If you’re wondering what that monster is, it’s my androgynous mackerel tabby, Mugen. Occasionally I suspect he’s plotting something against me because I will wake up to find him glaring at me with that very expression from his corner of the bed. Mimi: Why are you looking at me like that? Mugen: Mimi: Are you hungry, is that it? Mugen: Mimi: Don’t tell me you’re not happy living here? Mugen: [...]
After 18 years, Hey! Hey! Hey! Music Champ has finally come to an end. I used to catch the episodes airing on the International channel as a teenager, and watched religiously until about a year ago. After that, I’d catch episodes uploaded here and there, but could never really find time to watch them all. Just the other day, I figured I’d catch up since I had a day off [...]
Just two weeks after my break-up, my younger brother’s best friend shamelessly asked me out to see Skyfall. (I say “shamelessly” but I know by the parched throat and lurching heartbeat that I must have been anticipating this all along. Probably as far back as our camping trip in August when he sneaked across the entire campsite in super-duper stealth mode to launch a water grenade at my feet.) My [...]
We’ve started this year off to a pretty good start, and it looks like we’ll be making headway with a lot of projects in the upcoming months. As an added bonus, we’d like you to know where we stand on our current and upcoming projects. 3 AM Dangerous Zone (Nemu Yoko): To think that a pair of hairy, male buttocks (Takki’s to be exact) lured me into buying this series. [...]
Yes, I’m alone on Valentines, re-watching episodes of Bu Bu Jing Xin on my laptop and sobbing uncontrollably as Rouxi (the demure Liu Shi shi) hugs 4th Prince/Emperor Yongzhen (the sexy Nicky Wu) for perhaps the last time, finally admitting to him that she is not Rouxi but a modern woman from the future, Zhang Xiao. All the sniffling has caught the attention of my father’s equally deranged sister, who [...]
If you’re wondering what has become of the 21-year-old male Taiwanese administrative assistant sent down by our HR department, well he’s a tricky one. First few days in he raided my fridge, soured my bathroom-attack-vengeance plot by buying me desserts from Porto, and has now finally managed to corner me into submission. 6 PM, Tuesday evening, balcony. Enter Mimi, munching a sandwich, when the balcony door swings vehemently open. The [...]
Yesterday I dropped my cell in the company toilet. I was wearing those stupid tight-as-heck benggirl high-waist jeans and bent over to pick something up in the bathroom stall, and it slid out of my back pocket and nose-dived into the toilet bowl with a resounding plop. I’m just glad I didn’t already do what I had gone in there to do, because without even thinking, I shoved my hand [...]
I’m not going to burden everyone with my worries, so here is the post I prepared a month and a half ago. Just know that we are back, and I sorely missed everyone. For two nights in succession I’ve been harrassed in my deep slumber by visions of my mother berating me like a dog in front of other family members who didn’t seem to notice of take pity on [...]
We will be back to release on the first week of October. Until then, just imagine we have all gone fishing in hopes of catching halibut, some nice fat trout, or a mako shark.
The Re-return of Bitou Lollipop I wish I had something clever to say, but this ridiculous heat wave has zapped all the energy out of me. It doesn’t help that we can’t afford an AC at home, and I have resorted to sticking my head in the freezer and chewing on ice while fanning myself at humming bird speed to cool myself down. I keep telling myself over and over [...]
