Funny You Should Ask That-UM-heylookoverthere!

NJPIRG, Student Animation League at NYU, AALDEF-Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund, and I'll join anything for a better 2008.(heck, 2005 while we're at it, looks like we need it)

drawing, people watching, vintage granny jewelry, sugarless candy, wind up toys, tea sets, silk scarves, mythology, pop culture n' political theater (east and west), artifacts and fossils, gallivanting, working on my personal website and animation projects, Fave Team Sports: Eating and Watching Movies, Technology meeting Art and Spawning New Weird Babies to Play With, Virtual Arcade Taeko Drumming, Finding Cool Rides, "Dancing" like a retard, taking pics of weirdness and friends and slapping them online!

I like David Sedaris because I can appreciate how he'd think Anne Frank's attic could make a good apartment. I love Haruki Murakami because I feel like I can be one of his characters sometimes (we share a fondness for noodles). Malcolm Gladwell has been making me think a LOT about how we "tic" as people. Life of Pi and Battle Royale made my heart rip in bits as I read, as did The Rape of Nanking. And I'm currently in the middle of The Know-it-All: One Man's Humble Quest to be the Smartest Person in the World by A.J. Jacobs about his mission to read the complete set of Encyclopedia Brittanica and it's FREAKIN' HILARIOUS and highly relatable-cuz I'm always plagued by the notion that dammit, I wish I was smarter.

Annie Hall, Amelie, Rushmore, Royal Tenenbaums, Run Lola Run, The Big Lebowski, The Three Amigos, Edward Scissorhands, Elizabeth, Chungking Express, Battle Royale, The Princess Bride, Lost in Translation, Soapdish, Kill Bill, Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, The 40 Year Old Virgin and any movie that ends in a good party/dance number. If only real life was more like that. Ya???!!!

Bjork, Dandy Warhols, Interpol, Air, Blondie, Duran Duran, Blur, Cornelius, Beck, Black Eyed Peas, pre-pedo/nuts/albino Michael Jackson, Madonna, The Postal Service, The Shins, Goodbye Girl Friday, Kaiser Chiefs, and psycho awesome Bollywood ditties

Daria, The Simpsons, Frasier, Newsradio, Kids in the Hall, The Daily Show, The Dave Chappelle Show, Conan, The Wonder Years, Batman Animated Series, 21 Jump Street (Depp years only, Grieco's just gross)..and I am currently OBSESSED with Lost right now. ECKO RULES! Project Runway, which has given me my new favorite catchphrase EVER...PAT-TERN BOOOOKS!!!!!!

Came back from over 2 years living/traveling in Asia.
I feel like a displaced time traveler or a reanimated coma victim. "RRRAWR! SHE'S ALIIIIVE!"

Happy to be back. ;-)

My blog: Hiding in Asia

And the pictures I like to draw.

Like minded but not a clone army. People who can take care of their own problems.
Otherwise, yea, get an analyst...Or at least pay me back in coffee or pizza as I sit and listen. Heeee.
