Rachel says: This is Aimi (left, BC Roll) and Camellia (right, Green Tea). Aimi and her cat, Wasabi, currently live in Vancouver, British Columbia, where Aimi attends Emily Carr. Camellia, who goes to the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, is up for a visit. They spend their time together collaborating on ideas for movie scripts and graphic novels, in the hopes that one day they will be rich and famous. Aimi loves to go for long walks through Stanley Park, and to Instagram pictures of her food. If anything is particularly delicious, she will also text pictures to all her friends, with all-caps captions like “BE JEALOUS”. She loves thrift-store shopping and watching old sitcoms. Camellia’s favourite thing in the world is poutine; she mourns the dearth of poutine in California nearly daily on her Twitter. She has a long standing love of Archie comics, and collects them to do this day. She hates socks.

I mean, if you can only spend your calories in one place, what would you rather have: a bag of peanut M&M’s or a stupid can of pop? Well, thanks to diet soda, we no longer have to deal that unthinkable Sophie’s Choice. We can drink our calorie-free chemicals, then chow down on a Kit Kat….Fake soda and us, best friends forever.

“There have been previous rumors about Apple building an iCar, but it now seems that instead of building the vehicle themselves, they have partnered with Volkswagen to help create the iBeetle. The car, which Volkswagen says was designed in coordination with Apple, boasts integration with the iPhone through Volkswagens iBeetle app, which provides access to entertainment and diagnostic functions.”

Note from 2022 Rachel: And to think we got a friends reunion all those years later.
Rachel: http://www.starmedia.us/entertainment/nbc-confirms-friends-new-comeback-season-reunion.html … Wait, wtf. “It’s still unknown if the original actors will accept NBC’s deal, but the dream of “Friends” reunion is closer than ever!” Why would they even talk about doing this without the original cast?
