This is really cool: Chinese music/rock awards. Miserable Faith won a lot of the categories, including album of the year. I absolutely love that album of theirs ♥ Helen won in the female singer category, which is also awesome. Not particularly fond of the other nominees. But, I object to AK-47 getting best metal performance. I've actually only heard their second album, but it generally wasn't too pleasant; meanwhile, Voodoo Kungfu are killer; I'd choose Ordnance over AK-47, too. Hell, even Suffocated are better. Dude from Honey Gun and Spring Autumn also won a category and both those bands are good, so that's nice.

Worked four hours today. Fridays are pretty painful. All day tomorrow and then a couple of my friends are getting together and we're gonna watch some scary movies. Hopefully it'll be fun.

I did some serious shopping tonight: a black sweater and a red sweater from Dynamite, grey pants, a pink tanktop and a grey/pink striped sweater from Garage, a book from Chapters, flats and sunglasses from Payless (they had a really good sale on) and some underwear. I spent too much money lol.

So, after a month and eight days of waiting, I finally have it!

( And your bird is green )

I also bought Paul McCartney & Wing's Band on the Run album. Fucking amazing. Fucking. Amazing.

This is my desktop right now ♥


Just finished listening to the 2009 Super Girl compilation album. Really liked it. I wasn't expecting to, but generally all the songs were good.

I have so much schoolwork to do. So much D: D:

For my Holocaust class, we had to watch this film called Nuit et Brouillard (Night and Fog) which was horribly depressing. Like, I honestly had to look away at certain points. It's only half an hour, so if you're interested in it, here it is with English subs. We were discussing it in class and it's pretty interesting. The title comes from the German term 'Nacht und Nebel' which is literally 'night and fog', but means to do something in secrecy and was a term (along with many others) adapted by the Nazis for the killing of the Jews. I'll stop before I ramble lol.

I'm on an Ayu kick right now. It's been a while, but I get nostalgic listening to her stuff. Memorial address came out in 2003! 2003! It doesn't feel like it was six years ago ;_; I started listening to her in 2002, so RAINBOW was the first album she released when I was a fan and I was like, so fucking excited for that omg. My interest started dwindling after MY STORY was released and I don't think she'll be able to restore my love for her an artist. Her songs and lyrics are crappy rehashes of what she's done before and her voice is pretty awful. Regardless, she still manages to put out a good track every once and a while.

New Superfly is really good. I actually like the PV a lot, too. Huun-Huur-Tu's new release is so damn good. The first three songs take you away to grassy steppes *_* They performed in Michigan, but last.fm didn't let me know until that day D: JASMINE's new single is good. No More sounds too much like sad to say, though. CLUBBIN' has some attitude lol. I don't think I ever talked about MiChi's album. T'was very good, indeed. And Lady GaGa's Bad Romance is also really good. But, the new Sa Ding Ding song owns all. My God, I can't wait for her next album.

I need to go through my icons and make some new ones. These are gettin' pretty old. I made a new sig for AHS. Just kept it simple: some colouring adjustments, smoothing and text. It's passable, I guess.


I only got 77% on my German exam D: Wft is that? I fucking hate that class. Had another exam today. It was better than I was expecting, but I really don't know. I might've just been writing to put stuff down :/

My first attempt at a German translation:
( Juli - November )

I was supposed to write a paper tonight. I hate being a procrastinator :(

My summer is almost over as I start back to school on Wednesday. I only have one class at 4:00 and then I work after that for 2 hours. Ugh, I don't want to go. Anyways, I'll probably post in a week-ish bitching about it all lol.

My mom made German Chocolate Cake today 8D Mmmmm, so good. I'm not a cake fan; the only kinds I eat are the Dairy Queen ice cream cake and ones you make out of a box. I hate the kind you buy in stores because of the disgusting icing, bleh.

I watched/finished watching some movies, so now I'm going to babble about 'em:

Ah, I really like this song. I think the video footage might be from the July rioting. I like this sound for them.

Oh, do any of you guys have a Goodreads account? Pretty cool site that lets you keep track of the books you've read, or are waiting to read, rate them and review them. Here is my page. I can't remember all the books I've read though lol.

I'm reading The Bloody White Baron right now and it's increasingly getting better, but I can't stop thinking about Wolf Totem, which I rambled about in my last post. That book moved me. I might even say it was the best fictional book I've read.

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.

( Random YouTube videos I'm into right now... )

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.

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.
