See? Dayna understands me!

I bought some new face stuff yesterday--my face hates me, and it's become time to fight back. I got some Cetaphil, because it's supposed to be a cheap classic. I've only used it once, but it did leave my face surprisingly soft. I needed new toner too, so I got some stuff from Biore (you know, the nose-strip makers?). It doesn't sting too much, so I guess it doesn't have a ton of alcohol in it, and it's got tea tree oil, which is always good. I have some L'Oreal free samples of their Hydrafresh moisturizer--we'll see how it holds up to the humidity today. Oh, and I got some L'Oreal Featherlash mascara on a friend's recommendation, and I really like it--great brush, goes on natural-looking, and the brown-black is actually brown, not some dark gross colour. I may have to rethink my make-up snobbery a little ;)

Listening To: Nikka Costa, "Push and Pull"

I've been reading a lot of online journals lately, and Poundy is one of my favorites. I love it more every time I read it. It's about one woman's journey through weight loss, but stretches further than that. Really good.

Listening To: Afghan Whigs--Gentleman

This site is kind of interesting. I was surprised to see that they mentioned a lack of self confidence or self esteem for all three of my names, because that's definately an issue--maybe there's more stock to these things than I previously thought.

Listening To: Nothing (you know, this is getting kind of pointless...)

Damn. These things are everywhere now, which is a tad annoying, but making them is certainly fun.

Listening To: Twilight Singers, "Annie Mae"

Good God. Michael Wayne McGray, who may well be Canada's worst serial killer, just confessed to another murder--the killing of a teenaged hitchhiker a decade and a half ago. He murdered a woman from my hometown and her 11-year-old daughter--she had left Newfoundland and taken her daughter with her to New Brunswick to meet McGray, whom she had been corressponding with. He killed them both not long afterwards. It's incredibly frightening to think that Canada's worst killer murdered someone that went to my school. It's a fucked up world we live in, I think.

The story is in the National Post--I'll post a link when I get my email from them.

Listening To: Nothing, cause it's late

I've been going to this site a lot lately, and entering in what I've eaten. I eat an atrocious amount of sodium, I've discovered, but I'm not as bad in some areas as I thought I was.

I'm just glad that I can do this--keep track of my food intake--and think it's fun, not get all neurotic and unhealthy over it. It shows how much has changed in the past few months.

Finally picked up (and finished) a book! I was bored and lonely on Monday, so I started reading Bridget Jones' Diary, and I really enjoyed it. Her I'm-so-fat-nobody-loves-me bit got a little old, but I didn't take it too seriously, and there were quite a few laugh-out-loud moments. Overall, very enjoyable. It was so nice to just sit and read for once--I need to make an effort to do it more often.

Wow, I haven't updated in a while.

2001-05-09T20:38:00.000-07:00

I hate you blogger. Hate you with a fiery passion. Why won't you let me edit my past messages? Gah!

Anyway, the gist of the last post was that Tangmonkey.com is super cool, and a friend of a friend is involved with it, so I must be super cool by association. It would have been much better the first time around. Fie on you, blogger!

Listening To: Nothing, again! God, I'm boring.

My friend's roommate helped make the site

Listening To: Nothing--it's late, and everyone else is managing to get some sleep

We went to see Bridget Jones's Diary tonight, and I really really enjoyed it (the sheer number of cute British boys involved in the film may have been a factor, I admit). I was surprised with how much I liked it, but it was a well-done, fun film. I even though Renee Zellweger was quite good in it, and rather cute, and I usually don't like her much. I also happen to think she looks better at her Bridget weight than she does now, all skinny, but that could just be me.

Listening To: Badly Drawn Boy--"Cause A Rockslide"

Everyone knows I love this site already, but I'm going to talk about it again anyway ;) I love the drawings at exploding dog--I check the site every day, and I'm so glad he's updating regularly again. People send in sayings, song lyrics, random sentences, whatever, and Sam makes drawings out of them--a lot of the results are funny, but some are actually really touching and sad. You wouldn't expect to get that out of simple stick figures, but Sam makes it so.

Tonight I actually watched movies! We rented Billy Elliot and The Tao of Steve--I really enjoyed both of them. Tao was funny, and I liked that the people in the film looked like real people, not just movie stars. Those damn Europeans and their emotional movies got to me again with Billy. It's nice to watch a film and actually care about the characters in it, you know? Just emotional enough of a movie-watching night, but not too emotional that I feel all crap. All in all, good times.

The crappy week has gotten a little less crappy, especially since I got my internet back. That, and there was the Survivor finale. I love that show so much it's ridiculous. I know I'm a sad, sad individual--I don't care! Go to the CBS website and check out the clips--pay special attention to Colby ;)

This has been the crappiest week ever, I think. So I shall give you funny things! Funny links for you!

Go to Lileks.com. Check out the gallery of regrettable food and the amazing digs at 70s furniture. Wish you were as cool as this Lileks guy is.

Wishing: That Blogger would let me edit my last post, which it fucked up. Bah.

Anyway, as I was saying...Amy, Chris and I are going to IKEA on the weekend, in Burlington. I've never been to an IKEA store, so I'm pretty excited about going. My room has been in a boring, dull shamble all year (kind of like my life), so I figure maybe making some changes and making it a little cheerier and more inviting will improve my mood. You never know, maybe a little change can lead to a bigger change.

I don't want to go to work.

On Saturday, Amy, Chris and I are going to

So I'm actually going to make this into a real, live blog now. With updates and everything! I know the Blogger template is lame and sheepy, so I'm going to put my university courses to work and try to design a new one--any ideas?

2000-12-10T18:52:00.000-08:00

This is a test blog. The blog to start all blogs. I should be studying, so I'll go now.
