Viva la Formosa!


Next week I'll be in Taiwan eating lychee and stinky tofu until I pop! (Also, I will hopefully be able to find Eddie Peng. And marry him.)

Al & Tipper

This morning while I was eating cabbage for breakfast, I read that Al and Tipper Gore had officially split up. I feel oddly heartbroken over this news; as opposed to other celebrity couples that are so magazine-cover glossy, Al and Tipper always seemed so real. I remember watching their passionate kiss on TV in 2000—as a 14-year-old I was carried away by the romance of it all.

A little better than a fist bump

When couples like Jon&Kate or Heidi&Spencer, or even Brad&Jen break up, it never seems like too big of a deal because the relationships are so public that they seem shallow. As someone who was raised on fairy tales and Disney movies (and cabbage), it’s disheartening to think that two people can be together for 40 years, raise 4 children, and still fall out of love.

I suppose I'll do what I always do when I start doubting love, and turn to strawberry ice cream and The Princess Bride.
