Ever since Inuyasha began playing on American TV the hits to my inuyasha site have skyrocketed. The counter says 851 people yesterday. What the? It never used to get above 30 =X And the amount of related mail has increased in proportion. I can't keep up @_@;; There are so many questions and I have not read or watched any Inuyasha for a very long time. I can't even remember what I put on my website anymore. Someone recently told me that I ought to write things that are of interest to my visitors instead of whatever rubbish it is that happens to me on a particular day. That I should point out useful links and write articles on contraversial topics. *pauses to laugh* Nah. I"M FAR TOO LAZY FOR THAT! =D It's not going to happen anytime soon sorry. Blue Bamboo is like my diary and I hold to the common argument that I blog for me and not for you ^_^ [I've blogged a lot today O_<;; Trying to escape studying] |

Sereko, remember how when we redecorated my bedroom ages ago and you told my Dad I needed a mirror. And he nodded and agreed. You remember how he agreed so readily don't you? I finally got one. I've been nagging him for years and I finally have one. I should have just gone out and bought it myself before but he kept telling me not to because apparently "it's not easy to pick out a mirror" and he'd have gotten all pissy at me if I had >_>;; I just wanted one of the simple glass ones with a black border that they sell at K-mart for A$24, it's not like it's some whoppingly high price, but they wouldn't let me. This big mistake I made was to consult them prior purchase. I know better now. Don't ask first. Buy, then show ^^; And Dad is so proud now. He's so proud of this A$17 plastic, warped in the middle mirror he's bought me. The plastic gold border keeps threatening to fall off and the corners are crunchy looking, so I've stuffed blue tac in the gaps. He's so proud of himself right now, I can't tell him I don't like it ^^; I can't tell him it's dodgy and warped in the middle. I can't I can't ^^;;;; So I've been prancing around with him acting deliriously happy, to keep his bubble afloat. And I've been equally attentive to mum who had been planning where it would be best hung in my room according to Feng Shui. I'll just have to put up with it la. I'll become oblivious to the warping and stick a picture over the little black smudgy thing that's in the corner. |

I'm trying to make a list of Jpop/Jrock/Kpop CDs I'm after. My parents just told me they're going to Hong Kong and Shanghai for 3 weeks next month. Usually all this listing would be very easy, but now I have to take into consideration that avex are putting "Copy-Control" on a lot of their CDs. There are many CDs I want by their artists, but they're all almost useless to me now. I can't play them on my computer [PC or Mac..... actually I've read scary stories about Macs getting very very stuck and no one has written anything about how to get around it]. I can't rip them for mp3s to put on my ipod. Oh and this: It won't play on "some players that support CDR media". Some people have been posting on boards saying this thing doesn't even work on some regular CD players. I'm not going to cough up $30 for a CD which won't play on my mac, and may possibly not play on my hi-fi. So for me [and many others] the whole point of their copy protection is working in reverse. Whereas I would have happily bought their CDs [there are 3 at my local store which I really want but won't get], I'm now trawling the internet to find the songs. Let other people circumvent the copy control so I can have my songs anyway. Related links: [If Korea's SM Town follow the copy protection trend I will die] |

I'm being a good girl this weekend and updating the Novacaine Network. Still now new layout there I've not got the time to make a collective layout =_=;; I did however upload 4 new mp3s, add a lot of Sungaholics and change the Sungaholic layout. The layout absolutely had to change. Too many people have joined and I couldn't fit all of them onto the old layout =D; I've also been productive and listened to 3 of my lectures. I'm pleased with myself ^_^~ I'm just avoiding the virology one because the lecturer is so boring =[ I never hear anything he says, it's all in one ear and out the other no matter how much coffee I drink prior to the lecture. All I get for doing so is the need to relieve myself every half hour. |

Things to do this weekend:
That reminds me. I had a strange aussie rule football dream last night X_x;; I dreamed I joined the Adelaide Crows [ya, a girl on the team XD; An uncoordinated girl who can't kick a football straight] and sabotaged them so Port would win. lol My mobile phone contract ends at the beginning of october so I am looking at changing my phone. There are two I have in mind right now. One is the Sony Ericsson T68i and the other is the Samsung R220. I really like the Ericsson ^^; You can attach a device to turn it into a digital camera. And it's mac compatable =] It's a bit expensive though so maybe I will go with the Samsung, I saw it today at the Optus shop and it was so cute ^_^ I'm playing with the online phone demo now. Hmmm I still have a few weeks to think na. i suddenly have a lot of Baby VOX videos to watch. mmm I don't like them all, just 3: In Hyoung, Get up and Game Over. |

