realized this last night while reading the sunday book review:
the reason i was such a fan of georgina on britain's next top model was probably because she is a dead ringer for zadie smith. too bad she already got booted...

NB: I've added new pics to this post the past two posts before this - check em out
JANE FONDA'S DOG LICKED MY LEG AND I LIKED IT
while i may (and do) bitch about work, i am always impressed by the guests who come to speak here. monday i saw times conservative columnist david brooks; today it was first wave feminist power duo gloria ('g-lo?') steinem and jane fonda. and it was PACKED. i had to watch the CCTV broadcast in another room downstairs. popped into the bathroom before the show and almost stepped on a cute little dog sans leash. what the hell, i thought - these güglers and their sense of entitlement! the nerve, bringing a dog into the BATHROOM - was it not ok to leave the dog at ones desk for three minutes? but the dog was well-behaved, standing silently and faithfully outside its owner's stall, and whenever it would peek under the stall, the owner cooed at it, 'hello, baby! hello!'
sick, thought i. SICK.
i came out and while i was washing my hands, i felt something lick my calf. i looked down and saw the offender. grey is in this season, i thought, and i have been looking for a nice little stole. CATCH THOSE PUPPIES!
NB: this image also came up when i searched 'cruella de ville' -
sad, but not untrue
later during the talk, schmidtty (who is increasingly reminding me of a cross between the doozers on fraggle rock and beaker from the muppets
+
=
?)
mentions how jane fonda (who was looking a little robert evans for the wear - look how hot she used to be!) has brought her little dog tulea with her on stage. and, like a true diva, she brought the dog along even though she was not even aware of our dog friendly campus. also apparently she brings the dog EVERYWHERE - santa barbara, san francisco, atlanta, palm beach, FL; lexington, KY.
anyways, the talk was very first wave - equality for women in politics, workplace, home. blah blah blah. the only time they mention women of color is when they talk about women in 'the global south' (how chic) - what about the women of color in your own country? plus they always talk about how this generation lacks the anger of their generation, and that always makes me SO. MAD. it didn't make things any better that there were no young feminsts there to refute that opinion - in fact at least one young woman came to the mic who admitted to being detached from feminism (i think one was crying because her mom had been so much more passionate about feminism than she was) and went on to speak as if that was the status quo among young women.
far from it, my friend.
here are some pics:

i KNEW this piece was going to be in gawker's 'great moments in journalism' when i read it yesterday - also, it's true, chinese people DON'T DIE....which is why i say: 'bring it on survivor! let's DO this already! we been here 4700 years baby, we aint goin nowhere!!!'
like cockroaches.

MAKING OUT IS IN FOR FALL
just another typical night at the elbo room, in our usual corner (the one with the video game machine tables) - but alas, what is this?
three different couples making out like crazy! and that was just in our little corner. including one asian guy who was certainly NOT cute enough to get that much tongue action or STRADDLED (ignore earlier post about asian guys deserving more ass). these three brazen couples seemed totally unawares of our group of ten people staring and pointing at them in disgust. WHEN DID IT BECOME OK TO MAKE OUT AT THE ELBO ROOM?!??!
***PHOTOS HERE (the couple behind us didn't come out though...)
--
what a gorgeous weekend. every weekend, i say 'this is probably the last nice weekend of this year,' but this time i really mean it. how many 75 degree days does sf have left in it? not many. time to shake out the sweaters...or steal steve's as the case may be. i'm all about boyfriend clothes for fall.
speaking of, i've been looking for a caramel colored slouchy leather bag for fall, and every time i come across something labeled a 'hobo bag,' i think of steve, who saw one named such a few weeks ago and said, 'that's not nice.' ahh, yes, standing up for homeless everywhere against the brutes of fashion!
--
so out with biff the other night, and i pointed out a white guy who i thought was cute. i asked biff (who is white-ish) whether i had bad taste in white men. she said she thought he was gay, but also that he looked asian-ish. WHAT? how can a white man look asian? she says that she thinks asian men have 'finer features' than white men. i said that's probably cuz they don't grow facial hair. interesting, i have never heard a white woman's opinions of asian men - steve wants me to find out more so he can post tips on the internet.
--
also, don't worry, drunken wedding pics of me are forthcoming - i got a preview last night, sheesh

LIFE LESSONS LEARNED BY WATCHING FIVE SEASONS OF AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL
you would be surprised at how often situations on antm mirror real life.
a running list:
1) don't mess with someone's energy drinks in the fridge. in brie's immortal words, 'don't touch my food.' (fixed the link - thanks, chai - didn't think anyone would actually click that)
and if you have to drink them, bitch betta REPLACE THOSE!
2) this is NOT america's next top best friend.
3) I know I'm a threat. I'm a strong-ass woman. I'm a souljah sister. Recognize.
4) don't stay out late if you have to get up early the next day. (ok, that was austin scarlett project runway season 1, but someone on antm must have said it once)
5) who's you're biggest competition in the house?
to be continued...(sadly)

Entertainment industry leaders in Seoul credit the phenomenon to good marketing coupled with an uncanny response throughout Asia to the expressive nature of the South Koreans -- long dubbed the Italians of Asia. A hearty diet and two years of forced military duty, industry leaders and fans insist, have also made young South Korean men among the buffest in Asia. Most important, however, has been the South Korean entertainment industry's perfection of the strong, silent type on screen -- typically rich, kind men with coincidentally striking looks and a tendency to shower women with unconditional love.
"It's a type of character that doesn't exist much in Asian movies and television, and now it's what Asian women think Korean men are like," said Kim Ok Hyun, director of Star M, a major star management company in Seoul.
"But to tell you the truth," she said. "I still haven't met a real one who fits that description."

WHY WON'T I LEARN??
ugh so i had a horrible upset stomach yesterday after breakfast, and i suspected the 'farmer's hash,' which is a super delish mix of sausage, onions, ham, and potatoes topped with a poached egg and cilantro.
yet. YET -
i ate it again today. now i have a horrible upset stomach that is lasting way longer than yesterday. it's lunchtime, but the thought of food is making me gag, especially since i tried on my bridesmaid's dress last night too. i want to work out after lunch (if i ever eat any of it), but i always feel sick when i do that, too.
why, god, why? why is life so hard??
--
fave quote from steve last weekend, looking at a nordstrom rack mailer: 'you want me to buy you an $18 roxy hoody?'
--
in world news - has everyone see tomkat's HAPA CHILD???
--
in state and local news - everytime i hang out with rj, i find out way more than i want to know. like robert redford sez: too many secrets!!!!
--
in national news - sometimes i feel like i am the only one dating an asian guy. this makes me sad-ish. sure, i am the first person to acknowledge they have their faults, but no need to write off the entire race as a whole. especially if you have never even dated an asian guy before! everyone should be judged on their own merits, not according to stereotypes or preconceptions. also, contrary to popular belief, it's really not that difficult to meet cool, smart, not short asian dudes, if that's what you're looking for. beefy ones are more challenging, but the fuck - three out of four aren't bad. sense of humor? now you're just being too picky.
dear asian guys - the bad apples (losers, nerds, dickheads, egomaniacs, chauvinists, pervs) are ruining your pussy bunch. HAHAHA.
