the karate kid and other random pop culture references
on friday one of my interviews was canceled, so i went home a little early and decided to wash my car...and since rainy season is coming up, i thought i should maybe wax my car as well. i had bought some car wax a while ago, but had never used it, so after i washed my car, i went to it...the whole time thinking, wax on, wax off. toward the end, my arms got a little tired, so i got a little lazy...you can see a few spots where there are still vestiges of wax on my car, but overall i think i did a fairly decent job for my first time.
the next day, i went down to cerritos to help the songs paint their kids' rooms. and it didn't even hit me until yoon mentioned it...i was in the second stage of karate kid training! so i don't remember what else i hafta do, but i definitely hope to learn the crane kick soon... ;p
so besides that, things have been really good...just hanging out with people, eating well, working on my dissertation. good times, but hard to blog about. i've also not posted anything recently because i've actually been kinda sorta trying to figure out what art doesn't know about me (see blog entry before this), since he's technically known me all my life. couldn't think of anything that 1) i would feel comfortable posting, and 2) wasn't something stupid, like what kind of lotion i use, so i'm still working on it. but i was then thinking, what are some things that most people don't know about me? that was hard, too, 'cuz i like to keep this blog pretty superficial (hey, if you wanna know what's really going on with me, we gotta have some personal interaction). so then i thought about the many people i've encountered that don't even know who evil-lyn (after whom this blogsite is named) was...people that claim to be he-man fans. (yes, that was my thought process for this post).
anyways, i totally remember her from watching saturday morning cartoons way back when it was all about he-man, the smurfs, transformers, gi joe, thundercats, voltron...but for some reason, not a lot of other he-man fans seem to recall her character. maybe i just remember 'cuz of the name...and having that as a nickname in first or second grade, but i thought she was a pretty significant character...
so yeah, that's it. don't know exactly how to end this random post, so i'll just stop. ;p

OK, so assuming that your painting was in the up-down motion, you would need to sand side-to-side, and then of course tend the bonsai tree and catch a fly in your chopsticks.
And of course I remember Evil-Lyn (http://www.he-man.org/cartoon/motu/universe/evil-lyn-1.jpg) but what I never uderstood was how Skeletor had bulging muscles.
i didn't remember evil-lyn! i'm w/ tatonkaride about skeletor's muscles. and aren't he-man and she-ra cousins or something?
aah, catching a fly with chopsticks...i actually know someone who's done that...who was it? i wanna say my bro did it, but i could be completely off...
anyways, yeah, skeletor was such a buff guy for being a living skeleton.
and faetryn, i think you're right...he-man and she-ra were related somehow...
i once thought catching a fly in chopsticks would be cool, but then i did it and it was gross. i needed new chopsticks.
she-ra and he-man were cousins indeed, very good faetryn!
