Love/Hate

Well, this post started after I watched the latest episode of “Sood Sanaeha”, the Thai soap I’m following.  Long story short, she finally sees what has been in front of her this whole time, and decides to nab the Chef.  The Chef walks away after her big scheme to apologize to him. I was actually cheering for the Chef.  Good for you for leaving that manipulative, selfish, whiny bitch! (Well, this is not the finale. Although to me, it’s a perfect ending right there!  Karma is a bitch, bitch!  But this is Thailand, expect a few more episodes of  the...

Power of One

One week in Bangkok. One movie. One episode of a Thai TV novella. And I’m hooked on the one, super hot Ken, Theeradej Wongpuapan. I only went home to Thailand for one week and I came back completely obsessed with a Thai TV novella, just like the rest of the female population in the country, Sood Sanaeha, directly translated to “Recipe for Love”. It’s all about the leading man, Ken, who plays a chef.  He was tasked to teach a superstar to cook because she wants to win the heart of a tycoon, also played by one of my favorite...

Enjoy the little things

Zombieland. Who knew that movie would give you some great life lessons.  Well, you know, aside of the Zombieland Survival Rules. Enjoy the little things, Talahassee said. My life has been kind of a whirlwind these past few months.  There are many little things I totally appreciate and enjoy. Like a bouquet of flowers Brandon bought for me. Very unexpected. Like getting a ride home from a bus buddy who drove in in the morning. Like getting my Italian homework explained to me by the Italian Coworker. Like watching Dresden react to “big people’s food” we offer him.  On Tuesday,...

Fighting the time

Friends, get ready for another long and slow season on the OakMonster blog. Thrill the World is here. And in full force.  (Oh hey, register with our LA team here.) I’m involved in many different levels this time, a lot more than I signed up for this year.  Well, you know, MJ went and died on us. That brought a lot more to the original “let’s take it easy this year” plan. I met with Amanda and Mahdroo and our new group of helpers last Wednesday.  This year is going to be awesome! Friday was the second anniversary of my...

Dreams that cannot be

Diversity dance group beat out Susan Boyle at Britain Got Talent finale. Deservedly so too, me think. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtwVfJqBfms] A shocker? Nah. I think Susan approached burn out right before the finale.  And she already has all the publicity one would need to succeed.  These boys NEED BGT win to make it out there. Poor Shaheen.  I was rooting for you, kid!...

New Boys in Town

Oh the new bunch of geek icons have made their ways into my celebrity crush fantasy land. First up. Zach Quinto. Okay I have to admit that originally, I didn’t think there was anything hot about him as Sylar on Heroes. But then as Heroes unfolds, his acting just makes him white hot.  Especially those times he was with Elle.  I mean, this scene here with her teaching him to use the electricity?  HOT!  Hotter than when they actually slept together. Seriously. Then again, the evil mastermind sociopath thing also works for me. And then, Zach as the emotionally restrained...
