Sooperbad

I think maybe Evan in Superbad would be my ideal guy. Well, when he grows up. I mean a grown-up Evan but with Evan sensibilities. You get the picture.

Ch-ch-ch-changes

In the last two weeks, I have:

1. broken up with my boyfriend,

2. conquered the GMAT,

3. and failed my road test for the second time.

I have felt:
1. elated
2. miserable
3. nervous
4. excited
5. disappointed
6. grateful

and maybe everything in between.

Today after the aforementioned unsuccessful road test, I went home, took a shower, went to my favorite Vietnamese restaurant, had some Tsingtao, and watched 2 days in Paris.

It's about a couple who have been together for two years. They go on a vacation to Italy and on the way back to New York spend two days in Paris. Arguing. I actually really liked it. I adore both Adam Goldberg and Julie Delpy, and the dialogue was funny and real.

Right now, I am going to catch up on The Office Season 3, just in time for Season 4's premiere tomorrow, and maybe enjoy a piaya or two.

Carnival came by my town today.

Eloquence

from T.S. Eliot, my favorite poet next to Drey.

HYSTERIA


AS she laughed I was aware of becoming involved
in her laughter and being part of it, until her
teeth were only accidental stars with a talent
for squad-drill. I was drawn in by short gasps,
inhaled at each momentary recovery, lost finally
in the dark caverns of her throat, bruised by
the ripple of unseen muscles. An elderly waiter
with trembling hands was hurriedly spreading
a pink and white checked cloth over the rusty
green iron table, saying: "If the lady and
gentleman wish to take their tea in the garden,
if the lady and gentleman wish to take their
tea in the garden ..." I decided that if the
shaking of her breasts could be stopped, some of
the fragments of the afternoon might be collected,
and I concentrated my attention with careful
subtlety to this end.

Man in the Mirror

If I don't pass the GMAT, I'm buying an electric guitar and learning this.

for Sarah

Gaydar
- the intuitive ability to determine whether another person is gay or bisexual
- Whether anyone actually has such an ability is a debated question, especially in Western (or Asian) culture
- relies on indirect senses and intuitions rather than direct questions or fact-finding
- also relies on sensitivity to certain mannerisms: anything from flamboyant or overt rejection of traditional gender roles (including occupation, grooming habits, and so on) to more subtle clues, like one's style preferences or other personal tastes or habits
-A study published in 1999 showed that homosexuals are better at correctly identifying sexual orientation than heterosexuals from silent videos and photographs
