1. I woke up at 3pm and had cereal for lunch. I am so grown-up! :D

2. I've changed my layout! I wanted to, for a while, because the comments section on the old layout was bugging the hell out of me - grey on white, wtf?! How does this in any way facilitate comment-stalking?! But I was a lazy bum and never got around to doing anything until [info]llyfrgell mentioned that it was kinda hard on the eyes. So I decided, BAH. Let's change it. TO WIT:


Better now? ;) I have such love for the picture I used in my header. The width of the layout is not conducive to epic pic-spams, but I shall figure that out later.

3. In the spirit of lovely new things - check out my icon, and the accompanying picture of INCREDIBLE GORGEOUSNESS. Definitely brought me back to the days when all I used to do was browse through Gillian Anderson photo galleries and squeal inwardly to myself - Gillian why are you so preeeeeetty?! - yes, I was a scintillating conversationalist way back when. I cannot quite fathom that IN FIVE DAYS I will be watching TXF2. This is very, very exciting for me.

4. The lack of movies to watch this weekend has really thrown me off though. It feels wrong to not have something to see on the weekend. Bah.

5. I SHOULD go to work. I have something to clear that I should have cleared on Friday but I was lazy and went out for dinner instead. And now I have to clear it FAST tomorrow. DO NOT LIKE.

6. And I shall now go running. In theory. For a while, anyway, as I have to come back, wake my slumbering sister up and take her to town for an inordinately expensive but very yummy chicken rice dinner. Ah, lazy weekends ftw.

7. Last but certainly not least:



8. Edited to add: Uploaded the movie version of Chiquitita from Mamma Mia for [info]alex_kingston - no clue WHY this isn't included on the soundtrack, but whatever. Have at it. :)

1. I should stop deciding to do random things like change my entire layout at 4am in the morning. Because, bah, that's exactly what I did. Obviously, it now more accurately reflects my current obsession: Julia Murney. (Bet that was a shocker. :p)

Title (lyrics into literature) courtesy of Andrew Lippa, who has this to say about Julia: "She's a profoundly gifted artist with a limitless range of emotions, a commanding presence, and an artistry that turns lyrics into literature, belting into bliss, music into miracles. In fact, I never have to rehearse with Julia when I've written something new for her. She just knows how to sing it. It's almost as if she's writing the song as she's singing it. She's inspiring."


2. It's now 6.10am. WIN EPIC LOSE. I went to bed at 8 yesterday morning and got up only when my dad woke me - at 6.30pm, for dinner. WHAT KIND OF CRAZY TIMEZONE AM I LIVING IN!? Certainly not the one I SHOULD be living in.

3. Went for dinner at a lovely place called persimmon in a local hotel here. Very interesting too - Westernised versions of local delicacies, which means a fisherman's pie but filled with delectable laksa sauce *drool* and chunks of fish and crab rather than chicken; Hainanese chicken rice salad; and a chicken roulade filled with glutinous rice. LOVE. ♥ I definitely want to go back there!

4. And that's all I've done all day/night apparently. Eat, make icons a new layout and wallpaper, watch youtube. FAAAAAAIL. I am going to BED. I actually DO have to work today, curses and more curses.

HAI IT IS 7.45 AM AND I HAVE YET TO GO TO BED. I BLAME IT ON FLAILING, I DO. BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT I'VE DONE TODAY:

1. Watched The Savages, which was excellent, because Laura Linney and Philip Seymour Hoffman are ALWAYS made of excellent.

2. Went to Jay Chou's concert for the second night in a row. It was awesome, of course - asjfasjfdalskjalsdjal! My sister made a video of him playing the gu zheng but Youtube is being evil and not letting her upload it. I WILL SPAM WITH IT LATER. He was incredible though. And even brought his grandma out onstage for her to dance the tango, LOL. Cuteness.

3. Returned home for EPIC FLAILING with [info]alexia88 - I have missed you SO, hon, even though we got to meet up just last month! But it was all good, because we both went bonkers with flail and now we have paid accounts and a hundred++ icons for our flailing purposes. WIN. I have spent hours adding icons and I haven't hit the limit yet. HEAVEN. [shameless hint ahead] Anyone on my flist wanna make me an icon to celebrate? HIT ME. ;)

4. Spent way too long re-customising LJ layout BECAUSE IF YOU HAVEN'T GONE MAD FOR THE XF2 PROMO PICS, WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU??

In that spirit of open-mindedness, therefore, check out the new layout:

And 5. Guys! Go contribute to the pic-fic at [info]my_vicodin! Go on, it's FUN!
