It was so cold outside yesterday. We went to my aunt and uncle's and I sat outside with jeans, a sweater and goosebumps. We even had to put a heater on at one point lol. That is crazy for being August.

Anyways, they recently got back from a cruise that went to Denmark, Russia, Estonia, Poland and some Scandanavian places. They said it was amazing. They bought a beer mug from Poland for my grandpa (they're not really my aunt and uncle, just close friends of the family) and told my mom to tell him to go back because he'd be proud of what it's like there now. They bought a Matryoshka doll and a replica Fabergé egg from Russia. They were both so cool.

I decided to go back to uni again. I really couldn't afford to lose the medical coverage or risk not finding a second job. So, I have another two years of German to suffer through :( I have no idea how I'm going to make n between buildings in just 10mins though :/ That should be a challenge.

Cake Boss >>> Ace of Cakes. As much as I enjoy watching Ace of Cakes for Duff and the rest of them, the cakes the Cake Boss bakery makes are so much better, even if the people are all really obnoxious.

( Meme away! )

Agh, my life is so boring. I might just read most of tomorrow since I don't work. Crap, I need to get my uni books, too.

Hopefully the next entry will be better than this one lol.

Ugh Canada's Next Top Model finished tonight. Nikita did not win like I wanted, but at least Linsay didn't win.

My profile finally has some substance to it 8D I'm unhappy with it though; I don't like how it's set up or something. So, I'll probably change the text over the next few days.

Reply to this meme by yelling "Words!" and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your LJ and explain what they mean to you.

( lem0nlight gave me my words: )

The new Sound of Kiss song and video is disappointing, especially the song. The video's lame, but so was their other one, although this is worse. I mean, they all look good, but that doesn't help the fact that the song goes absolutely nowhere D:

But, you know was is awesome? BX's new-ish album. He has a pretty good voice and the album has a good sound to it. I LOVE this song, which I encourage you all to DL: Луйврын хот feat Агиймаа, Quiza. A good line up of artists there.

And what is this? Gazette not sucking? Yeah, DIM's pretty good. Ruki's voice still irritates me and he still sounds like he did back during Madara. I need to do a music post or something... I hate my random ramblings 'bout stuff.

We booked our hotel for New York. That'll be a fun 10 hour drive D: I don't know if I want to go to the Museum of Natural History or the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Oh my god I love this video and all it's cheesiness. Kinda how I loved that Beijing Huang Yi Ni song lol. It's kinda like that with various artists. The part with the old lady actually made me LOL. She just stares and nods at the guy. But, some of those singers are horrendous. I coulda found them better ones, but they were probably going for artists who are notable/made some impact on the music scene... but man D:

It's official. The new Alexisonfire album is awesome. S'all I need to say about that. They're on Warped Tour this year, but I don't think I'd ever go to that.

A-Mei Chang's new album is really, really good. I like her so much better as a rock artist, rather than pop. There's something about her voice I'm not too big on, but it's not like it's bad or anything. I was very surprised with this album, gladly.

Looks like we're going to New York in a few weeks. My sister's been dying to go. She wants to see Central Park and various John Lennon sites and leave some flowers on his memorial site. I'm looking forward to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and maybe Kinokuniya.

So yeah, I have this shit-tastic semester schedule:
Mon, Wed: 4-5:20
Tues: 11:30-12:50, 1-2:20, 2:30-3:50, 7-9:50
Thurs: 11:30-12:50, 1-2:20, 2:30-3:50
Starting September I can't work at the second library and lord knows what I'll be able to work at my library, as my school hours are right during the page shifts D:

I've been kinda talking to my parents about going away to school. They're not against it, but aren't really talking about it with me and it's bugging me. There's a lot we have to find out to help me make my decision and see if it's even a good idea to go, or if I'd be able to go. Sometimes, I think I really want to go, and others I feel like I'd miss too much here, or be unhappy there. I'd miss rocking out to classic rock with my sister and China has that stupid firewall and scary government. But, I almost think I need to go. Hohhot looks so lovely and the university has great programs.

( Stealing memes )

First Ed McMahon, then Farrah Fawcett, then Michael Jackson and now Billy Mays!? Jesus... It's almost just like who's gonna be next? And then there's Jon and Kate getting a divorce D: I mean, I kinda expected it, but it's still really sad. Poor kids. Last week's episode really made me hate Jon, though. I know Kate can be a huge bitch n' stuff, but he's just a huge douchebag.

Lots of good music has been coming out and I've been finding lots, too. Alexisonfire's new album came out Tuesday, which I was very excited for. I'm really liking it. It's different for them, but has a great sound. This band called Namgar I am in love with. Their album Nomad is really awesome. It reminds me of what I expected Altan Urag to sound like. The whole folk-rock thing. I definitely recommend that album! HMV finally had Utada's This is the One in stock. I enjoyed most of it. Another good Aira Mitsuki single, new Shiina Ringo album, Jasmine's single was good, Tsubakiya Shijuusou, new A-Mei album, a flood of circle, the new Girls' Generation mini-album and I also listened to two Korean rap artists. I don't like rap or 99.7% of Korean music, so idk what that was about. One's a chick who's lyrics are apparently pretty dirty, and the other's the fastest rapper in the world. I still have stuff to go through, but I won't get to it yet.

I bought the Sims 3 ♥ I love the improvements from the Sims 2. Like, it doesn't take forever to go outside your lot anymore. The hair styles and building/decorative items are still sucky, though :/

The other day I was making lunch and my sister asked me what I was making from another room. "Toast with peanut butter," I said. She replied with, "omg!" Confused, I ask, "what?" And she was like, "You're 19!" So, according to my sister, 18 is the cut-off point for eating toast with peanut butter. Now you know. Hahaha.

Canada Day Wednesday! No work! 8D

Today was my dog's birthday. The big 1-2. Poor thing, all she does is sleep all day. Hopefully that preserves her lol.

Ya know, for Family Guy being such a hilarious show, American Dad is terrible. I've seen it a handful of times when nothing else has been on and I never laugh.

I finished Haruki Murakami's Norwegian Wood tonight. Honestly, I was pretty bored for about the first half, but after that it was excellent. The story really surprised me, and the characters all had a lot of backstory and defining personalities. Yeah, I wasn't expecting a lot of what happened. Another great read. Actually, it's a pretty dark novel. Not like his others are fun times, but I felt this one really was like that. As I was reading, there's this part where Toru mentioned how he went to see Naoko in the hospital years before and recalls the oleanders and I immediately thought of Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman. That story in the short-story book is also about Toru.

Next to read is Fighting Techniques of the Oriental World: Equiptment, Combat Skills, and Tactics. I was stoked to find that *_*

I started drivers ed this weekend. Biggest waste of time ever? I'm seriously not taking in anything I'm being 'taught'. We just get work sheets that we either use books to answer, or stuff from the Drivers Handbook (which was like 8 months ago. Who remembers that!?). I have a test Saturday, but I have no notes. That should be fun. I also have to miss three 8 hour shifts at work for this shit D:

Speaking of work, I started working at a second branch, but only for June, I believe. They have two other pages, but the library's messy when I get in there and it's all out of order. What the hell do the other two do? I hate people who do stuff half-assed. Like, it's your job; just do it.
