jozjozjoz is a taiwanese-american gal who lives and blogs underneath the hollywood sign and who doesn’t clean her fishtank unless the fish starts to do the backstroke. she is also able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, but cannot stop from bumping into door handles, cabinet doors, and anything else that protrudes or has a sharp edge. she does not run with scissors for this same reason. she can pet the fur off a dog but don’t ask her to go anywhere near a horse. or a moth. or a roach. her dealings with L.A.’s finest (aka the parking violations department) are legend, as are her giant sneezes. Other than the two too many joz’s, jozjozjoz is a perfectly normal, relatively sane individual who defies the odds, reaches for the stars, and carries moonbeams home in a jar. She’d rather be a fish… but not in her own dirty fishtank. http://www.jozjozjoz.com

The Muppets Take Over Bollywood?
Walt Disney Studios UK created a trailer voiced by South Asian American actor Sunil Malhotra, where Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy and the rest of The Muppet gang seem to be singing and dancing to a big Bollywood musical number. Too bad, it’s a just a spoof trailer for The Muppets film. Oh well, maybe this trailer can plant the seeds so that the next Muppet movie can actually take the Muppets to Bollywood. I [...] Continue »
