Pink's - an American tradition in artery hardening
Sunday, July 04, 2004
Who can resist the cholesterol-filled, heart-attack inducing goodness of a hot dog from Pink’s?
It used to be a cart selling dirty hot dogs in L.A., but thanks to over 60 years of selling the same thing in the same place, they’re now a fine establishment that sits at the corner of La Brea and Melrose. Definitely worth a try - one time won’t kill you...very quickly. Check out this picture of the Millenium Dog. It’s a jalepeno hot dog with lettuce, tomatoes, chilli, nacho cheese, onions, um, and pretty much anything else you can think of.
Plus you get good service from really happy happy people. I mean, look at this guy. “Here! Don’t get a heart attack on the premises! It’s bad for business!”
So what is up with the Auto Zone?
Thursday, July 01, 2004
Auto Zone’s motto should be: “Women, don’t bother coming in here because we *know* you haven’t got a clue about cars!” Grrrrrrrrr.
Apparently, if you’re a woman and don’t know exactly EVERYTHING about the piece of equipment you are purchasing, the guy that works there will assume that you are a brain dead jelly fish when it comes to anything mechanical and proceed to patronize you with his uber simplified explanations. “This is a car. You put new things on it when they break.”
I mean, i know that i’m not the most knowledgeable person alive when it comes to cars, but come on! I can tell when i have the wrong size windshield wiper WHEN THEY OVERLAP EACH OTHER AND CAN’T MOVE! The guy, after giving me this scathing look of skepticism, actually had to come out and examine the car after i told him that he gave me the wrong size of wiper.
“See look,” i said. “They overlap.”
“Who told you that?”
“Um, i can just tell by looking at it. They won’t move like this.” I begin to flush.
Finally he gets me the right size, still treating my like i’m mentally handicapped.
Can’t stand patronizing car guys.
Check out this new store - See-Throo
Wednesday, June 30, 2004
A friend of a friend just opened a clothing shop on Sunset in L.A. called See-Throo. Check it out!
My friends and i went to the Grand Opening party this sunday night. Oh, here’s the address in case you want to check it out: 7561 Sunset Blvd. East of Fairfax, just before Gardner. Anyway, they have some interesting isht. If you’re into goth, anime cosplay, or industrial stuff, check it out. Check out See-Throo’s website.
Good stuff there. My friend has basically been living in the store getting ready for the grand opening. Here’s a pic of me and Kimi at the opening.
Stop by and purchase a leather bustier sometime!
MORE addictions!
Tuesday, June 22, 2004
I know i’m a bit behind the times, but this game is so addictive!
Bejeweled is one of those games that you can play forever and never get tired of it. I has a the same crack-like quality that...well, crack has - just plain addictive! Try it out in case you haven’t yet.
In the works

Finally did some coding this weekend!
I’ve got a basic structure up but there are no working links, so we’ll still have to see how this goes. So check out the new site and let me know what you think!
Blepharoplasty Mania!
Wednesday, June 16, 2004
What in Buddah’s name is blepharoplasty? if you’re Asian, you probably know someone who’s had this done. It’s the eyelid surgery that gives you a “more defined and symmetrical eyelid crease.” See the pics below:
BEFORE
AFTER
The reason i brought this up is because it (of course!) relates to a recent experience of mine. I don’t often wear makeup, so when i do, it makes a dramatic difference. Not surgical reconstructive surgery different, but different enough. So primped and pressed for a graduation, i went to a friend’s house. After his mom saw me (and note that I’ve known her for YEARS), she commented to him later that she thought i had eye surgery done. “No mom, it’s makeup.” But she was decided that i had undergone blepharoplasty.
So how do i feel? One friend commented: “That’s a compliment, isn’t it?”
I don’t know? Is it? On one hand, she’s saying i fit more into the stereotypical American version of beauty. great. On the other hand, she implies that i would be willing to pay money to undergo elective surgery for vanity. Or maybe my eyelids are just really obstructing my vision...?
Please note that I don’t think she ever thought if it like that. But still, it made me wonder…
What do you think?
