Milli Vanilli

... The Opera!  Although the description is kind of confusing.  And there will be no actual Milli Vanilli songs in it.  I am so disappointed that there will not be an operatic version of "Blame It on the Rain."

iPersonic

Have you taken this personality test?  Only five questions, and among people I know, it's been surprisingly accurate (with a couple notable exceptions all in the "Analytical Thinker" category).  I am a "Harmony-Seeking Idealist," which seems to match up pretty well with my Myers-Briggs INFJ results.

Rory and Paris

Put aside your dreams of Jess, that human sneeze; let Logan sail away on his yacht of indifference into the sunset: Rory/Paris are endgame.

The Story of "Baby Got Back"

Curated

I don't really get the word "curated" when applied to people's homes.  The Oxford English Dictionary defines the verb "to curate" as "to select, organize, and look after the items in (a collection or exhibition)."  So... doesn't everyone select, organize, and look after the items in their home?  What is a "curated" home, then?

Paper Tigers

Interesting (long) article about the Asian American experience.

While he was still an electrical-­engineering student at Berkeley in the nineties, James Hong visited the IBM campus for a series of interviews. An older Asian researcher looked over Hong’s résumé and asked him some standard questions. Then he got up without saying a word and closed the door to his office.
“Listen,” he told Hong, “I’m going to be honest with you. My generation came to this country because we wanted better for you kids. We did the best we could, leaving our homes and going to graduate school not speaking much English. If you take this job, you are just going to hit the same ceiling we did. They just see me as an Asian Ph.D., never management potential. You are going to get a job offer, but don’t take it. Your generation has to go farther than we did, otherwise we did everything for nothing.”
