Darn weather.
It is cold here. Cold. It is August. This should not be. I want to enjoy the rest of my summer, thank you. I had my window open last night and my room was freezing this moring. I got my school textbooks Friday. $430 and two were used D: Fucking ripoff. For my Auschwitz class, I have to read Night (which I read in grade 10 and loved), The Diary of Anne Frank and The Reader, and some other junk. I'm looking forward to The Reader.
I don't think I posted about it yet, but I can't believe someone at itai_tegami got that Miya giraffe tattooed on them. Why? I'm sure that's something you'd want on you when you're 40.
Last night we went to this Thai/Vietnamese restaurant close by for dinner. I had Cashew Nut Chicken. Best thing ever? I think so.
Wolf Totem by Jiang Rong
I just finished this tonight. The last chapter was heartbreaking. I'm not an emotional person, but I just wanted to cry. This was an absolutely amazing book and it grabs you right from the first chapter. Kinda like when you get a new CD and you love the first track so much you just want to keep listening to it, but you think, 'I can't, I have a whole album to go through!' It's about students from Beijing who went to live with nomads in Inner Mongolia during the Cultural Revolution and Chen, the main charachter, becomes fascinated with the wolves and their relationship with the people and their spiritual nature and tries to raise a cub. I can't recommend this enough.
New Sound of Kiss video! I love the song, but Zayaa's voice is a little annoying. I don't get why they're dressed all ghetto-like in some scenes, though. Mongolian videos are terrible haha
I love this whole thing, but I started it at the female throat singer. She's amazing :O
I love A You Duo <3
Namgar. They're music is Buriyat and Mongolian mixed with rock and pop. Nomad was a seriously awesome album, regardless of how lame this live looks :P
Okay, this isn't a video but the song is so good.
I dunno if she's from Tibet or Sichuan, or somewhere else, but this video's quite nice.
I only had to work 1-5 this Saturday. If I had had to work 9-5, I would have killed myself. The next Sat I'm at that branch, I have to work 9-5 and help children do crafts D: Ugghhh. But, I couldn't exactly say no.