Hmmm me at Uni now d/ling kpop music videos to take home [120MB already eiiiiii]. Hmmm I went to lectures this morning then, helped V with her micro project, then met Nahnah for lunch and went chinatown. They had peach water! Yaaaaaay =D I bought 4 bottles and a bottle of pear water and the lady at the counter laughed at me. So mean na. But I love my peach water. I'm so happy to have it la ^_^ I just do not relish the thought of carrying so many bottles home. I'm addicted to peach things. I drink vast quantities of Lipton Peach tea and eat equally vast quantities of peach water candy and now that I know we have peach water I'm going to stock up *_*;

I'm bored la. So bored la. I should work but I can't seem to make myself do it *sighs* I have to relisten to haematology and histopathology and biochemistry but I just don't feel like it. It's residual boredom from work la >_> There was no work to speak of at the lab again tonight, I dawdled my legs and played solitaire again. My friend as work is handing in her resignation. She wants to do it tomorrow, but MA and I asked her to do it on monday because tomorrow is *DOOM* Friday the 13th. Not the day to make major life moves we say, not the day! Wait for Monday XD; She's going to move to Brisbane la, but she hasn't got a job or place to live lined up yet =X After she hands in her letter she will leave our lab after 2 weeks and then move straight after. That's not much time to get organized O_o;; I heard unemployment levels over there are even worse than here =_= I hope she doesn't move there and end up unemployed. And apparently they aren't going to be hiring someone to replace her =X Someone important has decided that we have too many people working in Micro and wants to cut back. That means we have to learn PCR la. She and ML are the only two who can do it, but ML isn't as good. She learned from N [enough to cover her when she goes on leave] and now N is leaving. Someone said something about me having to learn. Eiiii I hate doing PCR n_n;; Stupid polymerase chain reaction with its stupid tiny volumes of reagent and stupid hyper cleanly multi-room process. I don't have the patience for it ^^; ML says it's not bad when you do it many times and get used to it tho' =X I dawdled my way down to the city this morning to stab 2 tubes for my uni project, then read manga at borders for an hour and got my hair cut *sigh* I brought a picture and the hairdresser still didn't do it right. mmm well, that's not fair I guess, the place was busy. It's just not slanty in the front. I'll let it grow an inch and then get it cut slanty again. There was a warehouse sale near the Synagogue and I got my CAT bag =D It's blue and has "Caterpiller" written in big white letters on the top. I thought it was really nice, but now the more I look at it the more it lookes like a downsized version of what used to be my official school packpack. Bleh. I need to find a nice big badge to slap on it. I suddenly feel like watching Cowboy Beebop la *sigh* I want to watch it, but I lent all my DVDs to M, apparently her bf is an anime friend, so she wanted to borrow something. It would figure that I'd let it lie around collecting dust for so long and then only want to watch it 2 days after I've lent it out ^^;;;; |

GAH my slanty hair is gone! Sort of.... It's slanty from the ear to cheek and then the front isn't slanty O_<;; I don't know what my hairdresser did. I want my front slantiness back ;_; I deeply mourn it's loss. Now I'll have to grow the front again to get it back.

I won! Yay =D~ look at my 99cent baggie. Is the seller forced to sell it to you if the bidding never reached more than a dollar or something? O_o;; It seems unfair to them? And Kins, the Kangta book arrived today ^_^~ It's so pretty and glossy and thick! [and heavy X_x]. I love my kangta photobookie [how could you part with it Joey? How?! XDDD Oh well, mine now *latches on and never lets go*] and click b vcd. I sent your package today na, hopefully you will get it soon. Oooh And I skipped out on student talks at uni today in favour of going to the Alanna Hill clearance sale. There were some really gorgeous things *_* I have a cute candy stripe shirt with glitter heart buttons, 2 pairs of earring and a hairclip. They had a communal changeroom though. Ewww I hate communal changerooms I feel so self conscious n_n;; Yay =DDD~~ G was teasing me when I got to work today la =_=;; I must have looked extremely sleepy, he said he wanted to make sure I was awake. [HIGH FIVE MARY HIGH FIVE! Mary: huh.....? =_= *halfheartedly slaps hands*] Work was extremely boring today. I love my job.... but not when there's no work to speak of T_T;; I just sat around dangling my legs and playing mind numbing solitaire. Where was the work? Where was the work? I'm supposed to write meaningful things today aren't I? I'm supposed to write about how sad everything is, and how there's a big void..... But everyone everywhere is saying it. I don't think I have anything to add. |

