Mysterious illnesses have struck my impregnable body. ("Impregnable" looks like it means "not able to be made pregnant," which I am.) I think it's an allergic reaction and/or a fungal infection. I haven't had weird crap like this happen to me since I was in Central America. I imagine that back in the tropics, the hot and humid conditions and the stress of living on the move were the main culprits. I'm not so sure what's going on right now... It's a mystery!
Kelly Who?
Yesterday, as I was leaving the library, I saw a big ruckus outside Royce Hall... What was the commotion? The Asian Excellence Awards! Celebrities! Asians! Hahaha... So with my inner teenage girl awakened, I positioned myself near the red carpet... My original intentions were to see three individuals: Yun Jin Kim from Lost, Kelly Who? Kelly Hu!, and Hiro from Heroes. (I have just recently gone on a Heroes marathon, so my interest was piqued to see the man who could bend both time and space.) So I waited and waited, and yeah, I saw a bunch of celebrities, but the Big Three were not there... Sadness.
Anyway, who did I see? In no particular order, here they are: Harold (girls love this John Cho fellow for some reason), Kumar, the Korean from Survivor, the Korean from The Apprentice,
Kenny G, Quentin Tarantino, Margaret Cho, Daniel Dae Kim from Lost (his crappy Korean makes me cringe when compared to the beautiful Korean Ms. Yun Jin Kim speaks), the black chick who's apparently Asian from Dreamgirls, Russell Peters, Sanjaya (he has a mesmerizing smile...I'm serious), and a bunch of other people I had no idea were famous. Hahaha...
So, in defeat, I watched as the final celebrities walked into the auditorium... The crowds (if you can call them that) died, and I decided to get going...when this guy comes out and asks if the students would like to get in for free. Hahaha... I thought, "Why not?" and there I was, on the balcony about to watch an awards show for the first time in my life.
Apparently, the show hadn't generated enough buzz, and there were LOTS of empty seats. Because they were televising the awards show, they needed to fill the auditorium. The easy solution was to fill the seats with students. Hahaha... In my usual attire (shorts and flip-flops), I stood out like no other. Good thing I was wearing a collared shirt... Hahaha...
Anyway, I saw some more celebrities: Chow Yun-Fat, Tia Carrere (how old is she now?), Maggie Q (the chick from Mission Impossible 3), Rob Schneider, some sushi chef, some Chinese designer, etc. Hahaha...
My overall impression? The awards show looked unprofessional. Everyone presenting awards didn't know what they were doing. They relied way too much on the teleprompters; the dialogue sounded really contrived and awkward. My biggest thing was that all the losers for each respective award didn't show up! Hence, no Yun Jin Kim and Kelly Hu! (Hiro won his award for best actor in a television series, but he unfortunately could not make it... Freakin' Hiro! You expect more from a man who can bend time and space... His TV father accepted on his behalf.)
After the show, I went to the after-party and I hooked up with Tia Carrere. Hahahaha... Joke!
