vicki has a habit of google image searching weird things. recently, it was cher. tonight, its giant pictures of burger kings chicken sangwiches.
Our little team hopped on the subway and trekked from Union Square all the way up to 110th in Harlem. We got to the townhouse where the gathering was being hosted. Upon entering, the Gay who owned it offered us drinks and a place to sit. We were introduced to 5 more Gays and also Lucas' single hetero companion of the night. We took our seats on the couch. On the TV across from us, the same Bravo special they play every halloween since 2001, "100 Scariest Movie Moments", and projected on the wall behind us above the couch was a looped video made up of halloween movie clips. Of course, everyone else in the room was sitting across from us watching the projection while our eyes were on the television. Constant conversation flowed , folks commenting on whatever movie was shown behind us, so in order to be a part of the conversation we had to crane our necks around to look behind us. Awkkk. Finally after the movie countdown and clip shows ended, we put on the Halloween Special SNL episode from 2002. I was sure this would make conversation easier, but the night turned into a neverending pop-culture reference showdown. Mind you, i dont mean current pop-culture, "oh LiLo","Gossip Girl","Bernie Mac Died", etc, conversation. These references were more along the lines of, "Margaret Kidder", "Meg Tilly", "Chris Farley's drug problems" references. Important in the overall pop-culture scheme of things, however, irrelevant to my knowledge/interests. Awkkk.
she clearly does not know anything about the art of blogging.
anyway, this is an interesting observation i have had based on zoe's roommate:
zoe has a roommate, Min-Joo, who is an extremely peppy exchange student from one of the many asia countries. Accent and all. She often has her little friend, also from asia, over to watch japanese video diaries on the internet, etc. etc. I love Min-Joo. She is super sweet and i love her. Still, it fascinates me to watch Min-Joo and her little friend giggling at their cartoons and asian internet as if they were lions on animal planet. While looking up at them occasionally throughout my conversation with Zoe, I would hear them listening to Fergie, the recent Gwen Stefani, Diplo remixes of M.I.A., etc., giggling, occasional pops of asian jokes from they're young, naive lips, I can just imagine viewing the subtitles on a video of their brain, reading, "ohh! look at her hair! ees so blonde and naturally crimped! i love hur fair skeen, and bloo eyes!". How they love our white pop culture so...
Oh i love them. Little do they know, out pop culture is highly uninspired and worlthless :) Dream Big, young asians! Eyes to the heavens!
