1. It's been two years since I've had borsch but it's still fucking delicious.
2. I...finally fell in love with beautiful hardcovers. Yes, years behind everyone else, probably. I've grown up always appreciating mass market paperbacks the most because they're cheap and light and made for easy reading and carrying around and, importantly for the anal retentive part of me, the same size when lined up on my bookshelf.
I hated annoying hardcovers for being heavy and bulky with dust covers that just constantly get in the way, but I guess I just never spent enough time at secondhand bookshops browsing the way they used to make hardcovers - like art pieces rather than for mass consumption with ugly dust jackets. Basically, I stared inappropriately and touched reverently in a way that would be creepy with people but is totally acceptable with books. Thankfully.
One day I will grow up and own a real house with a real library!
3. I watched the All Star Weekend 2012 and have developed a ginormous crush on Carey Price's snark. I have just decided that it's easier to assume that everyone is a terrible person and refuse to care about anyone off the ice, but if they entertain me on ice, I'm a fan. I've rewatched ASW 2011 many, many times, thanks to my Staal/Skinner/Canes love (as well as the Danny/Claude and Kaner/Tazer moments), but 2012 gave me new appreciation of so many players. In retrospect, it was a probably better that I didn't watch it until I knew enough hockey to know and care about almost all of the players because it was more fun this way. So many feelings. So many player crushes!
4. What the fuck. PARK JISUNG IS GOING TO BE ON RUNNING MAN. PARK JISUNG AND RIO FERDINAND. What the fuck. Also, obligatory "fuck Man United".
5. While I'm on the topic of Korean fandom, I only managed to catch about 10 minutes of the livestreaming Google Kpop concert last week because I forgot and also was too lazy to stay up for, but in those 10 minutes I saw f(x) (Victoriaaaaaaaaaa) and Seohyun do a solo. My thought process:
MEI: Wow, this song is really upbeat!
MEI: Wow, you're playing guitar all by yourself, Seohyun!
MEI: Aww, I bet Yonghwa isso proud stupid in love.
Apparently I tinhat them more than I knew. :D
6. I have come to the tragic conclusion that Claude Giroux and I are terribly unsuited for each other despite our shared love of grilled cheese sandwiches and chai lattes - and not just because he's, cough, already married and basic things like, you know, reality. I mean, he fucking loves bread. And I? I think bread is a fucking nuisance of empty carbs taking up space in my stomach. (Yet I love rice. BLAME THE ASIAN IN ME.)I just stopped myself from making a dirty joke here.
