HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! if you get that, there's not much more that needs to be said.  if not, i suppose some explanation is in order.  Razor Ramon Hard Gay HG (or Hard Gay for short) is a fictional character on a Japanese variety show.  He is a flamboyantly gay x-pole dancer/wrestler who goes around and does good things for the public.  if you don't believe me, check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Us2lBEb9z0k

my other personal favorite Hard Gay short is the cupid one.  if you've never seen it, you should.  it's hilarious and really sweet.


i like building things with my own two hands.  and a pair of tweezers for the really small parts :)  i've only made one, but he's awesome looking.

this was before i did the removable jet pack thing that attaches to his back.  if you can even imagine it, it looks even COOLER than it does in this picture.  i was going to take this on as my new summer hobby, but the sets are so expensive :(  it's ok. one day when i'm rich, i'll have a million of these guys in a room by themselves.


the first time i watched the series, i think i took for granted how brilliant and clever the series really was.  and the music... oh man, it's amazing.  especially the opening credits by yoko kano.  i don't think i would have ever known about it unless my japanese anime and new media teacher hadn't pointed it out to us last semester.  but the work which becomes a new genre itself will [truly] be called cowboy bebop.


no. 5 -- Yoga.
so Mallory, John Wei and i have been going to Yoga to the People pretty consistently over the summer weeks.  our hope was to go twice a week and honor our bodies.  and the first time that we went together was epic.  and by epic i mean hilarious because mal had to look at john wei's butt for half the time, and my butt for the other half :)  needless to say she enjoyed facing my way more :P  it still dumbfounds me how much i can sweat from moving so slowly, but without fail, after every class i emerge drenched.  but that's ok because i can already feel my body becoming more flexible. like a rubber band.  and i'm not gonna lie, i feel pretty healthy.  but not all of that cone be contributed to yoga because...


no. 6 -- daily multivitamin.
i've been taking a daily multivitamin after being suckered into buying them one delirious afternoon at trader joe's.  besides turning my pee a ridiculous neon yellow color, i *feel* healthier just taking them. yay for a summer of healthy living! :D

no. 7 -- Leopard.
i know i'm joining this bandwagon kinda late, but i really like this new and improved mac platform. :) yay for spaces and neat screen savers!!

no. 8 & 9 -- curly hair & messy hair updos.
i recently got a digital perm thanks to hair club IB, a salon in flushing discovered by Miss Grace Chun. all in one day grace got 6 to 7 inches cut and i went from straight to curly hair!! 3 hours, $180 dollars and a few weeks later, i still really enjoy my curly hair.  i thought i would be bored of it, but not so!  curly hair is one of my new favorite things of the summer.  along with updos' that are easier to do because of the curls.  i've always wanted to have cool updo hair like the new school girl's who always make it look so artsy and messily cool. and i've realized that it's lower maintenance than i originally thought it would be!! digital perms receive my two thumbs up! :)
i also have jumped on the flower headband bandwagon. something about letting your head look like a gigantic flowerpot is so appealing. i guess sarah jessica parker had it right... *shudders*


finally,
no. 10 -- big bang theory.
sheldon is hilarious. 'nuff said.
