Went to IKEA the other day for some picture frames, and saw 3 rather attractive Asian women in line who looked like they were sisters. Actually, 2 of them would have been more attactive if they had just left their faces the fuck alone seeing how they obviously had their "eyes done" (complete with that greasy, slightly "stretched" look you see in people who have had plastic surgery that hasn't completely healed yet).

So here you have two beautiful women who felt like they weren't beautiful enough already according to some fucked up beauty standard, so they decided to do "something about it." I wish people would realize that the things that make them different are often the things that make them so beautiful...

*sigh*

It made me unspeakably sad.

Greetings and salutations, and a happy V-Day and Gung Hay Fat Choy to all!

Celebrated yesterday by having an old friend and her BF over for CNY. It was funny....when we went to the kitchen to show her the view, it was like someone took an eraser and rubbed the whole skyline out, LOL. Considering how a couple of weeks ago it was in the 50s and sunny we should have lucked up and got better weather but no...it's Chinese New Year and for some reason weather always suck on that day.

So we walk to the parade site and we got there just in time to see the parade start....at the end of the route. I hate that because at the end of the route there's always people who are too tired to perform, but I was pleasantly surprised. Even the dragon and the lion were jamming, but unfortunately not as hard as a few years back when the Dragon (obviously channeling Dean: BIG BROTHER AL-MIGHT-TY!) stopped dead in the middle of the street and did something that looked suspiciously like the Tootsie Roll and a dance that can only be described as someone trying to do that dance where you go under that stick, but with a HUGE amount of groin slingage. How they even managed to do that and STILL hold on to the dragon sticks and stay covered....the world will never know. The Lion, being no slouch, followed up with a step routine that would have made any Alpha Phi Alpha proud but whatever, I guess the powers that be had a long long talk with them about ....decorum so even though the crowd cheered for more I doubt if we will be seeing that again.

They had all the regular floats, like the Miss Chinatown float, the People-Who-Adopt-from-China March, a politician float, the band marches, the Irish guys with the bagpipes, Ronald McDonald-in-a-big-ass shoe float and all the other goodies, but the most darling are the kids-from-the-neighborhood-school march, where they make little flags and shields depicting China and wave them about shouting "Gung hay fat choy!"

At least, that's what they should be saying.

Yesterday, when the children passed by, it sounded like fully half of them were saying what they were supposed to (ie: "Gung hay fat choy"). The other half (who admittely were younger) were saying something else. Something that sounded horribly like "Hey. You. Fat. Whore!"

At first I thought I was hearing things, but then I looked at Kupo and he gave me a wicked grin and looked like he wanted to laugh, so I gave him a sharp pinch and whispered to Ronin "doesn't it sound like the kids are saying something else?" and when HE listened closely and looked like he wanted to laugh I knew I wasn't imagining things.

At least we were a little bit better than the guys next to us. They were practically rolling on the street laughing.

But right after the parade the sky opened up and pissed all over us with a nasty, drizzling sleet, so we got cold and went to the bakery and Ichiban, got something to eat and went home. And even though my friend had to go home earlier than what she anticipated, we still had a good time.

Now it's V-day and even though we've been promised a nice 50 degrees, it's 37, windy and cloudy. So I'll just wish all the couples I know a happy V-day and all the singles too. I know society makes it a drag on this day to be single (as if there's something wrong with that? NOT) but self-love is an important thing. There's people all over the world who don't love themselves that think a mate is the answer to their prayers. I'm sorry, but it's not, and self-love is an important thing, so pamper the FUCK out of yourselves tonight, singles! Take whatever amount of money you would have spent on a BF or GF, spend it on you, and make sure it's something completely decadent you wouldn't have otherwise bought for yourself.

Embraced my inner nerd today by completing changing the icons of almost all my applications (especially the Adobe Creative Suite ones; God, what was Adobe THINKING when they made those?) so they would all look pretty sitting in the dock. Also noticed that after installing all of the software that I use, my font collection and other refinements my HD has 70 gig free. It was at the 60 gig free point when the other HD died. Damn. What the HELL did I have on there that took up damn near 10 gigs of space?

Picked up SH4 The Room the other day and started playing, only to be too frightened to leave the room after I found the hole! Which is sad, because from what I've heard the game isn't THAT scary. Hmmm. Maybe playing a night had something to do with it. So I popped that out and started playing Kingdom Hearts again, which I've been avoiding since I'm in Atlantis, which is my least fav part of the game. Hate Atlantis. Hate Ursula, nasty slap-happy slag. Hate happy dolphin that you have to hunt down and practically bitch-slap to get a lift. Hate sneaky snakes that roam around and smack you whenever you come near Ursula, even after you beat the crap out of them and they are just floating there. Have crappy AIs so that even though you have Donald set to only dole out Potions in cases of extreme emergency, he will STILL toss a potion your way even if your health gage is on full, get smacked once and are nowhere near dying (for some reason, this ONLY happens in Atlantis, in other places he's fine and you hope like hell he will toss you a potion before you get killed). And most of all, I hate the fact that they have that damn song "Under the Sea" on CONSTANT ROTATION all the time you are there just to drive you stark raving mad! GRRRRR!

Lurks:
Lumi,
Actionscripting.org,
IRC channels of friends.
Applause: Lots of things, but being yourself no matter what, good design, anime, good books, videogames, foreign films, relaxing, and water are at the top. Now for those of you who find this list boring, bear in mind I could have said I liked sunrises and walks on the beach.
Tomatoes: Too many to mention, but arrogance, judgemental people and those who just don't give a damn rate high on the list. Have you noticed how some can dish it out, but get pissed off if someone treated them the same way they treat others?
Layout whorage bought to you by: Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust. I LOVED this movie, so much better than the first one IMO. This is partly a screencap of the beginning of the DVD mixed in with some menacing trees and other refinements. Ah, the miracle and wonders of Photoshop, but anyways, I figured that it would be fitting, since an archive is a graveyard of sorts.
