Doofy excitement after writing 4 papers and taking 2 exams this week. Super overdue for a haircut but I’ve just decided to wait a little longer and lop off 10” for cancer patients after finals. Woo!

Chang Chen talks about great actors being weirdos and Tony Leung’s dedication to his craft.

After this clip alone, I’m thoroughly convinced that YouTube and a few classes from Santa Monica college next year are going to help me become fully literate in Mandarin and Cantonese. (on a random side note: why the hell do all Chinese programs feel the need to use annoying ass random sound effects?! alkfjalf!)

LOVE YOU FOR THIS. FOR EVER & EVER & EVER.

I cover Linkin Park on the ukulele.

Not gonna lie - this one was easy because I’ve had the lyrics memorized for a decade.

This girl. Crazy gorgeous in an untraditional way with a background in biochemistry and entrepreneurial spirit. Nerds are awesome to begin with, but nerds with bodies to die for and a style I’d undoubtedly emulate (if I had the same body) just take the cake. Not to mention- she’s also Canadian. Can you say: biggest girl crush of all time??!

A Musical Happening In A Most Unusual Place.

Neil and I happened to be in Hawaii for a brief stint when this was all going down. He had a few friends working with ‘Ye at the time and while I desperately wanted to recommend “dropping in” and saying hi, I had a feeling no one would take fondly to that idea. No one ever takes fondly to my ideas. Haha.

Jayne’s really outdone herself this time. Perfect Dries coat and the best ombre styled hair I’ve ever seen on an Asian. Making me seriously consider donating my hair again and going with the Victoria Beckham bob I’ve been too pansy to commit to the last two years.

I haven’t updated threesixtwo in eons and can’t seem to formula a well-written analytical paper to save my life. It could be blamed on Senioritis, but there’s actually nothing I’d rather do than finish the semester off as strong as I started. My only solace has come from Martha Stewart’s “Cookie of the Day” which has provided ample distraction and some delicious snacks in the process. Hoping to whip up some chocolate chip oatmeal raisin cookies, chocolate pistachio biscotti & chocolate-ginger cookies before I’m back in LA on Tuesday… to join chocoholics anonymous.

A country home in Switzerland, or better yet just outside of Lyons. Perfect access to the alps for snowboarding, Paris for shopping and Monaco for beach vacations. One day. In the process, I’m finally learning the patience that comes with saving money painstakingly slowly. Oy.
