Most people reading this know me, but in case you don't, here's the lowdown so far: I'm Elaine - I'm an Asian American expat brat who first moved out of the States at 4 & first hit up China at 13. Since then, I've been in & out of New York & Shanghai, mostly blogging.

Things I've got:
Twitter | Last.fm | Flickr | Shanghaiist | Elaine is Eating

Stuff I focus on a lot, categorized:
Girl Talk - feminism & women's issues
Food Talk - food & cooking
China - it's a big place
Elaine Talk - personal internet journal

I’m currently trying to concentrate on finishing a powerpoint presentation about “Gen X Leadership” which, as a topic, I find to be completely *jerk off motion*.

But my own misgivings about trying to throw corporate speak on any type of “generation gap” isn’t what’s distracting me. Rather, I’ll be searching up a picture of a Gen X representative, click into his or her media page, and then find out that… say… before a multi-platinum career as a girl power soft rock songstress, they were called the “Debbie Gibson of Canada,” opening for Vanilla Ice with their hit dance-pop single “Too Hot.”

I don’t know how I never found out about this before - I guess I stopped listening to Alanis Morissette before Wikipedia was invented.

Obligatory: Too hot in Canada? Is that like lukewarm everywhere else?
