The awards are out and the waiting is over! Here are my (albeit, first) top livejournal picks for 2008!

Most inspirational blog: BeckyBecky's one of my few friends who has a lot of obstacles in her way, and her decision to share three happy things in her day, every day (and back-logging missed days) for months, was both practical, brave and a ( Read more... )

I am extremely hungry.

And I only have a stick of butter.

With every passing minute, that butter is looking more and more appetizing...

Auditorium is some good clean musical puzzle fun. I was kinda engrossed in it this morning and had to remind myself to stop playing. Games like this always remind me of that episode from Star Trek where people play a game on their headsets with balls swallowing other balls and then everyone gets brainwashed and only Ensign Crusher can save them ( Read more... )

I'm totally getting into Les Mis. I started listening to all of the songs from the 10th Anniversary performances on YouTube and now I'm addicted. At first I was like, "oh, that song is nice...very stirring." And I was reading all of these comments from people saying "OMG, I totally cried, this song is soooooooo sad" ad infinitum until one person ( Read more... )

I am sooooooo tired. I skipped dance class last week, but totally made up for it by dancing the heck out my body last night. Charleston is a BITCH, especially at fast speeds.

And it's with some amazement and hilarity that I hear that PETA has come out with a non-official, pc-based version of Cooking Mama ( Read more... )

S and I visited my grandparents for dinner on Saturday along with my parents and siblings, and my GG went all out: turkey/pork meatballs in squash, filet mignon sliced over asparagus and greens, mini pork spareribs in fun-yu (fermented tofu...I know it sounds gross, but this stuff is da BOMB), shrimp and beef stir-fry, funsee with scrambled egg and ( Read more... )

Oh, the wonderful places there are to go and eat. Perhaps my contribution to a failing economy will be to eat out more often ( Read more... )

ZOMG - Hilarity ensues. A series of Fanta commercials in Japan (subtitled for your English-speaking convenience). =D I laughed my ASS off. Favorite one? Ms. Soap Opera who drop kicks her haiku book. ROTFLMAO!