New layout yay! It's Audrey Hepburn because I admire her and have wanted to do a layout for a long time ^_^ I was trying to give the image an antique look but I don't know if I was very successful. >_> Kinkins says you're all going to run away thinking you're at the wrong blog because I've never expressed my idolatory or Audrey Hepburn before =D;; That and it's a non-kpop non-guy layout. Kekekekeke I needed to relax after the exam la. Making layouts always helps me to do that ^_^ |

OMG I'm dead. I'm DEAD X_X And I studied so hard for my exam too ;_; In the end the practical part was my undoing. I seem to have somehow messed up the extended Antigen Panel >_< The person was meant to be Duffy A and I didn't get that X_X I didn't get it and it was so freaking easy. For some reason one of my panels came up negative instead of positive and it threw the whole thing off =\ I'm going to die I'm going to dieeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. And dad cancelled tha cable X_x Last night he decided it wasn't worth it and cancelled it X_x;; Arghhhhh must pull self together. M comming over soon. Argh *rolls around on the ground* I studied so hard! So very very hard! *rolls around and around and around* |

I have been allocated the role of Bitch queen for the upcomming project O_o;; Some of you may recall a girl who I have taken a great dislike to [try to help someone new and they throw it in your face >__>]. We're a group of 4 and she's in it =X L, H and I wanted to be a trio, but that girl will be all alone if we don't go with her, and she kept dropping hints >_<;;; H no like her 'cause she's bossy in pracs, L no like 'cause of her attitude....... They've given me the role be being the bitch if she gets too bossy ^^; OMG I've never been like that before. I don 't think it shall be hard though T_T;; I've played ice queen before, but never BQ =D; This is the first person in my entire life I've disliked so much, I wonder if I could do it O_o;; Do you think I could? *see's Kuya shaking his head vigorously* *sigh* I dislike her more as of today. I lent my photocopy card to H so she could photocopy my notes and stood with her to wait, then girl came and asked H to copy for her too. Copy for her..... of my notes.... with my money..... on my card and didn't ask me if she could have a copy. And she offered to pay the money back to H or buy her chips or something. H then said I was actually the one who was paying for the copying. What did girl do? Did girl think of paying ME back?! Hell no, she just looked at me and walked off. She didn't even effing say a word to me. THAT %&#()%$)%&()$%&%()#&%#()!!! It's not like I wanted her to pay me back or anything. But an offer...... or something would have been polite >_> And I was freaking there the whole time she was talking to H. I'm really trying though. I'm reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaly trying to be nice to her =_=;; I think she knows I dislike her though. I'm going to be taking the link to blue-bamboo off novacaine.net. People who I know offline are finding their way to novacaine and it's bothering me. Above mentioned girl has my e-mail now...... she knows i own novacaine.net.... if she goes she'll find.....uh...... this O_o;; P.S. A guy who talks like James Bond lectured us this morning. WHOOHOO Guess who didn't fall asleep |

The guy who sat opposite me on the bus this morning looked just like Fany! XDDD He was tall. [and looked like fany]. He lives just down the road from me [and he looks like Fany]. He catches the same bus as me at the same time as me 3 days a week and I never really looked at him before [Fany!]. He was reading a Resident Evil novel. Fany! It's a chinese fany lookalike living in my suburb, catching my bus!!! Hell, I'm always going to sit at the back of the bus from now on. [Usually he sits behind me, but today opposite =X But what other person chooses to sit facing the back of the bus when there are plenty of other seats? Doesn't he feel wierd? I hate sitting facing the back. HAAAAAATE facing the back. I feel queasy] And today I'm wearing my maroon top. My maroon shirt that I hate and forgot I hated it this morning when I rushed out of the door. I both love and hate this shirt na. It makes me look skinny, so I like it.... But it also has a plunging cleavage thing and I feel veeeery self conscious when I wear it O_o;; The whole time I was on the bus I had my hand holding the collar together. Stupid shirt, mary will burn thee upon arrival at home tonight. |

I want to make a D.Bace layout..... or a rally car layout.... or an Audrey Hepburn layout...... lol none of those are even vaguely relevant to each other ^^; My mind is going off on tangents. But I have no time anyway =[ Still cramming away for the exam. Boo. I haven't even updated novacaine.net this weekend. Gaaaaaah |
