what’s the male version of a camel toe? i bought two pairs of khakis from GAP using WY’s employee discount and they looked amazing in the store. when i actually wore them in broad daylight to my temp gig a couple of months ago, i started noticing a frontwards wedgie which has now become more pronounced since i washed them two days ago. BOOO!!! OH UNIQLO! you are the ONLY store that does right by me!
as i type this, NI and AL are probably circling the blue skies above san francisco prepping to land. did you see how to train a dragon? i want to ride a dragon through clouds and emerge all dewey and viking-ey and shit.
at the risk of turning my blog into a movie review site, i just needed to comment on gran torino, which was my netflix-of-the-night. is it a thinly-veiled excuse for clint eastwood to spew out a bunch of deragotory terms towards asians or actually just a shitty commentary on racial prejudice and our ability to transcend preconceptions? i’m not exactly sure, but all i know is the acting sucked. i can’t believe he got nominated to grumble and clench his teeth for 2 hours.
and while i fully support casting unknown/non-actors for movies, i don’t support casting unknown/non-actors who can’t act. actually, i’m kind of sick of watching crappy films with or about asians. get it together! while i will always have a soft-spot for joy luck club, i can barely remember a film about asian americans that i actually loved. why can’t we have more films like yi yi? is it really that hard to write a 3-dimensional, asian american character where his/her race isn’t at the forefront, but just one trait of the character?
i guess that’s my job.
