Remember when....  

In my seemingly old age, I would like to reminisce on those days of yore

• Cars only had two brake lights?
• Television would show cartoons on weekday mornings before school?
• Head & Shoulders only came in one 'flavour'?
• You had to 'be kind and rewind'?
• It seemed impossible to fill up your new 50meg hard drive?
• Your parents shelled out big bucks for that set of encyclopedias?
• Cassette singles were '5 for $10' at HMV?
• Legos only came in square shapes?
• Cereal box toys were cool?
• There were toys in cereal boxes?
• CD's came in those freakishly large boxes?
• Parking meters in NYC accepted nickels and dimes?

Update?

Coming soon...maybe

Update?

You wish! 

Things...

Things that amuse and confuse aiya:

• Why silly people insist on selling chopsticks in stores such as Claire's
• Why I park on a driveway and drive on a parkway
• Why there is a lock on 7-11's doors if they are open 24 hours
• Why that 5th dentist doesn't like Trident gum
• Why is it that a bird can fly...but a fly can't bird
• How come we can pick our friends, and we can pick our noses, but we cannot pick our friends' noses
• If television cameras have round lenses, then why are television screens square

Smile!

Things that make aiya smile:

• The opening credits to Top Gun
• Chinatown Ice Cream Factory
• New rice cookers
• Air-conditioned subway cars
• Apple.com
• Shopping for office supplies
• Acting like a FOB
• Symmetry
• The empty streets of NYC during holidays
• My

Ew....

I stepped on a rat today...

Be like Aiya...

Here are things you can do to be just like Aiya:

• Swallow a fly. Don't do it on purpose. Let it be an accident like it was for me. While breathing through your mouth at a stinky location a fly WILL enter and be swallowed. Just don't let it happen twice...like it did to me.
• Wave back at people who are hailing cabs on the street. Just walk up in front of them, smile, wave and say "hi!"
• Find any excuse to park or drive on the sidewalk. Look for spots that are blocked by double parked delivery trucks so you can jump that curb to get in from the other side. Shop at stores that have no available and legal parking in front so you can just hop onto the sidewalk and leave it there for ten minutes. The best part will be the looks on the faces of the pedestrians as you barrel towards them with two and a half tons of metal.
• Impress women with your tendancy to belt out Disney tunes in the car. Quietly sit back, relax and listen to them shuffle through and sing along to a myriad of tracks and at the last minute subconsiously blurt out, "But still I cannot see if the savage one is me!"
• Bestow your friends with sexy sexy photos of yourself whenever possible...i.e.:
