I recently started to make time to watch Ellen everyday.  Watching her show at the of a long day is actually theraputic for me.   I had forgotten how funny, witty, and incredibly generous she is.   Sometimes, I sit around laughing by myself watching her show, and yes, my cats stare at me give me funny looks.  And today Ellen celebrated her 1100th show.  Congratulations to her and her awesome show.  

 

 

 

Google’s TV ad.  I don’t know if there are any other Google TV ads but this was so sweet and so poignant.  Clearly this was one of my favorite ads of the nite.

Dodge Charger commercial called “A Man’s Last Stand.”   Michael C Hall’s voice brought the ad to a whole new level IMO.

I’ve been working at the IAC building now for almost 3 years.  We have enough perks here to really define us as an “internet” company.  And one of my personal favorite is Bagel Friday.  I overheard by the toaster this AM, a guy telling his co-worker that he thought about working from home today, but remembered it was Bagel Friday and decided to trek into the office.  Yes, we really do indeed love our Bagel Fridays here.

However after 3 years, close to 150 Bagel Fridays later, and countless number of bagel vendors, Murray’s Bagel in Chelsea has made its debut at our sacred weekly ritual.  The bagel goodness was higher than most bagels I recall and I have enough faith in Murray’s to believe that they will maintain this standard on weekly basis.  Although like some relationships, we’ve seen most bagel vendors make an awesome impression, then disappoint us after couple of weeks,  I would like to hope that this will be one of those rare lasting relationships….

WOW. first, how hard is it to spell punxsutawney? very hard. i wasn’t even close on my first attempt. i did puxawtawney phil. hahah. oh well.

it’s groundhog’s day. and well .. guess what. that critter saw his damn shadow. 6 more weeks of coldness for those of you who don’t know the legend.

lucky for me, i’ve got free heat and a bottle of jameson at home.

An artist named Dina Goldstein’s Fallen Princesses brilliantly depicts a realistic portrait of how things might’ve turned out for some of our beloved fairy tale princesses in the modern times.  I could totally see Cinderella having some serious marriage issues due to her childhood abandonment and abuse issues coupled with being married to the “Bachelor”.  The photography was beautifully done and these images do stirs emotions and impacting conversations for the audience.

I would like to think that I appreciate good design, regardless of whether it’s something that I would personally own or even like.  This “world links necklace would be one of those things.  This necklace isn’t something that I would buy or even wear but I think it’s a fantastic design and so incredibly clever :)   I totally appreciate that. 

White Collar.  Another show that John and enjoy watching.  Yes, our DVR is usually at 65% capacity.  And honestly I don’t even think I’m ashamed of it.  Is that kind of sad? 

Anywho, White Collar is a show on USA with the main character name Neal Caffrey.  Can we just focus on him for moment?  Seriously he is handsome enough for me to watch the show, even if the show was horrible.  However, the show is actually pretty decent.  A master criminal solves crimes.  Yes, it’s not a novel idea.  But the show definitely brings something “new” to the old idea and the acting is really pretty decent.  And once again, let’s focus on Mr. Neal Caffrey…

Okay, this is wrong and funny at the same time.  It’s too funny I have to share.  Gotta love MadTV.  And here’s another one that I thought was pretty hilarious and rather ironic from MadTV/Apple combo.

Another interesting article on NYTimes.  Recently saw the new Taco Bell Drive-Thru commercial and wondered about this topic.  Interesting article about this new “fad”.   Although the article clearly states all the reasons why this wasn’t a miracle weight-loss pill, I LOVE Mexican food so the Taco Bell fresco menu really appeals to me more than any other.  But then again, I don’t like the idea of having to drive to Taco Bell couple of times a week….. Hmmmmm… what does that say about how much effort I want to put into my weight-loss plan? : |

There were 2 articles about my fellow Koreans in NYTimes that I read this week.  They couldn’t be more different from one another.  One was about the Koreans totally ruling the world of texting and the other was about the rise in Koreans committing suicides.
