Every year around this time, the Asian seafood restaurants start running crazy specials on them delicious delicious King Crab legs.  This is probably about the most important news you’ll hear from me all year.  $3.99/lb baby!  How are you not stuffing your face already?!

Here is an animation I did with Veronica Hwang a while back.( seriously like 2008….)  Just took me forever to finally edit it.  I used the Zeitgeist Films contest as ammunition to get met to doooo it.  We got 3rd place!!  The filmmakers Stephane Aubier and Vincent Patar of “A Town Called Panic” praised it for its “the funny idea of bringing mountains to life.”

As I left AWFUL Trader Joes, (I have a hate affair with these stores cause of their insanely small parking lots)  I came across a cookie in the parking lot.

It was in a plastic bag and looked homemade.

Just like in our cartoon,I really wanted to eat it.  Luckily Mr.Phi dragged me away but he took a picture of me contemplating the delectable looking cookie!

Didn’t think it was possible, but I managed to overdose on chocolates this past Sunday.  Was green to the face, sick to the stomach, made two trips to the crapper, and was ready to tackle the rest of the box by evening.

This is usually what happens with food gifts between me and Evelyn.  One of us will take a bite of it or immediately expect a bite of whatever delectable treat it happens to be.  I don’t think I have ever taken a bite out of EVERYTHING though…..  Although that would happen if it was the Deluscious Valentine Cookie Box.

But I am positive she would not blame me for doing that………muhahahhaaa

(On a side note, why do I always draw myself with 1 arm in the air……Maybe I should have 1 arm in the air as my new look….hmmmm)

Ahhhhh.  Mr.Phi and I have been mass produced in Shanghai!! I wonder who owns our copyrights?

Curses!!::shakes fist!:: Where are my royalties?!?

I demand payment in the form of 100 potstickers from the Stand near Jing’an Temple!!

Today my good buddy Maverick died.

You were my first fish, and an excellent source of distraction.

I will miss you much.

Pee-Wee’s Playhouse!!  I was so excited yesterday to find out that Pee-Wee Herman was putting on a series of shows in LA.  I think I will have to drive down just to check one of these shows out. But why no Pee Wee love??  Doesn’t seem like any of my friends is too interested in going?!  What is this fuckery!?  Evelyn even replied “Meh” to me but this isn’t a big surprise because that is her most common reply to activities not involving food or watching Turner Classic Movies.

One of my favorite Pee-Wee appearances was on a 1980s Dolly Parton Special. (Go to 3:45 for their duet)  And all I ever wanted was this playset below!  One time at college I saw it in a teacher’s office and considered theivery but I gave that up when my friend got arrested for stealing 5 bras at a JCPenny. (Tip: people notice when you go from A cup to D cup in 8 minutes.)

So my dear Mr.Phi downloaded this album below last nite and it definitely took me back.  I used to listen to nothing but Weezer and Ben Folds Five.  Plus I loved Nintendo.  Especially Legend of Zelda!  We even played Legend of Zelda music as for our exit procession at our wedding cause we couldn’t think of anything better lol.

Speaking of Nintendo, when were little my Dad started hogging it to beat the last level in the original Super Mario Brothers.  This was before we even knew about Time Warp. (Seriously needed the  Nintendo Strategy Guide!)  I would act like an oracle sitting on our plaid couch with my bag of Fritos & cheese dip.   Trying to will him to beat it with my mental powers.  I wish I had insane vids of this, so heres another kind for you

And oh my gawd, I totally forgot about the show “Video Power“!!! I was in love with the Tomato Character on it.

Today Amazon bought Zappos.  This is a big deal in the .com world coz Amazon paid bucu bucks for them.

Anyway, The Wall Street Journal posted the following letter from Zappos CEO to their staff:

http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2009/07/22/zappos-ceos-letter-to-staff/

There were 3 excerpts that I found highly amusing:

#1.)  Please set aside 20 minutes to carefully read this entire email.

[Evelyn] lol.  i wish i had the luxury to demand people do this.  eh, i guess when you’re a CEO…

#2.)  Q: Will we get a discount at Amazon?

No, because we are planning on continuing to run Zappos as a separate company with our own culture and core values. And we’re not going to be giving the Zappos discount to Amazon employees either, unless they bake us cookies and deliver them in person.

[Evelyn] Um so like, this is pretty much PPP Hour’s policy towards everything.  What?  You want us to do something?  Cookies!  Gimme!  Nao!

#3.) Q: Can you please stop?

okthxbye

[Evelyn] To Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh:  I appreciate your brand of humor!  :D  That is, if this email was even real.  If it wasn’t, I was still highly entertained by whoever wrote it.
