hot pot night!

I'm kinda glad it got cold again because it gave me the opportunity to host a hot pot night for Ian and Elizabeth. Tres fun!



All photos were taken by Ian Galloway. Thanks Ian!

But you mustn't get yourself so dirty

I've been watching too many movies and taking cell phone pics of them.

K.O. is more than O.K.

Knock Out cosmetics makes a line of matte nail polish that is literally a knockout. I just bought some over the holidays and I'm totally amazed. I don't know what they put in it, but it is super chip resistant. Take it from a person who doesn't wear gloves in a research laboratory: this works!

KO nail polish in "concrete". It's day 4 and still no chips!


You know what else is a knockout? KO's endorser, Karen O!

I think I am totally taking after Karen O with the new hair and now nails. : )

I'm sleepy

Reporting for jury duty in Philadelphia at 8am is a painful experience. I'm too tired to post anything with visuals; I'll just direct you to another great blog that I've recently stumbled upon: Sleep Talkin' Man.

tumblr is the new blogspot?

I gotta say, tumblr blogs look so much better than blogspot blogs. Lucky for you, I'm "well established" on blogspot so I won't move. Apparently fashion photographer Terry Richardson has a tumblr!? Two word's: IT'S AMAZING.

quintessential French new wave moment

I'm currently re-watching François Truffaut's "Shoot the Piano Player". My favorite scene is when Clarisse (Michèle Mercier) strips and gets into bed with Charlie (Charles Aznavour). After the audience's first exposure to nudity in the film, Charlie covers Clarisse with the blanket and tells her that this is how it's done in the movies. Then, she turns to the camera and strikes a pose:

So great!

monster is the new leopard

Already tired of leopard print? How about monster skin?

I need this chair for my newly arranged living room! For more monster goodies and details on how monster skin is created, visit Longo Land. (via Notcot)

farewell, my diana-f

A few months back I picked up an original Diana-F at a yard sale of all places. At first, I was having a lot of fun with the camera and was stoked that many photos were pretty neat. The only thing I can't stand is the light streaks. Funny how the manufacturers of the Diana remakes still maintained this annoying characteristic. Bah! I've decided I'm not fooling around with this camera anymore. Enjoy the pics because there will probably be no more from me!

i like big

Okay, I got my Leif Goldberg calendar coming in the mail, but what about a desk calendar for work? Butt 2010 calendar si o no?

regret

On a cold day like this, I wish I was burning my mouth with a box of these babies:

Gregoire's crispy potato puffs
Why didn't I get them when I was in Berkeley a few weeks ago? Oh the aioli sauce... *tears!* If you are in Berkeley, please go munch down some for me.

yearly tradition

Every year I get a Leif Goldberg silkscreened calendar. Usually I get one at the Giant Robot in SF when I hang out with Brandon. This year Brandon was like this:

so I didn't get a chance to get the calendar. Now I just purchased one from the Ooga Booga online store (a new fav). You should get one too here. See, it's way too fun!

happy new year

I'm backkkkk! It's time for a fresh start to a new decade. From now on, I'll try to keep things short and sweet. Here are some photos I took on my trip to Taiwan:
