    Dream Diary, 2.24.13

    Does anyone else have dreams that play like a Tim Burton movie stream? No? Only me? Okay. After a long thinking day, I declared laptop lights off at past 1am, closed my half-closed eyes and started my prayers, and drifted straight into a scary dream where someone I can’t see was tugging at my left shoulder. I pulled myself out and sank into another similar nightmare. And on it went for what felt like an hour at least, like channel surfing through cable TV that only had horror selections. Ah the many ways that stress can haunt you (pun cornily…

    Review: John McClane and John McClane Jr Like to Die Hard

    The only thing I knew about the Die Hard films was that it was Joey and Chandler‘s favorite movie. Good thing my sparse knowledge doesn’t matter, because apparently none of the preceding four films had anything to do with the latest one. A Good Day to Die hard is the fifth, and possibly not the last film in the franchise. That is if the fact that Bruce Willis can still hold and shoot many guns and barrel an armored Mercedes Benz truck through a vicious car chase scene at his age is indicative of anything. Also the film did well…

    Dream Boy Onew

    A boy can not wear floral and plaid together and not be written about. It’s just not done. The outfit is plainly screaming for a blog post. It is that happy time of year for SM Entertainment to once again whore out its ever effective noona bait. Fresh (and probably still tired) from the success of their mini album Sherlock and a multitude of concerts in Japan and elsewhere around the world, the Neverland boys of SHINee are raring and ready with another release. Leader Onew teases with the photo above for SHINee’s new song Dream Girl. Now I can with confidence…

    Mind Setting

    Do you have days when the pain you feel transcends that crunching pain on your right shoulder from lugging around your heavy bag? Days when the headache is beyond the pounding drums that are your temples? If yes, thank you for relating. The Chinese horoscope explains this cloudy feeling through the supposed fate of a Wooden Ox like me in the Year of the Water Snake. You will face many challenges in the beginning of the year. Be patient. To you Horoscope, I stake one claim: at least in one aspect of my life, I can tell you I have earned several…

    Nick Miller Meets Space Man and Jake the Dog for the Buffet

    When going to a buffet dinner, the first priority is comfort and ease of movement. Yes, there is a well-thought out fashion strategy for dining out in that particularly high speed, high volume environment. For that night, I turn to my new eating pants a.k.a. space pants a.k.a. SHINee pants (black stretch and faux leather panels), my red checked Nick Miller shirt, and trusty black Converse high cuts. My cousin came in with Jake the dog in his shirt pocket, and his luxurious ridiculous hair in a ponytail. Buffet on. #citybuffet #SMfairview #EnsemblesShirt #LandmarkJeggings #ConverseHighCuts #SchoolFairAdventuretimeShirt   Part 2. Buffet review of City Buffet SM Fairview branch Pros –…
