dusty collection of links

so dusty that i can categorize these further

-interesting-
the lewis model of cultural types is really neat
why are there missing nyc subway letters?
socially awkward is different from being creepy
long but interesting look at silicon valley, youth vs. old

-amusing-
if you need a smile, look no further than animals vs furniture
or, how dogs react to magic tricks
or, a english bulldog puppy rolling down a hill!
'The Expert'... sadly applies so well to tech
if miyazaki films were like other anime

-life and stuff-
apparently i exhibit most of the highly sensitive habits
life lessons for the 20s and to apply in the 30s
wanz (aka thrift shop feat. wanz) filmed 'Get Lucky' at my office (skip to 2:43 if you're looking for me). and, the red stapler made it in.

Oh hi blog. How's it going? Been a while...

2. I HATE apartment hunting. Also not looking forward to packing and moving when the precious summer days are beginning...
3. Speaking of summer, it's gonna be an uber busy one. Wee!
4. It amuses me that some people at work think I am an extrovert
5. I'm happy for all my friends getting married and otherwise engaged. Unfortunately it highlights my singleton status...
6. Green onions grow super easy, so why do I keep buying them then?
7. New favorite rice topping - hijiki
8. I'll get to my huge photo backlog eventually
9. Shishio arc in Rurouni Kenshin was just meh. I think I've watched too much anime to feel attached

Belated baking post - sugar cookies with strawberry icing

Sugar cookies with strawberry icing, made end of April


Recipes: sugar cookies here and strawberry icing here

When it says "sifted powdered sugar", sift the damn powdered sugar. The icing came out too sugary and lost the strawberry freshness, tho most people didn't mind
