Lars and the Real Girl is about a 27 year old man, Lars, who falls in love with a sex doll. Sure, it sounds kinky, but as the director of the film points out,
The premise of the movie just doesn’t do justice to the journey that you go on.

I would like to record one of the first Chinese character riddles I’ve ever guessed correctly!
四四方方一座城，
没有春夏没有秋
If you don’t read Chinese then you’re probably not very interested, but if you are, I think the lines basically mean
A four-walled castle
Has no spring, summer, has no autumn
Ok, so it’s not very hard (if you know Chinese), but I’m [...]

I had a pretty good day today. Got some stuff done… my friend and I decided on our Chinese thing (our final oral of the year for Chinese class is a performance, i.e, drama, song, dance, etc, meant to be funny. Problem: I’m not funny!!!). Emma came up with the idea of doing the Three [...]

Song: Bruises
Artist/Group: Chairlift
I tried to do handstands for you
But everytime I fell for you
I’m permanently black and blue, permanently blue for
you
That’s right, it’s the song everyone’s talking about – the song from the ipod nano “chromatic” ads! It is fun and happy and cute. But it’s also “indy”, which means that you’re allowed to like [...]

2) In a bowl mix together 200g flour, 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 teaspoon of salt.
3) Slowly add water as you mix, until [...]
toejam and bleating

Aaah, I’m tired. The day always seems too short, doesn’t it? Slowly getting some stuff done, though. Something really bad that’s started happening recently is that when I’m tired and someone says something funny, I do this really gross Kendra laugh. You know the one. Like a loud, monotonal bleat without moving your facial muscles. [...]

Wow, so I went to see WALL·E last night – I think this film could end up becoming one of my favs!
The story is about WALL·E, a Waste Allocation Load Lifter, Earth-class. He is a wee robot whose “directive” is to clean up rubbish. His torso opens, he scoops a load of garbage in and [...]

Basically American Express has this thing called a Membership Project, the final outcome of which is them awarding US$2.5million to be split between 5 projects for positive change submitted by Amex cardholders. They started [...]
