Koreans and the Small Face Phenomenon

Having grown up in the U.S., I have heard on more than one occasion that celebrities possess larger heads compared to those of the general population, the idea being that the larger head will have larger features, which will show better on screen. There is even an episode of Entourage where Turtle proclaims, “The bigger […]

Lee Byung Hun in G.I. Joe… Unmasked!

While Hallyu (aka the Korean Wave) has been sweeping across the eastern hemisphere like a tazmanian devil on crack, Korean stars have yet to penetrate the fickle and demanding world of Hollywood. Until just recently, Korean celebrities’ foray into American pop culture could be summed up in two words: epic fail. Take Rain, for example. […]

It’s a Small, Not a Tall.

I have never been a fan of the coffee conglomerate known as Starbucks. Sure I love me my coffee. However, the super chain has always seemed so contrived with their run-of-the-mill bland food items, ambience that screams “yuppy hipster here!”, and overpriced coffee. I much rather prefer the taste of the sub-$1 Dunkin’ Donuts coffee […]

I Hope to God That’s Batman

I’ve never been too into the whole LOLCats craze, but when my sister told me that she had been contacted by its publishers to have her dog included in its latest book, I started to pay more attention. FYI, this is the picture of Dante, my sister’s adorable cairn terrier and shih-tzu mix that will […]

“Welcome to The Rock”

Guess what movie is playing on TNT right now! Another Nicholas Cage classic, The Rock… This movie always brings a smile to my face because it reminds me of my friend Steve, who is undoubtedly one of the funniest people I know. Not too long after the movie was released, he flexed his arm and […]

Google Knows Me

If you have a Google Profile and you’re signed into your account, try doing a Google search for the word “me.” Your profile shows up as the first result! How freakin cool (and stalkerish) is that? Via The Steve Rubel Lifestream. Some people would never share their full name on their blog. I no longer […]

A Digital Piano to Call My Own

Having played the piano since the age of 5, I always pictured my “grown-up” home featuring a baby grand nearside an oversized window. What I didn’t realize is that city living on a limited budget does not allow for such luxuries. Sometime last year I decided that a digital/electric piano would fit the bill. It […]
