I love The Superficial

"because the word "blog" isn't retarded enough for some people"


Bonus points for proper use of the word "assclownery" in a sentence.

Thames Town

Outside of Shanghai there is a suburb modeled after England. Other than repeating the fact that it looks like Disneyland, and is completely deserted, I don't really know what to say. The pictures do the talking:

back-due posts part II: cereal


I am not sure why I said I would post about cereal. Here goes. Once I ate a bowl of Captain Crunch with orange juice instead of milk. I didn't realize until about half way though breakfast. Whatever. It didn't taste too bad.

street food: a classic example


This is dinner on a typical night. Pictured here: 炒饭 (fried rice)

Spandex

Love them, hate them... you can do anything but avoid them. They are spandex, and they are back. Who deserves the blame for resurrecting spandex from their glittery, teased-hair, Like a Virgin grave? (...Liberals? Soccer moms?) Unclear at this time.

Regardless of the culprits, Spandex crimes persist. Protect yourself with these simple steps:

1). Spandex with Uggs... just say no.
2.) Ditto with North Face jackets. Unacceptable anywhere other than the gym.
3.) With flashy tops. Spandex + flashy = trashy. You don't live on Statan Island. Avoid dressing as such.
4.) Spandex under skirts. I know, it's New England, your business gets chilly. But think about it this way. Remember "mall bangs?" History judged the teens of the 90's, and it will judge us too.

That being said, I love spandex. If skillfully incorporated, they can be a tasteful addition to any wardrobe. Wear with long sweaters. Wear with shirt dresses. Wear to the gym.

(**But, apparently, do not wear in China. Chinese women are tiny. Like, really tiny. I will sport spans in Boston any day of the week, but these Chinese make my size 4 self feel like Kirstie Allie. Note to self...)


(My favorite Kim Kardashian, seen here sporting the latest model of spans)

busy week

This week I:

Met with coordinator for my internship with italki.com
Kicked off planning phase for an April event at the Shelter
Cut my face on a beer can
Had my first bacon, egg, and cheese
Did other stuff I can't remember
Did not write on this blog

Nothing much to report.
