(My foot, again, says, 'Hello.')
Yes, folks, that's right. I have taken it upon myself to enter the world of knitting. What you see here (see picture above) is the first square of my knitting experience. I had no plans for anything when I started to knit the square. I intended, at first, to make a scarf for my Princess, the cat, and when I compared the width of the square to his face, the square won. So, instead, I worked on binding the square off and using it to put hot pots on. I'm very proud of myself. I learned this by myself, with help from no one. My mother does not know how to knit, neither does my sister nor my dad.
I figured I'd make cute little clothes for Princess and Molly until I was good enough to knit names into scarfs. I've always loved those type things. Handmade sweaters and scarfs with the person's initial, or full name, on it. So, yes, I am excited.
I love creating. The power!

Yesterday I was at wal*mart, walking around, waiting for my parents while they were at Lowe's... And, I was walking down the girl's toy section and couldn't help but remember when I was kid, seeing a toy aisle is the way I feel about clothes, purses, books, electronics, or computer gear. How you get the swelling excitement in your chest and smoke wafting from your pocket full of cash. Yeah. Don't you miss those days where toys held that joy? Haha.
Then I wondered to the board games and realized I missed Scattergories.

I finished a book a couple of days ago. The Mysterious Affair at Styles. I love Ms Agatha Christi, but holy fucking god. It took me two fucking weeks to finish the 198 page book. I could read that in one, maybe two (depends how interesting) and it expended to two damn weeks. AHHHHH. I hated the way it was written, that's why. The mystery was a good one, but the writing sucked. I am so happy that she progressed to a neater, cleaner style of prose rather than that slop, ugh.

I just looked over my shoulder and my dog's head was craned over my doorway, ears perked, mouth seemingly smiling. And, as I stared at her for two short seconds I pictured a pink hat on her head, a bonnet. Ack. I can't wait until I get good, haha.

Koreans sucked, they only had two that I cared to find, haha.

Now for something Italian, I finally finished Godfather 1. HOLY FUCKING SHIT I DID NOT REALIZE IT WAS THREE HOURS LONG! Usually, it takes me at least three days to finish a movie, if I'm actually watching it and not having it on for background noise. Wow, though, that movie was fucking awesome. I can see why it's so widely popular. It took me at least two days to get into it, but after that, I watched the rest of the hour and a half and couldn't help but fall in love. I'm excited to watch the other two.
But first, I want to finally start on Damages: Season 2. I absolutely did love the first season and I waited until all of Season Two was done before I wanted to watch it.

Asian Week is still going strong! I'm sorry to say I have been singing and listening to Phil Collins. Hits like, 'In The Air Tonight,' 'Don't You Lose My Number,' and 'One More Night.' Especially 'In The Air Tonight.' Which reminds me, have any of you seen the Hang Over trailer?

The last 30 seconds has to be the funniest. Mike Tyson? C'mon. If you don't smile to it, you're not human. I was with my parents and me and Mom cracked up. Dad chuckled. Then again, he never really was that big of a Phil Collins fan.

My parents were talking about a job they were going to go see tomorrow.
Dad - You know the road beside Peppers?
Mom - Yeah.
Dad - Well, you take that road, to the fence, and before you reach the dead end, you should be able to see a green house and there it is.
Me - Yeah, I like driving down dead ends to see where they lead me.
Mom - *smiles and turns back to Dad*
Dad - *completely ignores me*
*A few seconds later*
Mom - *smile turns to a chuckle, she looks at me (I'm cheesin' it) and starts laughing*
Dad - *Smiles*

Remember this soap?
My parents bought me the lotion and the body wash. Eucalyptus Spearmint. God, I fucking love it.

I suppose every author thinks about what kind of style they would be best out, or fall into it by accident, but I was thinking about what I was good at. I'm not really good at comedy, I like to explain things too expansively. I'm not good at romances (I hate romance). I'm not good at allegories or deep meaning novels. I'm not good at mysteries (hard lesson to learn). I'm not good at biographies. I AM GOOD AT twists and turns - dramas. I can make such drama executed in a mature fashion I don't know what to do with myself. I'm also nice at suspense. So, the last two days, I have come to terms with my calling, I suppose.

Remember, Click it or Ticket!

서태지 - 로보트

My Asian obsession has been kicking the bucket; in other words, it's dying. So, I dedicate this week to foreign music and Asians! I'm sure they won't be offended. Haha. It's better to have a happier week than the Pearl Harbor remembrance.

Yesterday I rearranged my entire room. I have several pictures of me in my room, or animals in my room, or how clean my room is, but I'll go ahead and repeat a couple of those past pictures. I chose the theme 'how clean my room is' since my room is now clean thanks to the Feng Shui.
Before



After




I gave the mini-dresser (what I like to call it since I'm not inclined to the titles of furniture) to my sister and replaced it with three mini-plastic tubs.

I have all three Godfather movies, so I'll be watching them tonight... Along with Gangs of New York (yes, jellyfishopera, I know you like it), and Goodfellas. Trying to buff myself on the whole mafia/gang thing for a story. Need to get in the mood to make a deal I can't refuse.
Hahahaha.
I didn't think it would work at all, but I said it anyway.
