Yakult is, according to Wikipedia, “a Japanese probiotic milk-like product made by fermenting a mixture of skimmed milk with a special strain of the bacterium Lactobacillus casei Shirota.” And I guess its mascot (shown above) is some sort of muppet incarnation of the digestive system.
It’s kind of cute, but at the same time it makes [...]

I love Natalie Portman. I love Mila Kunis. I love Darren Aronofsky. I love ballerinas. I love psycho/stalker girls with lesbian undertones. I love girl on girl action. I love girl fights.I love mysterious scars. I love swans.
That’s some crazy shit right there. I can’t wait.

Boomerang has been on HBO a lot lately — and it keeps on reminding me how brilliant it is. Specifically this scene:

August 16 marked the 52nd birthday of pop icon, Madonna. She is still as relevant as ever — even if she does seem to be eclipsed by some of this wacky glam pop madness we are witnessing. If she wasn’t, I wouldn’t be wondering if she prefers Red Lobster or Olive Garden for her birthday [...]

Eminem’s new video for “Love the Way You Lie” featuring the vibrating echoes of Rihanna was released last week and it got like 30 gazillion hits in like 5 minutes on YouTube.
Okay. That’s an exaggeration — but it did get a lot of hits.
It got so many hits because it features Merry the Hobbit/Charle from [...]

Remember in the late ’90s and early ’00s when there would be like 50 rappers on one track (whether it be remixed or not)? When everyone would take a verse? It would get so confusing that you had no idea who was the sole proprietor of the song. I’m talking about songs like the “Ruff [...]

So much has happened since my last post. I bought two Ralph Lauren Black Label shirts from the Barneys Warehouse Sale, I’ve taken my first Muay Thai class, Prop 8 got overturned, and I need to do laundry.
My excuse for not posting? I don’t have one.
What better way to get back into my blogging rhythm [...]

I wish the homeless people in San Francisco were as graceful as this:

It kind of reminds me of a run-in I had today with a semi-homeless man today (I say semi-homeless because he asked me for BART fare, so he obviously had some sort of destination to go to). He [...]
