this is just something that drove me nuts today. i turned down an internship at a tech startup yesterday, mostly because i didn’t find the concept to be very interesting. (it’s like facebook, but not facebook. can silicon valley please get past this idea?) the guy who is the “ceo” seemed like he wanted someone who was really passionate about the job, i.e. i turned it down...

went to ocean city, maryland for the first time last saturday. [with alexander guo, old friend, & met don martin, haewook lee, curie kim, and keith alford, new friends.] what a great way to spend a summer day — perfect water, perfect weather, and zero stress. and it finally motivated me to put about 6 hours of music on my phone. bonus points for productivity!

i love sweet potatoes, but i’m full. so i took half of one, mashed it up with some leftover green tea leaves, and threw in a bit of the jojoba oil/thyme tincture i use as a toner. this is the worst face mask ever, (if you try this, add some honey) but i guess i’ll find out tomorrow if it did anything or if i just threw a bunch of food on my face.

in about two years, when father’s day rolls around again, i’d like to go do a scotch tasting together. it seems appropriate to learn about scotch from my dad. smartest man i’ll ever know.

tall people {profanity}

me: i comfort myself with the fact that in a zombie atk, they'd be primo targets and i could probably gtfo.
michael: tall people run fast.
me: tall people trip easily.
michael: less steps, less potential for tripping. i don't know where you found that statistic.
me: lanky bodies, less coordinated. also shorties are deceptively cute. $20 i could mindfuck a tall person into thinking they were safe before tossing them in front of a zombie as a human shield.
michael: i've watched far too many zombie movies to be so easily fooled. i'm zombie-proof. i have a zombie survival guidebook that i borrowed for entertaining reading from a friend. i know which weapons are lightest and strongest, which locations would be best for tactical fighting advantages to food sources.
me: [redacted] taser.
michael: wtf does that do
me: knocks you out long enough for me to get away.
michael: there is no way i'd let you do that to me and leave me as bait. plus that'd be a terrible move. i'd be able to keep you alive.
me: no choice. & i don't trust you in a zombie atk. i can keep myself alive.
michael: let's be real. in any case of a zombie attack, you and i would never be in the same party due to geographical locations anyway. besides i have perfect situational awareness. i learned it from sterling archer, the world's most dangerous spy
me: it's true. we'd probably end up meeting in the final refugee camp or whatever. & that's nice, but who has good aim and knows how to use a gun. end result of this convo = in case of zombie atk, everyone should run the hell away from the both of us.
michael: wompaderp
