So this may look like a normal peanut butter and jelly sandwich, but it’s not. Lisa and I swear. We met up this past weekend to finally bake the amazing Cakewich, which was really just a cake mold shaped like a slice of bread. Armed with my new How To Cook Everything iPhone App and some almond extract, we somehow managed to mix together Mark Bittman’s Golden Layer Cake recipe to slap together this amazing creation.

If I had to pick one television series that shaped my teen adolescence, then I’d pick Sailor Moon or Rugrats but if someone asked me to pick one television series that shaped my teen adolescence in a room full of people, then I’d say Dawson’s Creek. Seriously, though, this was the first TV show that I devotedly watched once a week that dealt with relationship and family problems that I could never relate to because I wasn’t white and I didn’t know any boys.
I’m not saying it was the most original of concepts; it was just the one that I watched obsessively so I could fall asleep and dream about having crushes on fictional boys. Oh man, remember that first season finale when Joey finally confronts her father and Dawson finally kisses her?? I watched it like 3 times on a crappy VHS tape, and my friends and I even screened it again at a sleepover a couple weeks later. And this is the sole reason why I won’t ever let go of my Sarah McLachlan album. Shit, did I just type that aloud?
So if I had known Joshua Jackson was hosting Pacey-Con in San Diego this past weekend, I would have ditched everything and cheered alongside him. What he said is true: Pacey is the greatest character in television history. Ever. Period.

It’s a beautiful Saturday and it’s Comic-Con weekend which means I’m inside, not enjoying it. But this video pretty much made it all okay.

Wait. But how? The legs? But where? And then? What? HOW DOES THIS WORK!?
I could really go for some crab cakes right now.

The Servant is a South Korean film based on an old folktale about the art of seduction. It’s also a really embarrassing movie poster to have on the wall while leaving a restaurant in Koreatown with your parents.
Listen, I get that this movie is about sex. But is it really necessary to have a woman doing the reverse cowgirl while some creepy guy watches behind a tree? Like, couldn’t you just have them holding hands or something?
Actually, it looks like this lady is popping an Asian squat to take a poop, while the guy is like, “Dude, WTF are you doing? I just washed these pants. You’re crazy, bitch.” And the guy in the back is like “I found the best hiding spot in the world. No one can see me.”
Whatever.

B and I enjoyed a lovely all-you-can-eat vegetarian dinner with Joz & Co. until we opened up our fortune cookies. Does anyone know how to say “DO NOT WANT” in Chinese?

Alright, I’m hopping on the Inception bandwagon after seeing the film this weekend but at least I know it’s more than just a bandwagon and more like the we’re-right-and-you’re-an-idiot-if-you-don’t-like-this-movie-wagon. It reminded me of a good book, where all the different angles worked seamlessly together so you were engrossed in the storytelling on all levels. I’m super conscious of the writing, description styles, setting and dialogue in a book: if one aspect is off, then the whole book falls apart for me. On the other hand, if these all come together, I can turn pages without realizing that I’m actually reading something: instead, the story plays out in my head as if I’ve been completely absorbed into it.
The same works for this movie: script, plot, acting, dialogue, set, costumes and special effects. Also, anyone who thinks Avatar is a better movie gets punched in the nuts.
I always enjoy daydreaming about movies, imagining how characters and story lines would adapt if I had been there. Would I be as cool, calm and collected as the characters? How would I react in the same setting? What if Leonardo DiCaprio was hired to visit me in my dreams? Would the result be just as mind-blowing and fantastic?
That’s what I realized that my version of Inception would be the complete opposite. My dreams are pretty lame, whether they consist of either me being back in high school and panicking over getting to the right class in time, being back in college and panicking over moving out of the dorm rooms in time, or being in a mall and panicking that I can’t find a bathroom. I’m not even kidding.
Can you imagine a thriller movie based on one of these?
