An Asian on Occasion.

Ten Articles About the Author:

1. I like living in a bamboo grove with my man and our cat.

2. I like old films, gaming, spontaneous road trips, and singing loudly.

3. I like witty banter because it is exhilarating and sexy.

4. I like driving fast... or as fast as I can manage.

5. I like cool music + hot musicians... a LOT.

6. I like to combine #4 and #5 often. Lather, rinse, repeat!

7. I like a great many things and am mercurial in my crushes.

8. I like pens, words, poetry, and books. It's fair to call me a word nerd.

9. I like hot buttered popcorn more than I should.

10. If you are curious about anything else, ask. I don't bite... much.

Lovely red heeled platforms… while also cute, I know I could NOT rock this accessory. Heels + me = not a good idea.

These sweet otters are rafting as they sleep, a protective measure they employ when there is no kelp. In 2002, Nyac and Milo were filmed at the Vancouver Aquarium and this is one of the many versions of the video floating around YouTube.

In 2008, Nyac passed away at the age of 20. She was the last surviving sea otters of the Exxon Valdez oil spill.

Thanks to @qikipedia via @The_Red_ninja for the link.

It’s a “Bearbrick Garden”… massive bears in candy colours! Why don’t I have one (or all) of these?!

Next month, Japanese toy company Medicom celebrates its 15th anniversary  with a big exhibition at Parco Shibuya. To get people hyped on the  upcoming show, Parco and Medicom have collaborated on the creation of  what they call a “Bearbrick Garden” near the entrance to Parco Shibuya.  What exactly is a Bearbrick Garden? It’s a space along Shibuya Koen Dori  inhabited by huge Japanese toys in candy colors! Bearbricks are made in  sizes ranging from tiny, which they call 50%, up to human child-sized,  which they call 1000%. So how big are the Bearbrick Garden Bearbricks?  3000%!

Panda Darake Chopsticks Practice Kit… for a little over $20.00, you can level up your chopsticks skills with 12 panda figures, 1 tyre, 1 table and naturally, one set of chopsticks.
If I already didn’t have high hashi-fu, I’d totally grab a set. For practice… not playing. I swear.
