it's Kreuger tonight...! (-_o)

yaaaaRR!
i believe it's a 'remake' ☺
the original came out in 1984 (woa! that long ago?! i was only a 2year old toddler!)
i think i saw the original when i was in junior high or something..but it terrified the bejeezus out of me! from the looks of the trailer, it's a remake. i recognized the same scenes..
(only downfall...this one won't have johnny depp...poop!)
the previews have grown on me and it looks good.
i'll be heading to the theater in a couple hours...
of course i'm bringing along my shoulder to scream on-pillow...AKA the jamus♥

Xtina's "not myself tonight" video~♥

SO xtina's music video premiered online today♥
many many people are already criticizing her for "copying lady gaga"...
well...i guess i can see why people might say that...but people have been comparing the 2 since lady gaga exploded onto the scene... yes, i can see gaga-ish aspects but..who cares?!
it's a music video! enjoy it! what's the point of pointing fingers?
i personally like it...i think it goes well with the song... but more than anything, i'm glad she's moving onto different sounds.. her last album "back to basics" was a bit too..jazzy/soul for me...
i like her POP music and her new album looks to be even better with electronica-mixed sounds..OOooOOo~!! (she teamed with goldfrapp, ladytron, tricky, etc)
some parts of this video made me think of gwen stefani too... where she has the platinum blonde hair with bangs + the red lipstick... but i like gwen too♥

biscuit b*tch...!

so there's this really cute coffee shop on 1st in downtown seattle...
it's suuuper cute! i haven't been inside (since i drink coffee in the AM and by the time i walk by the shop it's well after 5pm...) but i've taken a peek and they've got this...indie feel about it.
indie bands posters and music flyers plastered all over the walls...very artsy!
by the looks of what this flyer says, they open up @ night and the place turns into a feisty "biscuit bitch!"
wowza! now i'm just wondering what they do from 10~2am...
do they cater to after-club-goers ? but who would get coffee after drinking alcohol...
maybe they serve alcohol? coffee-infused alcohol?
i have no idea..but now i'm curious (-_-!)

2010's most influential people...♥

TIME magazine released their annual list of
'the most influential people in the world'
guess who got #1 on the list?
....
...
..
.
LADY GAGA ya'll! ♥
yea, that's because she's awesome, she rules, and i heart her♥
no, really, she's the best performer i've seen in a while...artistic, creative, unique, keeps ya guessing, confident, knows what she likes, DOES what she likes...and i get to see her this summer♥

and only one spot behind, conan obrien came in at #2..
i heart him too!
and after the kick off the tonight show, fans everywhere started the team coco website and he's currently on cross country tour.
gotta say...i'm lovin that beard...
i'm telling you guys, facial hair is always a PLUS +++++!

domo arigato barista robato...!

he's got the moves \(^^)/

yoshi...!

he's chilling in Oklahoma right about now...

i'll take you out to the ball game~♫

it's our yearly baseball ticket giveaway @ work♥

i didn't win any last month but i got one for this coming may 5th!
it's a weekday (wednesday) night but i'm still going! with erika \(^^)/
hellloooo~ garlic fries♥

oh no...SUPER SF is here...

this day was coming no matter what...

for some reason, only a year after SF4 came out, they decided to boost it a bit and
release a SUPER SF4...they added a couple new characters, brought back a few older characters, and got rid of the EXILE song (thank GOD!)
o, and new ultras ♥
i know i know, you're thinking "i thought you hated SF!"
well..yes, i don't like watching people play ...it gets repetitive...
but there are fun factors too!
for example, it's always fun to check out the new characters♥there's a new girl character, juri and she's kinda cool.
there's also the "challenges" part of the game, where you have to clear all combos.
this one's especially fun but i get frustrated really easy.
i like watching jamus do this one because i get to see him slightly upset...

weird food....

yea, i'm not kidding you... the local qfc had a special table out with balloons and everything..
i went to check it out and lo and behold...it's a friggin avatar cake..!
it's hilarious more than anything!
i would be worried about getting a blue tongue afterwards...
and here's where i wonder...does anyone actually buy this stuff?
like..an avatar party? o wait...i live in redmond/bellevue... it IS possible...

and for all you bacon lovers out there♥
did you know you can now get bacon flavored popcorn ? yipeee!!! (eew!)
i would NOT like to try this...seeing as popcorn already has that potent stench that sticks to you, i wouldn't wanna smell like bacon all day...

hot dog...♥

just too cute... he's literally the size of a hot dog!

old school cell phone...!

check it out!!
it's the old school cell phone Dynatec♥
i remember these phones from the 80's but believe it or not this one is the 1994 edition!
wes brought it in to work for some reason...
o cell phones...you've come a long way since 1994!
that's about 15 years ago... i wonder what we could have in the next 15 years?!

