Danny ChaiYogurt alert: the whole milk Brown Cow yogurt is currently $0.75 at Whole Foods. $0.75! That’s a great deal for people who appreciate rich, good yogurt. I bought 15.
Jieun and I have been watching the remastered Robotech DVDs. You have no idea how happy that makes me. I’ve said this countless times, but Robotech was an important influence on me in my childhood. However, I haven’t actually watched the series straight in a long time, and watching now I’m reminded of why it resonated so strongly with me. Apart from the obvious attraction of transforming robots.
For one, I see clearly now that I’ve always wanted to be Maximilian Sterling. Self-effacing, kind of a nerdy, glasses wearing guy, doesn’t like being in the forefront, but is the ultimate wingman. That’s pretty much my ideal role in everything, what I’ve wanted to be. Plus his wife is hot, just like mine. Woo.
I’m also remembering how compelling the Rick-Minmei-Lisa love triangle was to me as a kid. Thing is, I didn’t identify with Rick – I identified with Lisa. Not that I was ever involved in any love triangle, but I resonated with the spirit of her character, the sensible, capable, but kind of boring one always being overlooked in favor of the charismatic, attractive, but empty one. I still resonate with her character in a lot of ways.
Anyway, yeah, it makes me exceedingly happy that Jieun is watching it and understanding a part of my childhood. And it’s sticking too. We went to Costco and got these enormous bottles of juice and Jieun says, “who is this for, Zentraedi?” That pretty much made my day.
