For some reason, everyone is super stoked about Christopher Nolan’s new movie, Inception. I think it looks interesting, Joseph Gordon Levitt is really cute and the score they use in trailer should be my new ringtone. On the other hand, I still don’t really understand what it’s about and it looks like they float around in rooms a lot or something.
So yeah. This is probably the best movie trailer mash-up video I’ve ever seen. I’ve got nothing else.

There’s a Nike store near the apartment in Tokyo, and I only noticed it because they had a giant rubber model of the Nike Free Run sole hanging from the ceiling to display it’s bendable qualities. I never gave it much thought (except OMG GIANT SNEAKER!!!) until I came across this video of Japanese breakbeat duo Hifana hooking up audio sensors to the shoes and creating this awesome music video.
Speaking of running, this was my first time in Japan that I noticed so many runners around Tokyo. The Kaigakan track was across the street from our hotel, which I thought was a feature that most cities should provide–can you imagine a sidewalk designed to be a running track for the public to use??–and almost hourly were groups of runners, making their laps around the circle. Japanese runners go all out, too. We didn’t see regular people dressed in messy shorts and old t-shirts trying to exercise those love handles off. They were decked out in lycra pants, water bottles and even backpacks. Backpacks. If I had to run with a backpack, I’d make sure it was stuffed with tissues I could use as I sobbed my way around. Sometimes we’d even see the same runners twice during our walks around, because that’s how slow we were. They’d run a quarter of a mile in the same span that we’d walk a block. Insane.
I’m going to go eat some Cheetos now.

I have this gut feeling that I use the word “hate” too much for a multitude of reasons. For one thing, there’s no better way to express your frustration, disgust, anger and disapproval than with one single word. Hate. And the other thing is that there are so many things to be frustrated, disgusted, angered and disapprove over, so it’s not me that has this problem, it’s the whole entire world.
But then again, wouldn’t such negativity and pessimism be detrimental to my overall health? I think there was a study about that. Also, it would suck to see an amazing word like “hate” be overused to complete meaninglessness like “fail” or (which I’ve now discovered) “epic.”
So I’m really trying not to use the hate word anymore. I mean, really, there’s no point in hating stuff because in the long run, it doesn’t really matter, we’re just tiny dust specks in this universe and when we die, the world keeps turning and no one really cares. I won’t even make the exception and say I hate hate, because that just sounds like I have a stutter. Instead, I will just dislike things, and if that’s not enough to express my distaste, I will not talk about it. I’ll bite my lip, move on or lightly complain without using unnecessary, negative words.
Speaking of which, how awesome is this video? The 0:50 mark is like the best thing ever. Couples sitting side by side alone in a table or a booth is the worst thing. EVER. The only exception is if they’re on a carnival ride, roller coaster, driving in a car, sitting on a bench waiting for the bus or somehow surgically attached. Why do people do it? Do they have to show off their relationship status that much? It’s even worse when they’re at a restaurant, because this means they have to crane their necks to talk to each other throughout the entire meal while making anyone who sits around them supremely uncomfortable because all they see are a pair of people facing them while they try to enjoy their dinner. Does that make sense? This is a dinner table, not seats for a show! Would it hurt to spend the next hour sitting across from each other? I know, it sounds really far because please do this for the sake of humanity (and my sanity). I’d rather see couples hold hands across the table, or even feed each other food than have them sit side by side. I HATE THIS.
So Ernie from 8A informed me that this is old by like 24 hours but whatever, this video is amazing. Well known fact: that’s exactly what I look like when I cry.
Two posts in a row about babies? WHO CARES!

I want to be Freddie Wong’s new best friend. Well, it seems like he has a lot of best friends in his videos, but maybe I can be his new best girl friend. Not girlfriend, because that would be kinda awkward (but he can probably talk me into it) but best girl friend (with the space, which entails that we would be best friends, but like, I’d braid his hair and tell him if his outfit looks okay and other girl stuff like that).
Can someone make this happen? Thanks!!!!

I always forget how much I love this movie. Who are these people that put these viral videos together and how do they find the time? I would like some, please.

I would have enjoyed our Shakespeare readings in high school more if they all incorporated this Sassy Gay Friend character.
Random memory: in 7th grade, we covered Romeo & Juliet and signed up for random passages to read aloud in class. Somehow I ended up with the infamous balcony scene, and some of my classmates were really annoyed, because they had really wanted to perform that part. Like, really? Why? This was an all girls school, mind you. Ugh. Girls are so lame.

No, let’s not talk about how this commercial features Jelly Beans wearing lacy underpants that get pulled off by the mouths of other Jelly Beans, and how this doesn’t relate at all to new cell phones. Or the fact that these Jelly Beans have butts. Or that Jelly Beans are pretty gross to eat.
Let’s talk about how they’re singing it like “Jerry” Beans. This reminds me of that time I made fun of my mom because she asked for a “grazed” donut. She’s my mom and I’m Asian so that means I’m not racist.