i heart shoes....♥

i didn't go too crazy... i got both pairs for a great deal! and i consider myself a smart shopper..
i think i'm all set for spring♥ the wedges are awesome!
i've been shopping around for the perfect pair and i think i've found 'em!
O, and they make me very tall ♫

horia's birthday...!

horia's birthday last night~!
the highlight...had to be Lady GaGa on Rockband!
i played the drums for rob zombie's Dragula and...ahhaha surprised myself!
i think i got it down! i got a 93% ♫ granted...it was on the easy level..
but...i could do it again. the drums were mega fun!

saturday shopping+lunch date...!

yep! after much debate, i purchased the 160gb iPod♥
my 30Gb iPod simply wasn't big enough anymore... i have more than 30g's of songs!
the myTouch sounded nice too but they run very expensive!
i figure with 160gb of space...this one will last me a really really long time♫

o! and surprisingly enough, jaymus tagged along with me to the mall! i KNOW! SHO-CKING!
we had lunch at the blue c sushi @ belle-square..the one that ken did his art for.
although the sushi was good, they run a bit more on the expensive side... ($_$)

Dunder Mifflin...!

i've been working with paul for over a year and i JUST noticed his bag...
it's Dunder Mifflin! you know, from THE OFFICE!
i got so excited♥ but he was surprised i hadn't noticed it all this time...
oops
i want one!

i'm now a twitter-er...!

you can now follow me on my twitter account @ivy_aibi
♥
i swore i wouldn't make an account with them..but i can post BS stuff more often on twitter than on facebook... so, if you're interested in some boring ivy updates...follow me!
そして今週あゆがツイッターを始めて、何度か質問送ったけど、お返事はまだ・・・
タイミングが合わないとTLがはやく流れちゃうから・・・
他にもジャスミンとかジブラもツイッターしてるで！
安室ちゃんもやらないかな～

Eyjafjallajokull VOLCANO...!

wow!!! volcanoes are AWESOME!

well..not awesome in that it can delay thousands of flights and ruin homes..
but in all other ways, they are AWESOME!
mother nature is such a strong beast! but beautiful....
these are some photos of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano that erupted last week...
those colors...wow!

and here's Eyjafjallajokull before it went ballistic...

Gorillaz: Plastic Beach...♫

i recently purchased the newly released Gorillaz album, "Plastic Beach".
it's amazing!
i love their experimental sounds... and..well the whole cd is an experience in itself.
songs i'm really loving right now:
RHINESTONE EYES♫
STYLO♫
EMPIRE ANTS♫
ON MELANCHOLY HILL♫

i'd love to see them in a concert but apparently it's ...boring..?
i know they're anime characters but...i would think it could still be enjoyable.
you're there for the music.

the turtles are hiring...!

as you can see, they are now hiring!

if you got ninja skills..pizza skills..whatever goes!
i would apply but..i don't heart sewers :(

back to yorkie...perhaps..? (・＿；）

o what to do...i was set on getting a dachshund but...my barista brought in her yorkie today and EEEEEEE!!!!! she was so adorable! and @ 5 years old she's smaller than kiki!
and well behaved i might add... not a peep♥
and loves being held...oo! oo!

DATE NIGHT...the movie♥

a movie sounded nice on saturday...so i went and saw 'DATE NIGHT' --steve carell/tina fey
(it was between DATE NIGHT and KICKASS) now i'm wondering if KICKASS would've been better.. the movie was still funny and entertaining.. and surprising casts kept appearing!
like mark wahlberg..ray liotta..mila kunis..james franco.. :)
thanks to 'the office' i've become quite the steve carell fan♥
i give the movie..a B i suppose :)

wassup, B? ♥

cute magnet i got for the jamus :)

get it?!
Wasabi!!
i'm the sushi roll..jamus is the wasabi...awww i like it!

Fuji Bakery...♥

so i finally checked out the "Fuji Bakery" in Bellevue.
i've heard so much about them and had been wanting to try it out.
since Erika and i canceled our Tulip Festival outing we decided to scope the place...
OMG!
just like the bakeries in japan, you get yourself a basket and use tongs to pick out what you want... it was amazing!!
they had everything from ぶどうパンtoカレーパン！
まさに日本のパン屋さんでした！
パンだけではなく、作りたてのサンドイッチなど。。。他にもケーキとか！
オカパンも超喜んでた♥
ってことで、来週はオカパンにいろいろ買ってあげよう！

これがティラミス♥　抹茶ティラミスとか、いちごショートケーキとか。。。
美味しそうなのがたくさん！

エリカの大好物：カレーパン
揚げたてでパンが超crispy♥

これはたしか：プチチェダーパン

（オーガニック）エッグサラダパン

プチ（スモーク）サーモンパン
*drools*

オモチ食べたい人！

久しぶりに実家に帰ったら、オカパンがオモチ食べてました！
うわ～日本人なのに超久しぶりに感じた☆

いい感じに膨らんでました。
美味しそう。。
