I dyed my hair last night again. The last time I dyed it, the colour was amazing for about a week, and then it faded to a boring kind of yellowish-orange. I bought this stuff because it's supposed to last a long time, but it turned out way too dark. I think the secret is to never wash my hair, and to stop it from growing somehow. Or maybe to pay ( Read more... )

Good day today! Watched the E3 demo of Spore, ate breakfast, went on epic bike ride.

My bike ride went to Gastown first to look at clothes, and then to HMV to buy DVDs (I bought Doctor Who's "The Talons of Weng Chiang," Godzilla vs. Mothra, and Mulholland Drive [which happens to be my favorite movie of all time].), and then across the Burrard ( Read more... )

I made Zaru Soba for dinner last night. The first (and last) time I had it was in a Japanese restaurant in Hong Kong, but I've never seen it at a restaurant here. Easy to make, and yummy ( Read more... )

Oh my god, I totally owned Baby Got Back at karaoke tonight. I got handshakes and back-slaps from total strangers afterwards.

It was SO WINDY this morning! It was like biking through oatmeal, except less messy.

Yesterday was good. I watched the new Doctor Who and a few episodes of Supernatural (I want badly to like it, but I haven't been able to yet) and then Happy Together, starring Tony Leung, Leslie Cheung, with a bit of Chen Chang. Holy hot manfest. ( oh, okay, I'll spoiler-cut it )

Heh. I haven't been on the computer in 5 days and my friendslist is at skip=200. Oy. So that's why I haven't been commenting or anything, and I'm skimming over lots of stuff.

It's been fun, but it's nice to be home.

More later.

p.s. No seriously, hipgunslinger's karaoke renditions are SOLID GOLD. HOLY FUCK.

Cool: a Darmok DictionaryOur office Christmas party was last night. I was here for 12 hours yesterday. UGH. Good part: the ladies from head office gave me my Christmas bonus, which is even bigger (50% bigger, in fact) than it was last year. Also, being antisocial with Toren. Bad part: square old people, and yucky middle-of-the-road hors d' ( Read more... )

Karaoke Birthday was tonight. It was great. My friends are the best. Yvonne made me a cake that said "IT'S A TRAP!" on it (pictures to follow later), and she and Janet got me a tea set and some Pu-Erh tea and a lewd chopstick holder. Ang Hold knitted me a scarf - it's blue and white striped and reminds me of a Hogwarts scarf of an imaginary ( Read more... )
