Valentine Domo

The cheapness of the Domo dolls at Target never fails to boggle my mind. One of the pink Valentine Domos I saw tonight had his arm sewn on backwards. Another Domo was badly stitched around the crotch and looked like it had genitals.

Bleach, collagen and silicone

Mia Lee is a Korean American anchor woman for KCAL news in Los Angeles. Watching her transformation into Malibu Stacy has been disturbing.

Olé!

I love crafts but make it point to avoid them, because I abhore clutter. If I started a craft it would be tissue paper flowers. My house would look like a Mexican fiesta 24-7.

Cat fight (sort of)

$%#@!* YOU

I work with very nice people. They are generally thoughtful and encouraging colleagues. However I've noticed an oddity in my workplace. When others sneeze my coworkers fall over one another to say "bless you" or "gesundheit." However, when Ajumma sneezes you can practically hear a pin drop. Yesterday my colleague sneezed and I said, "Bless you." She thanked me. A moment later I sneezed and there was dead silence. She and I were the only ones in the room! Perhaps others think I'm an ass. Or maybe they suspect I'm Buddhist and would be offended by the blessing. Whatever the reason, I've decided I am going to stop acknowledging sneezes as well. Afterall, we don't bless people when they fart.

Update: Someone at work sneezed and I said, "bless you," this morning. I guess I failed.

Kids these days grow up so fast. Sean Malto's already nineteen.

It's Friday, people

You know what that means.

Conan O'Brien in Chinatown

A real ajumma would never admit this, but I know nothing about anything. To show you how clueless I am, sixteen years ago I wrote a review for my high school newspaper on the new Late Night with Conan O'Brien show. I said the writing reaked and it wouldn't last a season. I stated the worst part about Conan was his sidekick Andy Richter. Flash forward sixteen years and Conan has just wrapped up his show on NBC (sadly without Andy) and is saying goodbye to a faithful audience who enjoy his youthful antics. He's actually pulling up stakes and moving to Los Angeles where he's taking over Jay Leno's Late Show. Conan's first gig in Leno's time slot will be on June 1. Hopefully O'Brien will have the luck of the Irish with him.

Beck's midcentury home for 2.3 million

Los Angeles Times reports that musician Beck's Malibu home is up for sale for $2, 345,000. The property is listed as a 1600 square-foot home with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. The property also includes a guest house. Looking at the photos, I can't get over how French Country the interiors appear.
