*Update*
Just found the name of the ice cream truck! It’s Coolhaus, check them out!

An adorable miniature ice cream truck came to set to serve ice cream sandwiches.
I got a “tao tea” (green tea) ice cream with ginger cookies. The photo below is a chocolate ice cream sandwich with ginger cookies, wrapped in an edible potato paper with “Little Fockers” printed on it!
Erich Segal passed away two days ago. Segal wrote the book, Love Story, which later became the Oscar-winning 1970 film. He suffered a heart attack in his home in London.
Why I’m writing about Segal? My mom loved this film so much that she named me after the main girl

He was 72. Read more at BBC.

*UPDATE: This morning I drove by Lankershim. A day after the protest, the sidewalk and bushes were lined with coffee cups, wet paper signs, plastic bags, and other trash … still.
JANUARY 18, 2010:
Went out to check out the Conan protest at Universal.
I didn’t go down the whole Lankershim street, but saw this at just the corner of Gate 2:
(PS: I’m all for Conan in this matter, but the embarrassing part is that NBC is much more environmentally-friendly than this.)
Okay, one more blog for the weekend!
Yulia Brodskaya, a designer and amazing typographic artist! I love her portfolio site. If you’re into any kind of design, check out her work. The ones seen above are made from paper!
I think this is one of the paths that typography and graphic design will be going toward this year, with these kinds of details, colors, and illustrations you’ll see on her site.

I found this pretty interesting. I was randomly searching for random photos of affordable home design and came across two that caught my eye. The above photo caught my eye because of the tunnel-like open air layout and its sustainability. But then I saw the one below:
What these two have in common is the unfinished-wood style. But after seeing the second photo, the first one looks a bit too unfinished. All the sections blend into each other. With the second photo, it is still simple and modern, but just seems more appealing with the white walls, blue countertop, even that orange-red bowl.
If you click on the second photo, you’ll see more photos where they continue the wood/orange/white/blue palette theme. With the first, the only contrast is with the mossy green, but it doesn’t seem contrasty enough with the wood.
Just found that interesting, that focusing on a complex layout can compromise the right color scheme.
Matthew Ames is a conceptual designer who designed the following in these pics. All I “knows” is that I love the black-and-white color contrast.
Fun mind-bending photos! This illusion is called the “Droste effect”. Click here to see more.
My sister and I made dolmas when we were home for Christmas. My dad gave our next-door neighbors some Asian pears. In return, we got chicken tamales from the Lopez family and fresh halibut and salmon from the Andersons.
Ok, enough negative updates on Facebook. Why didn’t I know about this sooner?! The next World Cup (South Africa!) will be recorded on 3D cameras! So I’m a little behind on the news, but this is fascinating. Is 3D finally catching on? Okay, dumb statement after hearing about Avatar every day.
Anyways, I have got to find a way to check out the next World Cup in 3D. Supposedly coming this year, networks like DirecTV will be installing 3D outlets that will correlate with new 3D TV’s (that way people will have something to watch on their 3D TV’s). All I ask for is that this better not make me dizzy and jarring. They should make 3D disposable glasses that can fit around regular glasses….
