowtail with avocado, hash brown and tonburi. In the words of Charlie Sheen, this dish was a “total bitchin’ rockstar from Mars.” It lit up every part of my mouth. It was scintillating. The yellowtail was perfectly marinated in Continue reading →
Let me just say that I was very, VERY lucky that my parents did not pay a lot of attention to the games I was playing in high school or I would never have gotten my hands on the original Duke Nukem 3D. It’s over the top violence, campy one-liners and badly rendered naked strippers provided an endless source of amusement for high school Ian.
Without further ado here is the new trailer for Duke Nukem Forever:
