The Books of 2011 – 40 Books in 365 Days

December 21, 2011 in books, Thoughts by Moye | 2 comments

I can’t believe we’re wrapping up 2011. It’s been an eventful year but just because stuff happened doesn’t mean I dropped the ball when it came to my annual reading goal. This year, though, I was [un]lucky to have my first semester reading list, which meant taking on 20 “serious” books for writing, which meant almost a book a week between June through November, which meant that the quality of books I read went way up and that I’m surprised my eyesight hasn’t gotten bad from all the page turning.

Somehow I managed to still read 40 books (and hopefully one more: Cold Comfort Farm which I’m reading right now) over the past year. I’m proud because I honestly thought I wouldn’t make it and that I’d have to disembowel myself for dishonoring the family. Or something like that.

Two Nightmares In One!

December 13, 2011 in nerdalert, Thoughts by Moye | 2 comments

This is like two horrible nightmares in a single picture: bananas (which everyone knows I hate) and the alien from Alien. I hate the alien from Alien. Somehow I watched this movie when I was really small and was completely traumatized by every single scene. Even just looking at H.R. Giger books, which my dad had plenty of, made me scared. I hate you, alien from Alien. And I still hate you, banana.

Sabrina The Teenage Witch Returns

Sabrina & Salem: Together Again from Melissa Joan Hart

Here’s a sign that you’re getting old: you begin to enjoy everything you used to hate when you were younger. For example, I used to think salt and vinegar chips but now I think they’re amazing. I used to hate Pearl Jam and now I kinda dig their songs. And I used to hate Melissa Joan Hart but now I kind of giggled at this video. What is wrong with me!?

Oh yeah, I’m old.

Catching Up On 2011: 311′s Greatest Hits

December 6, 2011 in Thoughts by Moye | 1 comment

The best thing about Spotify is that I can make the most embarrassing playlist of the most embarrassing music from my most embarrassing past and no one will know (unless you look at my last.fm account which I won’t share here). This also means I listen to some 311, which made me notice this album cover from their Greatest Hits album which listed the very important decade of 1993 to 2003.

Really, 311? Did you put out this album in the anticipation that you guys would be putting out another greatest hits compilation past 2003? Let’s be real. You guys haven’t had a hit song since…well…2003? There’s really no need to signify the time period. We all know. You were big in the late 90′s and early 2000′s. It’s already assumed when you hear and read the numbers 3, 1 and 1. But it’s okay. Cause amber is the color of my energy right now.

Catching Up On 2011: WTF ETSY

December 3, 2011 in Fashion, food, omg, Thoughts by Moye | No comments

Okay, I know I haven’t blogged in a while. I also hate it when people say that. Like, really, who cares. But I made a conscious effort to avoid writing here because I had to focus on homework and my plan was to start once the semester was over and before the next one started. But then since focusing on homework also meant avoiding all video games, I had to catch up on that. And then I had the worst Thanksgiving ever (including two ER visits) which really didn’t put me in the mood to write. And then other stuff. But now I’m back.

And since I have so much to catch up on, I’m going to procrastinate and talk about this WTF crap I found on Etsy. It’s Christmas shopping season which means I like to scour Etsy for all the things that I want which also means I search for random things like “chicken” which leads me to stuff like this.

25 Ways To Wear A Scarf I Don’t Own

November 14, 2011 in Fashion, Thoughts by Moye | No comments

If you know me, then you know I love to wear scarves. Unfortunately, I mostly only have knit scarves but one day I dream about owning a big, soft, cotton scarf and wearing it 25 different ways like this hot little lady here. Why is this girl so pretty? I wish I looked like her.

Anyway…I KNOW, RIGHT? A new blog post? I’ve been meaning to write here more often but schoolwork has been kicking my very flat butt so I made the executive decision of not allowing myself to write here until I finished writing there. This decision also included playing any sort of game, which means I have Uncharted 3 Waiting for me.

Alas, I have to wait one more week. I turned my fifth homework packet in yesterday and now I have to prep materials for next semester which means I won’t be free to really write here and play games there until Thanksgiving. UGGGHH. IS IT NEXT WEEK YET?

On the plus side, I finally finished reading 20 books for the semester. Are you proud?

A Typical Wednesday Evening

In case you ever wondered what my night life was like, it’s something like this.

INT. KITCHEN – NIGHT

Moye and Brandon are washing the dishes after dinner.

BRANDON

What are you going to do now?

MOYE

Homework. What about you?

BRANDON

I guess I’ll watch Human Centipede 2.

Moye looks towards camera and raises her arms with a “What can I do?” face. AUDIENCE GROANS.

Our House Is Famous!

October 4, 2011 in Celebrity, Thoughts by Moye | 2 comments

I was really excited this past weekend because we’re big fans of Henry’s Kitchen and I recognized Henry himself outside of our house and almost peed my pants when it turned out he was filming his next episode RIGHT NEXT DOOR. Look! It’s our wall! It’s our bathroom window! It’s our roof! Our house is officially a YouTube celebrity. Read the rest of this entry »

Forever 21 + Hello Kitty = Dilemma

September 30, 2011 in Asians, Fashion, nerdalert, Thoughts by Moye | No comments

OMG YOU GUYS. Forever 21 has partnered up with Sanrio to create an exclusive Hello Kitty apparel line? WHAT? OH MY GOD YOU GUYS. This is major problem.

For one thing, I haven’t bought anything from Forever 21 since like…two years ago. First it was a New Year’s Resolution because I realized that the majority (like 99) of the clothes I was donating to Goodwill was the crappy tops and cardigans that I had bought from F21. They were so cheap that they either shrunk, changed shape, or got holes that I didn’t even care about getting rid of them. And as someone who plans to have a massive wardrobe of beautiful, expensive clothes in the future, this wasn’t working.

After that year, I just stopped shopping at F21. I would walk around and look for stuff, but coming back to their clothes was yucky. Things were either too trendy, too slutty or just too stupid.

And you know what’s even worse? I’M JAPANESE. This means wearing anything Hello Kitty would just be overkill. I might as well wear a rice paddy hat and stop pronouncing my R’s correctly. No, it doesn’t help that I already have a giant Hello Kitty bag and a Hello Kitty iPhone cover. Topping the outfit off with a Hello Kitty cardigan and Hello Kitty blouse would just make the universe implode.

So how am I supposed to enjoy this collection NOW? Life is so hard.
