Me and my girl

I love this brown-eyed girl. She is forever my heart.

I (heart) Paper Heart

Last night, we watched the cutest film called Paper Heart. It's about comedienne/musician/artist Charlyne Yi's quest to find answers to what most eludes her: love. She travels across the country, from Las Vegas and Los Angeles to Nashville and Oklahoma City, interviewing everyone--friends, strangers, scientists, preschoolers, bikers, single people, gay couples, married folks who have been together for years-- asking, "Does true love really exist?"

Twenty-four year-old Charlyne doesn't know if she's ever been in love, or ever will be. Along the way, she meets and unexpectedly falls for tween poster boy Michael Cera (of "Superbad," "Juno" and "Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist" fame). We follow them through the awkward get-to-know-you phase and tag along on various dates. It's obvious they have chemistry. Very cute.

The filmmakers describe the movie as a "hybrid documentary" (or mockumentary) and you wonder what parts are real and what parts are contrived. Does Charlyne play a fictionalized version of herself? Are the people she interviews reading from a script or speaking from the heart? Perhaps the big question is, "Are Charlyne and Michael really falling in love?"

It's cute. Fun. Super creative. I heart Paper Heart. Maybe you will, too.

South Korean sailors: RIP

Forty-six South Korean sailors were killed in the sinking of a warship on March 26 and today, families of the victims mourned the dead. A very sad occasion for a very troubling event. The South Korean government suspects their North Korean brothers are responsible. But even if President Lee Myung-Bak finds evidence of North Korea's involvement, he's in a pickle: his country is walking on eggshells with an unpredictable dictator like Kim Jong-Il.

What will happen next in the country of my forefathers? The chapter unfolds...

Why I'm glad I'm not a pig

We visited the farm this week and met this sow. Look at her. She had just given birth to 11 (yes, ELEVEN) piglets. The poor thing is just lying there, probably from utter (and udder) exhaustion. Can you imagine simultaneously nursing a dozen babies? I prefer to do it one at a time, thank you very much.
