the girl with the dragon tattoo...!

omg omg!!
so i started reading "the girl with the dragon tattoo"
OMG!
the american remake is coming out December of this year and i'm SOOOO excited!!
first off... David Fincher is like one of my favorite directors♥
i love his darkness...and his style... and i'm confident that he will make this movie awesome!
i've heard that the original swedish films are great too, but i haven't seen those.
(although they are available on Netflix via streaming)
but i wanted to finish the book...and i'll probably watch the american version first.

also, rooney mara plays lisbeth salander in the american version.
i heart her... she's my new "It" girl.
it's crazy because she has such a cute innocent face but she totally changed her looks to be like Lisbeth. she went total goth (and i'm digging it♥)
she chopped off her hair, dyed it black and even pierced her nose, lips, brows and nipples to resemble the character.
the movie poster looks awesome! and the trailer came out a few days ago... *drools*
i'm super hyped.
the trailer also plays a led zeppelin cover, sung by Karen O. and Trent Reznor.. omg EPIC!

L.A. Noire...!

i'm not much of a gamer, but this game is awesome!

i'm horrible at navigating and using the PS3 controller so i just watch but this is highly recommended! it's a crime solving game and i LOVE games like this! puzzle/solving games.

it takes place in Los Angeles in the 1940s..the graphics are awesome!

the scenery, graphics, and the story overall is so realistic it's very o-to-na!

i don't care for violent games or fighting games.

like grand theft auto? psh... don't like that game.

street fighter? meh...it's so not-real! who throws fireballs?

but LA Noire? totally real.. i approve!

we play a detective and i assist james in solving crimes. hehe i'm his partner in crime!

oo! better get back to solving crimes!

rings GET♥!

we found our rings..!
we'll have to wait about a month or so for them to be ready...since we need to get it sized.
they're simple...pretty...and i love it♥

overnight magic...!

yes! i grew a mustache overnight folks!
i instantly look 3 times smarter than the average person.
i look sophisticated and beyond intelligent.
respect thy ivy!

thanks to alon for this rare miraculous moment caught on camera

*ploop* an egg on my desk...!

alon is like my year-round secret santa !
i came into work to this surprise!!
i got a hello kitty easter egg♥
filled with candy and stickers and that suuper cute skull pin♥
awesome monday!
--except for our stupid fire drill out in the rain today >:(

O_o !!

the eggmeritus easter egg contest...! *UPDATE*

i can't remember what all the categories were, but there were 8 categories!

i remember there was:
ugliest egg
prettiest egg
one you'd find in disco
one that looks like a kitteh
one that looks like a dead president
best facial hair egg
....can't remember what else...

anyway, i decided to enter 2 eggs for the "prettiest egg".

this one is purple-metallic with ribbons and gold star stickers all around!
ooO~Oo pretteh!

this one is more "cute" than pretty...
i made felt flowers and super-glued them all around!
there were lots of submissions for this category so my chances of winning are slim..
we'll see!


*UPDATE*

so here are some of the other submissions.
wow, hehehe creative!





so 5 eggs were submitted for the "prettiest egg"

and woohoo! i got 2nd place♥
and my prize was this totally rad giant (creepy) apple magnet!

a gray strand of hair.....

i found my first gray strand of hair...!!!!
i was straightening it over the weekend and spotted a noticeably shiny strand of hair....
i had to check it from different angles before i was sure it was a gray hair...
omg...can i blame this on pregnancy??

i still can't believe it... i pulled the hair out and i taped it to my mirror...
i'm gonna show erika next time she comes over.

Mac is here...!

Mac has arrived...! check out this beauty!
it's a 17" screen..

suuper nice! it's different from a PC, like totally different!

it's prettier --but i'm still learning how to use the other features.

yay this is gonna be fun!

the best part (so far) is the awesome "photo booth"

you can take pictures with morphed effects.

HAHAHAHA it's so funny i love it!

this is my favorite one!

he's so happy and looks like a kid!

this should be his new facebook profile

eeeew!!

horrendous!! just horrendous!!!

sleepiness....*yawn*

i may have experienced every stage of sleepiness today...
i even left work early and took a 3 hour nap when i got home!
oy... i wish we could have nap sessions at work... some quiet time to re-energize!

new baby blog...!

SO i announced today that i am expecting...!
i also created a separate blog on my pregnancy adventures!
not a whole lot right now but i uploaded a few ultrasound photos♥
it's @:
www.babychandayo.blogspot.com

hmmm...i may need to add some belly photos..
yikes!! i wonder how big i will get!

omg....♥ i said "YES!"

so this was on Friday--i was exhausted after work so i was being a lazy bum sleeping on the sofa.... then jamus came home and said he bought me a funny April Fool's card.

(?_?) w-w-whuh?! OH EM GEE!

i freaked out at first... it was on April fool's day so i repeatedly asked him if he was joking.
that would be so mean!
but it's no joke!♥ he just thought it would be funny to do it on April fool's day.
after midnight i asked to make sure this was real!
yes it's the real deal!
i said yes♥ OF COURSE!!
*followed by snotty embarassing happy tears*

he bought me red roses, non-alcoholic champagne (mamechan) and a ring-pop for now!
cherry flavored! (mmm loved ring pops when i was a kiddo)

as for ring shopping, he wanted me to go with him so we'll see! i've never ring shopped before... i have no clue! so happy i still can't believe it...
crap, i'm tearing up again... ♥

boston bloody terrier...!

awww he's crying blood!

日本で大地震！

昨日、3月11日（ジャパンタイム）大地震が発生！
なんと、恐ろしい（震度）マグニチュード8.9－－津波も発生し、仙台がめちゃくちゃに・・・
日本では一番最大な地震・・
連絡もしばらくは取れなくて、おかあさんが心配してました。
CNNで映像見てると、ショックで泣きたくなるよ。。
中国まで地震が感じられたそうです！
東京の方は仙台からかなり離れてるけど、それでも震度５・６ほどあって、
ビルがかなり揺れてたそうです。　
今、日本のニュースを見てるけど、アナウンサー達がヘルメットを被ってる。
今でもまだ地震が続いてるそうです。
みんなが無事でありますように！
心配です・・・

can't...update...

yes, i haven't blogged in days.. maybe even weeks..?!

well, there's a reason for this.
i'm on temporary hiatus.
but you all will find out soon♥

androidify yourself...!

i found a new app called "androidify"
you can make your own android☺
here is ivy-oid!

this is the jamus-oid.
super scruffy because jamus has been growing
his beardo super long but he actually just shaved it all off...
also, he is holding his beloved coffee

and this is the erika-pod.
since she's all about ninjas...well.. actually is that even a ninja wear?
probably not...but whatever, it looked like something she'd wear!

the bear that cares...!

awwww he's a cutie!
jane secretly left this on my desk--
i guess hannah (her daughter) found it in her stash of stuffed animals and decided it belonged to me♥ awww thanks hannah!
what does the purple rainbow care bear do?
i'm not too familiar with the Care Bears but they have superpowers don't they?

limonata sourness...!!

oh em gee people!!
alon introduced me to a super delicious drink!!! i've been obsessed with this new discovery
it's the Sanpellegrino Limonata drink♥♥♥
i really really heart it!!
i've never had this before but i also don't drink soda very often
i like to call this the "otona lemonade"
it's like lemonade sparkling water
the best part is the puckery sourness (^＊^)
it's like carbonated squeezed lemon juice
ooooo!!!!
jamus bought me a six pack and it's almost gone! O_o
