Beauty.
Had a freak-out moment today when I passed time between buses in Anthropologie. I thought I would look for pretty shirts I could wear with suits (so that I can stand out in a workplace setting), and I did find some that were stunning. I take back everything I said about rosettes; when they're done tastefully, they can really jazz up a plain ( Read more... ) -
Anger.
I hate how angry I can get. I usually keep it to myself, then let it out in some healthy way, like working out or playing music or art or writing. That's healthy, and it keeps other people from getting hurt. I never want to hurt anyone. I want my rages to be contained - when I feel like smashing and howling and murdering and giving my hands ( Read more... ) -
I just have one of those faces...
I first noticed it with Japanese people. They LOVE telling white people which Hollywood actor/actress they remind them of, and the results can be great or disastrous. When I met my first Japanese friend, she told me that her mother thought that I looked like Tom Cruise. I think it was the short hair, because later on I was given a new celebrity ( Read more... ) -
Audiophile Alert.
Okay, I've calmed down since my anti-otaku tirade...installing Windows 7 really helped with that, actually. I love making things work and look better.
For anyone looking to broaden their music horizons, I present you with the Internet's gift: http://rcrdlbl.comThis website offers new tracks from some well-known (and a ton of lesser-known) artists ( Read more... ) -
その人たちを嫌くなった。
I think that studying Japanese to the point that I've gotten it, as well as going to Japan for a while, has irreversibly changed how I feel about the whole language/country. It also has changed how I feel about the otaku here at home, which sounds painfully hypocritical since I used to be part of that crowd. In Nate's words, I know how sausage is ( Read more... ) -
Inspiration
This week, for some reason, I've been reading a lot of articles online (admittedly, old fashion articles) about Lady Gaga. I don't know whether I'm a fan of her music or not (I LOVE making fun of Poker Face, because when I hear it I honestly think she's saying, "Pu-pu-pu-poker face fu-fu-fuck her face"), and I can't say I agree with every fashion ( Read more... ) -
Hurrrrrr...
Starting Christmas Day, my stash of cash is in trouble. Hollywood has picked up two of my favourite things ever, and mashed them together. Yes, the Sherlock Holmes movie (in case you don't know, I've had sexy dreams about Sherlock Holmes since I was about 10), starring Robert Downey Jr. (I think he's back at sex-symbol status, especially with ( Read more... ) -
Trendy or true?
I'm going to start having this hobby. It's been floating around in my brain for the past week or so, but I think it would be fun to get good at ( Read more... ) -
島唄
My horoscope for today (yes, I occasionally read these things):
"The more beautiful the bird, the poorer the singer," wrote L.M. Boyd. "Peacocks scream, macaws screech, Birds of Paradise croak." Among the most interesting singers, on the other hand, are birds that are far less spectacular in appearance: the Black-capped Chickadee, the Willow ( Read more... )
