im so old schoolz

2009-06-11T13:09:00.000-07:00

NYMag's The Cut cracks me up. I don't know why I forget about it all the time. A recent gem:

"God bless Justin Timberlake. Though every celebrity and their unborn child is tweeting, he still enjoys the vintage thrills of blogging. "

I'm feeling all old-school as I write this post.

The beautiful weather in Seattle right now

2009-05-21T10:56:00.000-07:00

The weather forecast for Seattle looks amazing this next week! I'll be down in california for the APS conference. I think seattle's weather is supposed to top the weather in sf. Too bad I'll miss the weather. It's nice to see my house in the sun every once in a while.

Evan loves his oysters!

Public attitudes toward Chinese and Asian Americans

2009-04-28T09:43:00.001-07:00

My mom sent me this. It's the report released a week ago from a survey on public attitudes toward Chinese and Asian Americans among the general US population. This report follows up on a similar survey by the same group (http://www.committee100.org) that was done in 2001.

You can find the whole report here.

A few results listed in the beginning of the report:

Among the general population, 45% believe Asian Americans are more loyal to their countries of ancestry than to the U.S., up from 37% in the 2001 survey.

Among the general population, 44% believe Asian Americans should think in more American ways, and 20% believe Asian Americans do not care what happens to anyone but their own kind.

By using the split sample,the survey shows the majority of the general population cannot make meaningful distinctions between Chinese Americans and Asian Americans in general. This “lumping effect”is the same result as in the 2001 survey. Asian Americans are still seen as one generic ethnic group.

omg my bro has a pic with RPattz

2009-04-27T19:07:00.000-07:00

He doesn't even know who RPattz IS! He didn't even know Twilight was a MOVIE! He also saw Seth Green, and apparently he has Chris Brown's vest from a concert before the Rihanna bashing.

I love that Rob is sticking his tongue out. It is amusing, and goes with the silliness and light-heartedness of the photo.

Twilight obsessed

2009-04-14T13:27:00.000-07:00

From random

When you get a sick sleepy psych student obsessed with the Twilight series, you get dreams where she wakes up having categorized the main characters' romantic attachment style as anxious/ambivalent. Then she starts wondering (in a literally feverish state brought on by her sickness) if all the fans who identify with their love story are also characterized by an anxious/ambivalent romantic attachment style.

Romantic attachment styles from Hazan and Shaver (1987)

Secure: I find it relatively easy to get close to others and am comfortable depending on them and having them depend on me. I don’t often worry about being abandoned or about someone getting too close to me

Avoidant: I am somewhat uncomfortable being close to others; I find it difficult to trust them completely, difficult to allow myself to depend on them. I am nervous when anyone gets too close and often, love partners want me to be more intimate than I feel comfortable being.

Anxious/Ambivalent: I find that others are reluctant to get as close as I would like. I often worry that my partner doesn’t really love me or won’t want to stay with me. I want to merge completely with another person, and this desire sometimes scares people away.

Bad days call for tasty marrow

Yeah it was a rough day yesterday

2009-02-26T14:25:00.000-08:00

I found out there's an article in press that makes very similar
arguments to a paper I've been writing the last few months. C'est la
vie.

To end a bad day, we went to quinn's gastro pub. Evan had a side car.

Flowers are popping up

2009-02-18T18:25:00.000-08:00

I saw some flowers popping out of the ground when I took Buddie for a
walk.

Ooh you're the one that I love

2009-02-13T11:08:00.000-08:00

Ooh ooh ooh honey!

I'm surrounded by pirates!

2009-02-07T08:38:00.000-08:00

The SPSP conference in Tampa, Florida is happening in the midst of a
pirate extravaganza - the Gasparilla festival. After this picture, I
received beads from the pirate next to me. Yay!

Asha makes a good shelf for cat toys

Such fast friends!

2009-01-29T11:27:00.001-08:00

It's amazing how quickly asha adapted to Tungsten. She has already
begun grooming him, and they can nap near each other!

Tungsten up close and personal

What a quirky little face. I love it!

He's moving in!

Tungsten keeps inching closer to Asha. She doesn't seem to mind too much. It makes me hopeful that they're gonna get close sooner than we thought!

Introducing Tungsten

2009-01-21T00:06:00.001-08:00

Our newest little guy. We got him from animal talk rescue in Seattle. His weird little square moustache and his constant attempt to "make muffins" out of air won our hearts. I only teared up twice when we went looking for kitties. I feel bad for the kitty volunteers. One of them asked me if my current kitty was good with other kitties. I started talking about Nikko, and almost started crying. The poor volunteer felt soo bad! Luckily, despite being a bit over emotional, we walked out with a sweetie! We named him Tungsten (runner up names were Zoji (like our rice cooker), Epsilon, Titus, and Achilles). He's the first kitty we have with amber eyes. I found them quite odd/startling to look at initially, but I've gotten used to them. He just looks so serious all the time! I think he kinda looks like a stuffy old professor - but in a cute way.

From lorispeak

He's already met Buddie, and they get along. Asha and he have seen each other a few times, but she mostly has kept away from him. He's such a sweetie, and will just lie on his back snuggling with us when he's tuckered out.
