Whale- there is a first time for everything

i finally gave in to peer pressure and tried a very small piece of whale bacon.

it was thick and opaque white in color. At first, I wasn't quite sure of what it was and I was extremely hesitant to eat it but after coercion and encouragement from my company president, I just threw it back (like a tequila shot).

Now i am filled with remorse and guilt and my whale-loving sister has recently decided to disown me.

It was good though. But not worth it.

smartfm is UNREAL

so if you are trying to learn a language, you should definitely check out smartfm. I use it every night for my JLPT test prep and I feel a lot better.

It really helps with vocab. Of course, you need to look elsewhere for grammar. 

sometimes

sometimes i think about what i will look like when i get old.

and i worry that i will look like Bea Arthur.

sometimes, this keeps me awake at night.

some fun with photofunia

wow... charles grodin is getting old..

i love charles grodin (of Beethoven fame).. he is super cool.. 

i was SHOCKED to find out that he is 74!!!! how did that happen? 

Apparently, he was 58 when he filmed Beethoven, but he looked 40!

before- 

 

and after-

harry potter is the most important man in my life (sorry dad).

my new career.. i don't know if it exists yet..

i think i have found my calling in life.

i think i want to be a shoe historian.

this is only my thoughts of my last twenty seconds on earth however, i was a history major, i have a massive shoe collection back home and a fondness for shoes which cannot be denied or replaced by the love of a man, and i love antiques.. 

and then i can claim my purchases as tax deductions! and i can design shoes in my spare time.

time for another list...

i know you all love a good list.. so here is one inspired by facebook's living social app.

foreign exchange

A biracial couple were having an argument and the man insinuated that the woman should be cooking him dinner. She replied, "Hey, I'm not fucking your mother!"

The man, a native English speaker, of course exploded into raucous hoots and hollers. 

"Darling I think you mean, "Hey, I'm not your fucking mother", please be careful!"

Moral of the story: the importance of word placement in english conversation.

Also, one of my friends after a hectic night in a game arcade offered to give me a lift and said, "I want to give you pleasure". I hesitated a moment and burst out laughing. The student realised and turned bright red. He then corrected himself, "I want to please you...".. I said, "Mmmm, maybe, it's my pleasure is better".

Moral of the story: Pay attention in class otherwise you will offer a foreign girl your peeps.

An elderly protestant woman is staying in a plush casino in Las Vegas. She gets in an elevator and is followed in by two African American men. The woman presses her floor and one of the men says "Hit the ground (floor)"... The woman preceded to lie down on the floor of the elevator with her hands in the air. The two men crack up into absolute hysterics. It turns out that the men in question were Eddie Murphy and Magic Johnson. The next day, the concierge delivers the woman a bunch of roses... made from hundred dollar bills. True story. 

Moral of the story: sometimes your innate racism can make you money. Not a good example.

oh-ho! part deux

i fell off my bike again, ate some gravel, and now i have a big chunk missing from my chin which no amount of concealer can cover. 

Why do you think I fell off this time?

a) i had just been to 3 hours of nomihodai aka drunkety mcdrunk 

b) i was wearing 6 inch navy satin sonia rykiel heels (not practical for cycling) 

c) i have absolutely no balance, common sense or brakes! 

d) all of the above
