a new beginning

I'm excited-to watch history unfold, to see what decisions are made, and how deeply rooted problems are handled.

This was the most terrifying movie.. to my wallet. Should have watched Blindness. I was so sick afterwards from the bad camera work. *gag

It's finally happened: Sony came out with a new Sony ereader. Woo hoo!

I've been saving up Border's gift cards to get one so they'd better carry the new one the next time I visit!

getting back on track

September 3rd, 2008 (12:46 am)

First things first is I need to stop sleeping so frakin' late! My face is suffering the most, I think. @_@

I'm testing out this scribefire add-on for mozilla. Let's see if this posts correctly.

I want to make my own layout but I'm not sure where I'm supposed to upload the graphics-- and maybe I'm not allowed to unless I'm a paid member. :P

Been trying to workout more. This week is moto class! Woo! Crossing my fingers that I don't drop the bike or anything silly like that. Today I went out and bought a pair of regular calf-high boots for class. I wonder if it matters that it's got a 2-inch heel...

Need to toss some clothes. Seriously.

And need to wear my retainers.

perks of getting older and productive

accomplished

I'm at: home
I feel: accomplished

After waking up on the wrong side of the bed this morning because I accidentally chipped a glass something and felt groggy in general, I somehow managed to gradually get out of it over the course of the day. Starbucks helped, and so did getting some actual work done at work (heh), and of course eating at the mall and doing some shopping didn't hurt. By the time I'd gone to the bank and back home, I felt like I'd accomplished a lot; and after organizing a box of photos and tidying up my room, I felt pretty darn productive.

I noticed that in many of the photos from my youth I looked.... angry. Or at least, I wasn't smiling, which made me look somewhat unpleasant. Ah yes, the perks of being Almost almost 30: with each passing year I feel more comfortable in my own skin. Now if I can just get myself to start working out this week! :P

This weekend will be busy again--Saturday I'm working over-time, and then Sunday my cousin is back home from the army so it's party time. Woo!

F sent me this preview of Burn After Reading. Definitely would like to check it out.

Busy week this week! Time to get some shuteye. Peace!

hooray for mojo!

Thank you [info]mojojoey for filling me in on what happened at the party.

And for dragging me, Superhero-style, to the bathroom. Cuz everyone knows a true friend is the friend who would hold your hair back while you puke a kidney half-passed-out-like.

And was that guy really balding? cuz I don't quite remember what he looks like. >.< LOL



Everyone drive safely! It's gonna be a heck of a rainy week!

birthday weekend

February 18th, 2008 (07:34 pm)

To celebrate my birthday this weekend, I did a lot of lounging, watched Elizabeth: the Golden Age, went to dinner with some friends, went to a lounge for a friend's bday and ended up being carried out and throwing up a kidney or two, slept in, went a another friend's bday party, went to dinner with family, surfed the web and burned stuff, chatted with people, worked out, hung out with Bf.

itchy fingers

February 7th, 2008 (11:46 pm)
I'm at: home

My fingers have been itching to play piano; whether this is related to a recent half-viewing of the Nodame Cantabile special, or the piano battle clip of Jay Chou in Secret, I'm not sure. In any case, I tried playing the old family keyboard and it is just NOT the same. At all. Plus it's missing a whole two octaves at least.

So, on a whim, I decided to take a look at how much a new piano would cost. A decent upright would cost around $3,000. And to even consider getting the "piano-I-will-own-until-I-die" piano--aka a baby grand--would cost anywhere from $4,000 (sketchy if you ask me) to a whopping $11,000. I thought, well hell, why not just get a grand piano then? But those (big) babies can hit 20-30 grand. I don't know if they really make THAT MUCH of a different compared to, say, a $10,000 grand piano, but then again I'm only around level 6 (intermediate). Out of 10 (pro).

You might think, well that's only 4 levels from a 6 to a 10.. You got that far.. How hard can it be? I don't know how they figured out those levels, but I can say that the gap from 1 to 6 is very different from the chasm of 6 to 10. I would aim for an 8 at best unless I could somehow stomach doing nothing but eat, sleep, and play the piano for 10 hours a day.

In short, I can't afford a piano. I could've just said that, but that wouldn't be much of a read, now would it?
