Couldn’t say it better myself

This is the best album cover. Ever.
I saw it at Amoeba and wanted to take a picture and tweet it but then decided that finding a better one online was worth the wait. I couldn’t have found a better blog post to describe it.

Rediscovering the Bibliothek

My love for ze public library has been renewed today. But let me start from the beginning and tell you why I needed to go to the library.
My friends back home and I have formed a book club called the Twenty Somethings and Unemployed (TS&UE) Book Club. We meet once a month to discuss a [...]

Internetless

I realized I really don’t do a whole lot online but it’s one of those things that is nice to have, especially when someone tells you to check something out and you say you will and then you realize you can’t. Then said person thinks you’re a pathological liar and never makes another suggestion to [...]

der aufruf des herzens

This song has always been a fave of mine. If you aren’t willing to click the link, it’s Aaron Kwok’s “Love’s Call (ai de hu huan)” Such nice lyrics, very lovely story. What’s weird is the disparity between the connotations of the lyrics of the Mandarin version and the Cantonese version. I didn’t realize they [...]

Heart!

This song popped up recently on crappy radio and I like it! I’ve always liked the original but (almost) everything is always cooler acoustic!
It’s been tough times as the school year is coming to an end (and it’ll get even worse due to finals), but I’m just really glad I have wonderful people in my [...]

What if…

So, I came across this article today and I couldn’t help but get to thinking that the TV show Lost could very well be coming true. I’m not saying this is entertaining in any way, but it is a little more optimistic than what people are saying, don’t you think? Maybe I should write a [...]

Aminals and Erf Day

By the way, I saw DisneyNature’s Earth last Wednesday in celebration of Earth Day! It was great! But there was a lot of sadness behind it too. That’s just how the world works, I guess. They tried to make it happy again but the sadness kind of just resonated within me. I really wish animals [...]

Feeling touristy

Blankey recently changed schedules so rather than getting off work at 7, he gets off at 6. It’s strange what a difference an hour makes. Last Wednesday, we already finished dinner by the time we would normally start so we were trying to figure out what to do with the rest of our night. He [...]

Better in Time

It’s rare that I really like any pop music that is on the radio post-’NSync, but Leona Lewis, I like. My ears always perk up a little when I hear “Better in Time” on the radio at work. Unlike most, I can listen to the same song over and over and over again and not [...]

Xin tiao

I love the first single off Leehom’s new album, Heart.Beat!! I haven’t had a chance to finish listening to it yet, but he is so wonderfulll.
Here’s the video with English subtitles. They are a little hard to see but it’s a good vid.
