Back In the Days When I was Young....

I used to love, love, L-O-V-E this song and video. I mean it's the Rugrats how could you not.

Early Dinner and Late Lunch Malaysian Style

So me and my friend went out to try some "alleged" authentic Cantonese cuisine over in Doraville, GA (Atlanta's large Asian and Spanish community). Our intent was to visit Wan Lai, a Cantonese restaurant that I read about on the Creative Loafing website. Well when we finally arrived we walked up to a empty space in a little Asian shopping strip mall. So being the starving maidens that we were we decided to walk around the plaza in search of another restaurant that would feed my need for fried rice. We ended up deciding on a Malaysian spot called Penang (4897 Buford Highway Chamblee, GA 30341).

The Roti Canai

crispy Indian style pancake with curried chicken and potato sauce

Me and my girl Shay killed this appetizer. The curry was sooo good. The curry taste similar to the curry I have eaten from the Whole Food's Market I work. We tore and dipped while chatting without a glance down at the plate until we realized it was all gone.

The Honey Squid 

This was also an appetizer but I ordered it a little after the pancake and curry. I wanted some sort of seafood but not the typical calamari with black pepper. This was tentacles only and tasted a little charred as if grilled. The sauce was soooo good. It was like a caramelized teriyaki sauced with a hint of nutty sesame oil and a light spice. I was popping these back but my friend who never try anything was having a hard time getting past the way it looked.

This is the Clay Pot Pearl Noodle Soup which was way better than I thought it would be. Pearl noodles with minced shrimp, chicken, egg in a (obviously) clay pot. Without the crispy onions on top I felt this dish would have been in the bland department. After I did away with all of the crispy noddles I was force to resort to adding a few drops of soy sauce. I try to refrain from add any condiments to a meal unless absolutely necessary and this was almost unnecessary but I really felt that one drop was needed. You go and try and decide for yourself.

Oh but of course we ordered the shrimp fried rice. When my friend laid eyes on the soup I order she nearly fainted so I figured one normal dish that we both have had before would only be fair. I can only torture her so much right?

Another One For Yor Ass Boy!!!

I just love a funny picture. Maybe its just me but I find this LOL worthy. I bet the shark was like "how rude!"

The Thought of the Day

Girls are like
apples on trees. The best
ones are at the top of the tree.
The boys don't want to reach for
the good ones because they are afraid
of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they
just get the rotten apples from the ground
that aren't as good, but easy. So the apples
at the top think something is wrong with
them, when in reality, they're amazing.
They just have to wait for the right
boy to come along, the one
who's brave enough to climb
all the way
to the top
of the tree.

So You Believe You have Rhythm

I can't get enough of these dance competition shows. For some reason I never make it to the end of the season....I haven't seen a winner crowned since the Jabbawockeez. All in all this is one of my favorite So You Think You Can Dance routines.

What? I though it was funny

This is so random but I like it. Thank you Stumble!

Can I Get a Window Seat?

So I'm sitting on the bus going home from work and the bus driver gets out of the turning lane, and parks the bus in the middle of the street. As if that is a WTF!? moment for you she grabs her purse and hops of the bus. Now I finally figured out a way to get music on my service-less phone until i buy an SD card so I was jamming to Erykah Badu's " Window Seat" so i was completely loss when i witnessed this without a reason why. As I sat on the bus with a broken air condition I looked around at the perplexed faces of the other passengers to see if anyone seemed worried or anxious like they were going to be late for work and was surprised to fine everyone calm yet confused.

Just a little something that happened on M.A.R.T.A today.

Flava in My Ear

I would like to thank my friend Precilla for a status about The Black Keys. I, always being up for new music (especially good new music) decided to youtube the group because there had to be at least one official video right? Well the first song I clicked on was Tighten Up and it was an instant favorite....and the video is really cute too. Take a look-see if you like good music if not go to yesterday's post there's a rapping hood rat you are sure to enjoy.

Back In the Days..

Tell me you remember this one.

Awesome Rythmic Gymnast

[ Download ]


This is incredibly awesome it reminds me of the hula hoop girl from Cirque du Soliel. As a matter of fact I think I may post that one too.

This is so cool

So I was using my Stumble application that I just installed for firefox and it took me to a page with sidewalk chalk art. I thought this was THE most coolest used of chalk I have ever seen...EVER! I mean it is awesome...the drawing are huge and at an angle they look 3D. Now the question that has been on my mind is I am almost positive this takes hours to do so who would commission this kind of temporary time consuming work? And for what purpose? I highly doubt that people crawl around on their hands and knees all day drawing with chalk that will get washed away during the rainy season or when some dog takes a whiz at the curb just for art's sake. IDK....Maybe its just me.

In other news:if you would like to use Stumble! because you are incredibly bored and already checked all of your usual media take out sites click here.

Memoirs of a Hood Geisha

What is hood rat hell. So today I logged onto my twitter account and was served a link from Kid Fury, whom I love to death (also check out his youtube page its hilarious). Well me being the nosy female that I am I had to click on it and low and behold to my *sarcastically* surprise I see some form of Black hood fuckery. If ever I need a good laugh I very often frequent the holy trinity of fuckery online my twitter page, Kid Fury's youtube page The FuryTV and mother of all fuckery induced blogs [Crunk + Disorderly] If you go to any of these and not see anything funny then there is just no hope for you.

Thank The Lord!!!

I finally am getting my car repaired. Thank oh thank the lord!!! now i can finally go out and do stuff worth blogging about. :)

A Random One For You....

Random Thought: Why when people have nose bleeds they hold their heads back? If blood clots on your arm why wouldn't it clot in your nose? I don't think people realize you can't breathe when that happens.....i say let it drain but maybe its just me

A Random One For You....

So lately I have been watching a shitload of cartoons in a wide rage of styles. From classic Nickelodeon Angry Beavers and Invader Zim to Japan's ecchi KissxSis, Speed Grapher and Paradise Kiss (all of these are excellent animes by the way), and Daria ( you know that girl with the glasses that never smile). So I decided to share my joy with the world by uploading a random Daria episode.

Enjoy :D

What Happened to Black Cinima?

 

I freakin' love this movie!!!

When I watch some of my favorite movies with an all black cast I can't help but wonder if our only source for African-American Cinema is Tyler Perry. Is there no hope for us. 

The days of Love Jones and Eve's Bayou seem so far away with all of the Twilight, Harry Potter and even the indie cult movies like Eat Pray Love. I feel as if we are regressing in motion picture entertainment but.....

Maybe its just me

I like....

Florence + the Machine...This is the only song I have heard of hers but I like it and I think the video is very artsy and creative. I'm not knocking Lady Gaga because is love her but this video is out there and it seems more genuine than her antics even tho i firmly believe lady gaga takes her work seriously, i still think there is a gimmicky-fakeness there (with the art not the music).

Idk maybe its just me.....

I Just Find This Funny...

ha ha ha..... :)

Peristence. When Its it Too Much

I


I was on the marta (Atlanta's sorry excuse for a public transit system) and this girl sat in the seat next to me. She and her friend was talking and this old guy kept making attempts to start up a conversation with them. Maybe it was the 5 o'clock shadow on his face or the strange foreign accent but he seemed a little too happy? Oh and looked about 50-ish in age. I don't know why but men just don't seem to get the meaning of the side-eye. If a female gives the side eye back away slowly.... or else.

  I mean I'm very sure it was painfully obvious that these girls was not interested but the attempts continued. He asked about the weather, then the time and then he found a newspaper in one of the seats and asked if they wanted to read it (#areuseruious).

Idk maybe its just me...
