we heart the 90's

So there's been all this talk about a 90's party comin' up.

It's kind of sad how we can actually refer back to the 90's now as if it was some golden age way back in the distant past?

I know everyone watched Saved by the Bell... but did anyone watch this show???

The best part is that one of the main characters is a girl named Julie who played for the guys' basketball team. She was my hero~


i really feel like watching this movie right now and eating gross gas station junk food.

who shall i dress up as?
a). 1/3 of TLC
b). 1/5 of the Spice Girls
c). Gwen Stefani
d). Cher from Clueless
e). Typical Asian girl with Bebe shirt, black shiny dress pants, and platform sandals

The possibilities are endless!

things that make me feel SUPER depresso:

1. the doom of writing papers (esp. long research papers that are 20+ pages)
2. post-thanksgiving gloom
3. icy blue Christmas lights (they should be yellow or multi-colored!)
4. Hacienda Heights
5. this intro:

kpop pretty boys have nothin' on these guys

My two favorites from the golden era of film...



Marlon Brando: The Ultimate Bad-ass
He plays a crook, fighter, wife-beater, rapist. And I still can't get myself to hate him. I remember watching "On the Waterfront" and falling in love. I think that's where these faulty notions of finding a "reformed badboy" were originally planted in my foolish little mind. I recall watching "Streetcar Name Desire" on a plane ride to somewhere (I think Korea?)... yeah~ not really a plane movie, but Brando's greasy bod and brash accent were so unexpectedly attractive. And comeon~ he grows up to be the freaking Godfather... how can you get more gangster than that?




And then at the complete opposite end of the spectrum


Gregory Peck: The Good Guy
From the noble attorney to the upright journalist, this guy makes me have faith in mankind... I would've married him in a heartbeat(but then again, who honestly wouldn't?). The last scene in "Roman Holiday" is one of my favorite movie scenes of all time; It's so bittersweet it makes my heart & body ache when I watch it.


Funny that Brando and Peck apparently didn't get along in real life.

They don't make movies (or men) like these anymore...
