New Stereotype???

I've noticed that a lot of Asian people will take pictures of their food at restaurants before they eat it ... then post it on facebook ... Why are they doing this? Better question: why have I not been doing this??? I wanna fit in!!!

Sesame Street 2.0

Universal Studio's announced yesterday that employees would be going through "Relocation Parking" this weekend. The reason for this is that they are expecting "high parking attendance". When I got to Bubba's, I asked what was going on and I was told that The Wiggles were doing a concert at Universal this weekend. Okay ... what the who is a wiggle?!? So I guess they're an Australian band that performs songs/shows that help educate pre-school children - I didn't really read too much of the website because I don't really care that much, but I think my visual senses have been offended by all the bright colors on their site. Guess I didn't realize exactly how much visual stimulation a pre-schooler needs ...

Also, has anyone been watching Sesame Street lately??? There is a blue monster that speaks with a Hispanic accent. WHO IS THAT?!?! And what's up with Cookie Monster??? He doesn't eat cookies anymore!!! He now eats fruits and vegetables.

"Cookies are a sometime snack!" - Cookie Monster

NO!!! NO THEY'RE NOT! A COOKIE MONSTER IS SUPPOSED TO EAT COOKIES!!!!

I call shenanigans!!!! Who turned Cookie Monster into a health nut?!?!? SHENANIGANS!!!!!

*mutters* stupid people totally deleting characteristics of my childhood ...

Wedding Adventure

"You've become a pretty girl. Don't be like your Aunt Judy and marry an ugly man like your Uncle Danny." - Mom, "Mom-ism" #1538

My Aunt Judy was apparently a very pretty girl when she was younger. So, um, thanks for the compliment, Mom?

My parents say the quirkiest things. Dad gives me back-handed compliments and Mom just says things that come from left field.

We went to a wedding. One of my mom's friend's daughter was getting married. I actually grew up with the bride. However, being that a bride is always crazy busy during her own wedding, I didn't manage to get a picture with her.

But I did manage to get a picture with the Maid of Honor, whom I also grew up with:

This is Rainbow. Yes, I actually know someone named Rainbow. And no, she's not a hippie (although her parents might have been) and she's really cool! So stop judging her name!!!

For those who have been listening to me vent/helping me with the ordeal of finding the right dress for this wedding, I hope these two pictures pacify all curiosity! Although I do find it ironic that during this frustrating quest to find that damn dress, I had asked my mother if it was alright if I got a white dress. My mom had said no because a) it would distract from the bride and b) white was the funeral color for the Chinese. And the color she's wearing is ... *shrugs* C'est la vie, no?

Anyone Got Any Ideas For Me?

What's the best way to choose a doctor??? I've already looked into doctors who accept my health insurance and which ones are accepting new patients. I'm currently looking for a dermatologist because I have two moles on my right arm that I'm starting to get concerned about. I have a history with suspicious moles since I was a kid. Most people who have seen me in a bathing suit or during occasions where I have had on little clothing (which is a reference to theater school ... that's my story and I'm sticking to it!!!) know that I have two significant scars on my body. I have one on my back and one on my thigh. These scars are from a surgery I had at the age of 7 to remove two suspicious moles which both turned out to be benign. I've found three dermatologists who work in the same office and are located within the vicinity of Huntington Memorial Hospital located in Pasadena. So which one do I choose? How do I do this??? My mom chose my dermatologist the last time and he left me with really ugly scars. If my moles need to be removed, I'd prefer not to have such drastic scars. Yeah yeah ... it's my vanity vs. my common sense. Eesh!

Random Conversations

I was having a conversation with one of my friends from work and it went like this:

Me: I wonder how cops on bicycles pull people over ...

Mahon: The first time I got pulled over was by a cop on a horse.

Me: So you were in a car and he was on a horse?!?

Mahon: Yeah.

Apparently it's the kind of thing that tends to happen in Ohio ...

Happy July 4th!

And I'm proud to be an American ...
