pieces of grace

I’ll admit it. I’m a straight-up fob. When it’s time for me to look at the camera, my eyes will crinkle up into a slant (though not as slant as Disney Mulan’s eyes, which NO ASIAN has) and I’ll lift up two fingers in the spirit of being fobby. I love Pearl Tea, indulge in strangely exotic and disgusting-sounding foods like pig ears, pig tongue, orange fish, and squid (oh, they are amazing), and will go crazy over the latest Korean soap opera (which I haven’t had any time for lately…but once summer rolls around, Sweet 18 here I come again). I love Jay Chou (only certain songs, of course…his latest album is not worthy of my praise at all), JJ Lin, and other random Chinese songs that my parents discover through Taiwan Idol (which has had 3 seasons over the span of 2 years…Asians don’t seem to understand that “seasons” means you actually take a hiatus of some sort before starting again). Just today, I couldn’t resist singing a JJ Lin song over and over again, which earned me a variety of wary and annoyed glances my way. (Actually, I think that’s pretty normal, so…errr…probably more about me than my fobbiness) Well, my brother will probably disown me for this since he hates fobs, but I actually love being a fob. I embrace fobbiness – particularly when it’s parodied by Russell Peters, UCLA’s Fobman, and, of course, Wong Fu Productions. So all you out there should watch out, because this fob is going to town.

I think that failed pretty sufficiently. Anyhow, APs, up-coming finals, massive loads of homework and projects have weighed my brain down over the past 2 months and have sapped what little creativity I had out of me. Not to mention the fact that it’s 12:50 AM, and it feels like summer.

So here is my planned summer movie list:

1. Forgetting Sarah Marshall

2. Made of Honor

3. Prince Caspian

4. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

5. Incredible Hulk

6. Baby Mama

7. DARK KNIGHT

I saved the best for last.
