It is amazing what switching your Adium status from various versions of "busy" and "working" to "available" can do for you. If I'd known this meant I'd catch up with friends with whom I don't have a long email chain relationship with, then I'd done it sooner (of course, this all hinges upon one's availability while working, as that's the only time I'm really on Adium). Well, the few days of lull that I'd enjoyed before another waterfall of work was indulged in a healthy amount of reading, Wong Fu Productions watching (Philip Wang you gorgeous cute cute man), and an afternoon of chatting all made me wonder why I chose for life to be a series of battles, instead of well, basking. Of course, this so says the girl, who with a few days of lull, went around the office brief in panic, whispering, "ahh, I'm kind of bored." My boss is a genius. I have been programmed to think overtime is norm, and feel guilty when I'm in between projects. His ability in general in allowing us to take ownership in the company impresses me, if it wasn't for the fact that most of the time we're running around like blind bees trying to complete a project. I wish I could have had a serious conversation with him today when we talked about the future direction of the company, but my brain was too fixed on a not-yet-finished proposal downstairs, and all the details that needed to be kneaded, and all the tasks that needed to be delegated.
But instead of work and men (which is all I talk about in this personal blog, who the hell still keeps a person blog btw), I'd like to talk about Wong Fu Productions real quick. I want to talk about how they are genius and great not because they necessary do spectacular work (although, in some respects, they do, and they're like, how old?), but because their choice of work is niche and fulfills a market need that is so obvious, and because they are so genuine, and their work so positive, and relatable. Love, at a level with issues that we can all identity, laid out in laymen terms, none of this artsy bullshit. All of this in the backdrop of the Asian-American life, bam, genius. I always watch these So-Cal kids with envy, thinking it would have been wonderful to have belonged in a crew of nerdy Asians. My So-Cal friends have had opinions otherwise, but WFP paints a picture that is clearly too idyllic for my own good. All a girl needs is a Phil Wang. I have no idea why I'm still not tired of ABCs.
The whole point of this entry was to write a few poetic lines about a friend, who I just had a conversation about life and love, but I just got way too tired. This entry is also delirious because my brain is fried from 16+ hours of work today... and I'm vomiting words to decompress and lighten the weight. Cheers cheers.
Till next time, I'll tell you a story of a friend.
