Graphs of Rap-a-bility and Hip-hop-osity

Goodness.

Every once in a while, you come across a site of pure genius.

And then you wonder - where have you been all my life. I feel that way about Rap Represented in Mathematical Charts and Graphs.

Brilliant - my favityfav songs into graphs? ohhweeeh! indeed :)


My favs (of course) are:

All I need is one mic -



I love you like a fat kid loves cake!!

3. Carriage ride
4. Special at-night holiday shopping party (there's a ton of these floating around! Try Splendora NY edition)
5. Make gingerbread cookies and latkahs :)

Wicked, the Musical!

I am completely obsessed with Wicked.

Ah, the songs, the dances (Guh-lenda's lil hair flip is the best!) and the snobbery :P

One of the songs stuck in my head right now is: "I'm Not That Girl" –sung by Elphaba

Lyrics (with fav parts in purple):
Hands touch, eyes meet
Sudden silence, sudden heat
Hearts leap in a giddy whirl
He could be that boy
But I'm not that girl.

Don't dream too far
Don't lose sight of who you are
Don't remember that rush of joy
He could be that boy
I'm not that girl

Ev'ry so often we long to steal
To the land of what-might-have-been
But that doesn't soften the ache we feel
When reality sets back in

Blithe smile, lithe limb
She who's winsome, she wins him
Gold hair with a gentle curl
That's the girl he chose
And Heaven knows
I'm not that girl:

Don't wish, don't start
Wishing only wounds the heart
I wasn't born for the rose and the pearl
There's a girl I know
He loves her so
I'm not that girl.

Lazy Saturday. . .

Good times.

I think I'll just take it easy today - do some laundry, work on some real work remotely and work on a new set of stories/letters (more on that later).

Happy Saturday! (Enjoy that left-over turkey!)

"Cigs" blue ink on moleskine.

Black Friday. . .

I didn't brave the crowds today at Black Friday (something in my lil kitty-brain sez its not worth braving a 2 hour line for 10$ off a shirt) - but i did get some quality time walking around some local neighborhoods and doodling in cafes.

Sometimes we all need a bit of fresh air, a good burger and some time to put some ink on paper.

miao!

"waves" - blue ink on moleskine

Happy Thanksgiving!

Here's a quick sketch of a teddy bear from home. . . happy thanksgiving all :D

what are you thankful for?

"teddy time" - blue ink on moleskine

Mmm. . . Teppan-Time!

Today I went with some friends to get some delicious teppanyaki at Juban Restaurant. The steps to perfect order, cook and eat are so:

1. Order 2-3 meat dishes per person. My top three picks are: "Kalbi" short rib w/bone ($8.50), Ribeye ($9.50) and Garlic Steak ($8.50)
2. Pick a side of the grill to cook. If you're sharing the space with a large party, you'll have to claim one side of the grill.
3. Lay pieces of meat flat on grill. Be sure to know how rare you like the meat! Personally, I like well-done, almost charred so I leave it to brown on one side before I. . .
   
4. Flip the meat! Flip it real good -- or else you'll have one side really raw and one side really cooked.
5. EAT! Either eat it by itself (yum), eat it on a bed of white rice (yum yum) or eat it in lettuce wraps (yum yum yum!)

Ahh. . . happy full kitty!

If you're ever in New York, be sure to check out an even tastier option: Village Yokocho! Try out their delicious spinach dish or their duck skewers. Mmm!!

And since you're in the neighborhood check out the greasy-served-in-paper-cones Pommes Frites!

The Goldies 2007!

Every once in a while, a fabulous party comes along that I don't hear about until its too late (sad kitty).

This case is the San Francisco Bay Guardian's GOLDIES award ceremony (and afterpartyyyy) - a celebration of the Bay Area's best and brightest artists, filmmakers, dancers, writers etc :)

Maybe next time y'all can join me for a Yelper's paradise version of a sing-along to The Sound of Music?

Oh Armani Exchange - Trashy Hot per Usual

As I sit and surf online instead of doing real work, I see that Armani Exchange is having a fun winter season of the regular nearly-too-tight-clothes fit and sexy trashy fun. My top three picks for women for this season:

1. Cut-Out Shoulder Knit Shirt in Red. $48.00 Sexy good times off the shoulder cut - show off your clavicles!

2. Glazed Leather Jacket in Black. $375.00 Center zip, fun finish, leather. Lemme get out my Harley!

3. Keyhole Sweater Dress in Black. $98.00 Is it too cold to wear this dress? Yes. Will I still try to get away with wearing less? Yes.

Mmm. . . back to shopppinnggg. . .

Kitty Kitty drawing time!

This is what i do during meetings at KittyKitty's work place:


I like that its whiskers turned into poof clouds. Fun!

Missing the Sunshine-Land

I moved pretty recently to a new city where there's a lot less sunshine and sunshine-happiness. Every once in a while I go back and visit and soak in tons of sun. . . what I really want to do these days is slip into my teeny bikini and Haviana flip-flops and lie on a beach somewhere in San Diego.

Preferably with a hot male kitty on my arm ;)
