I guess I really am my mothers daughter.

Lets be frank here. My mom is crazy at cleaning, infact she is sooo good at cleaning my sister and I are in fact pretty lazy/kind of bad at it.

But everyone one has their limits. And the bathtub in my new apartment in my eyes was unacceptable. by a lot.


So I got out the comet, some rubber gloves and an S.O.S. pad or two and went to town, and the results, well I think they speak for themselves. The tub still isn't sparkling clean by any strech of the the imagination, but it is a lot cleaner than it was before. Also the curtain that was there before and a little gross is up out of the way in the clean picture.



In the end I suppose it just proves that anyone is good at cleaning, it just has to be dirty enough for them to want to clean it. huh.

Best Opening Lines of songs

Recently I've decided that I want to come up with a top ten list for opening lines of songs, I've been thinking about them a lot, but so far I've only thought of two that definitely have to be on the list and a few others that are a possibility. Then again maybe I need different lists.

Definates:
"To see the leaves grow on the trees with you is out of question." - Wannabe, Nine Days

"I'm thinking it's a sign, that the freckles in our eyes are mirror images and when we kiss they're perfectly aligned."- Such Great Heights, Postal Service

Possibles:
"I Don't want somebody to love me, just give me sex whenever I want it."- Instant Pleasure, Rufus Wainright

"God Thinks all Blacks are obsolete farm equipment." - God Thinks, Voltaire


Any suggestions?

So I got a new toy

I finally decided to splurge and get a ball winder and I love it so much. I just got the knit picks one that was not expensive and it took me a while to get the hang of it, but once I did I went a little crazy. I think i'm going to wind all my balls into centerpulls I don't know how I lived without one it is so fun. maybe someday in the future I'll have enough money to buy a swift (yeah right they're way too expensive).Just a random Yarn update. I will try to start blogging more regularly and use this as my main blog now that I am home.

Games!

So here are some more videos I took at the Botanical gardens. People were playing a lot of games there, the first one is a video of people playing with a Jianzi, like a Chinese hackey sack.




the second one is a game involving a beanbag of some sort. If you watch the tiny girl in yellow and orange see gets beamed pretty hard.




I've been going to a lot of parks lately and Chinese parks are beautiful.

BJ Gardens

This weekend I went to the Botanical Gardens with my Language Partner group. Not my Language partner though, he is in Switzerland right now. I think we should have waited a few weeks to go though, because now only some things were blossoming and it was COLD. It snowed there which is really odd for late March in Beijing I feel then again it hardly ever rains here, so I guess anything besides dry is abnormal. Anyways I'll put more pictures up soon but enjoy my pretty ones in the mean time. Oh, and going in the warm green house was nice.

Subways

I spent a lot of break, and a lot of China time running around the Subway system. And wow, all i can say is Minneapolis would really benefit from a comprehensive system. I have subway passes for four different places which is awesome. Hong Kong's system is best, but Taiwan's is the cutest, but the Taiwanese really like their music they play it for their subway, they play it for their garbage trucks and basically whatever else.

Video Blogs

I made some videos during my winter break and I thought I should maybe finally post them up.



Here are some pictures that i took to go along with it, these were out of a taxi though, which is kind of hard to get good pictures of.


This happened for several nights even after I came back from taiwan as well once at four in the morning which is so strange.

Sometimes...

Life is stupid and it fails you.

Then again sometimes you fail it.

So anyways...

All the pictures I took on vacation I'll get around to posting here and on facebook.

My friends and I have also resolved to go to more interesting places this semester so we get to experience the "real Beijing" so hopefully I'll blog about that.

my New Years resolution was to be a better student... and well there is still some hope.

I think a better resolution would be to stop watching so much TV, it is kind of ridiculous I think.

There is a girl with in my calligraphy class with a name that sounds almost exactly like mine, but her second character is different, it is "Rainbow" instead of "Girl" I am jealous.

I update my Plurk way more than I update this, be my friend!

If I get bored I might post a "get to know me!" quiz on here for kicks.
