1995. I remember it was my last year in junior high. I remember being awkward and unsure, desperately wanting to fit in, longing to be just like everyone else yet still wanting to leave a unique imprint as a burgeoning adult. I remember sneaking peeks at issues of YM and Seventeen at the school library. And I remember […]
The comic is pretty funny by itself, but the comments on it are hilariously accurate too! Here’s my favorite: IE10 is like the friend that said he would show up to the party early and bring tons of booze that everyone can have, but shows up 3 hours late with a 40 of king kobra […]
I don’t have much time, so I’ll make this quick… Aerin’s surgery on Monday went very well. She is recovering nicely and has been running around like nothing has happened. But that same night, we had to rush J to the E.R. and he has been in the hospital since with a kidney infection. They’re […]
Last week, my mother told me something that made me want to lock myself in a dark room and sob like a little girl. You see, Claire had told her, “엄마는 다정이 안좋아해. 엄마는 효정이만 좋아해.” (“Mommy doesn’t like Claire. Mommy only likes Aerin.”) Now, I know that kids often say things they don’t necessarily mean. […]
Last week, both kids received their flu vaccines…and they’ve been coughing since. Claire seems to be holding up pretty well, but Aerin’s dry cough turned into phlegm-y, hacking fits which progressed to a fever. And with her surgery date so close, the doctor advised us to keep an extra watch on her. Like most kids, […]
Below are 50 movies depicted in emoji form. Can you guess them all? (I will post the answers in the comments section. I’m not sure I should be proud of the fact that I got all of them without a problem…?) Via WeKnowMemes. You may also like: 5 Things I Found on the Internet This […]
They’re the best of the best, aren’t they? The cream of the crop, the pick of the litter. The finest, most talented, and most dedicated athletes at any given moment. You’d think they’d somewhat resemble each other. Okay, so I know that people come in all different shapes and sizes. And it’s obvious that there exists […]
As of 9:20am today, our Aerin Isabel turns 2 years old. When I updated our speech therapist on the status of Aerin’s hearing — that she is, indeed, still hearing impaired and will need tubes placed in her ears — the reaction was one of pure shock. “Just judging by the tremendous progress she has […]
Happy Halloween from the Geek in Heels clan! My little Ewok (Aerin) and my kickass Chun-Li (Claire) wish you all a safe and memorable holiday. I’d prefer the picture above were of one where they are posing together, but trying to get a decent picture of them in one frame (i.e., a non-blurry shot of them […]
As if being a huge fan of J.J. Abrams who also happens to be a book nerd is not reason enough… A few months ago, geeks worldwide went into a guessing frenzy when Abrams’ production company tweeted the following: The secret is finally out, because the mysterious trailer was for a book, which Abrams conceived and written […]
I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.
