OMFG I made it here in one piece! My plane for the first leg of the flight was insanely luxurious, and I wonder if I got stuck in 1st class by mistake or if all long internat'l flights are like that. The food was near-gourmet, and I managed to swipe some white wine though I was kind of nauseous and couldn't enjoy it. It's so hot and muggy here you ( Read more... )

Actually, it was a completely brilliantastic movie, but seriously, why all the barf!? WHY.

Yaaaaaaahhhh only 5 more days 'til Taiwan, I-I miss my fambly already! And you too! And you, and you, and also you.

RIGHT. So my ultra-white/whitebread, ultra-born-again-evangelical, ultra-Bushite, ultra-pro-life and every other kind of stereotypically right-wing "foster aunt" from Spokane, WA sent me and the rest of her email list this:

Celebrity To-Do List:

So, a recent rash of raptor rampages notwithstanding, there's nothing that can possibly delay my flight to Tai-juana any more, durrr ( Read more... )

Also, China's govt. is kind of tasteless, planting a mammoth statue of Chairman Mao a mere stone's throw from the capital of Tibet. Or anywhere, for that matter. The man was a crooked hypocrite and apparently outright despised commoners, and was a star while his starving people were literally resorting to cannibalism in some instances. Booooo.

Alas, I'm insanely glum that I'll probably be out of the States when Superman Returns* comes out. Feh. It'd probably have been horrible anyway. I can't stand that Kate Bosworth is Lois, and they messed with the classic suit, and after all, I ( Read more... )

Holy geez: Britney Spears' baby fell on its damn head. Serious. He allegedly fractured his skull and the doctors she took him to called child services on her and everything! Hokay yes, we knew she and K-Fug were useless hillbilly trash before, but SHIT ( Read more... )

Oh man, so all it takes is bad and terrible amounts of sleep-deprivation to make people sociable ! I've been up all night in a study room banging out this sexy but confounding sociology paper, and have been chatted up by three or so strangers [including this one superfox :D ] in the last few hours, at 3, 4:22, and 4:36am [I know it because the ( Read more... )
