Monday, April 30th, 2007

This was seen on an ice-cream cart. Note the interesting spelling errors on her tee. How representative of the sort of clothes they sell in China - FAKE. :D Abercrombif and Titch for teh win!!111one

Man, what a crazy trip. It has been so terribly tiring. Visited all the requisite places - Temple of Heaven, Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, Summer Palace, and of course the insanely long Great Wall of China (of which we trekked ten bloody long kilometres over the unrestored part - [...]

Sasha

Saturday, April 21st, 2007

The kitty has a thing for my bag. Can’t leave it opened for more than a minute or she’ll go schlep herself inside and look inquisitively around.

Me: Sash what are you doing?
Sasha: Meow.
Me: No, get out of my bag!
Sasha: Meow!
Me: I am not bringing you to China.
Sasha: Meow.
Me: Aw. I’ll miss you too.

Goodbye, lovely little hall room.

Case mods

Thursday, April 19th, 2007

Something about case modding really really excites me.  I love how these people can literally create gorgeous artwork from scratch that combines technical knowhow with electrical knowhow and pure artistry to produce some of the most bloody brilliant cases I’ve ever seen.  I absolutely love reading case mod project logs.  I love seeing the case [...]
