blodeueddBecause I'm just like the House of Commons, I am. XD
Before that, though, I want to know why weekends go by so quickly. It's unfair! Yesterday I got mah hair did, went to ballet class, then spent the rest of the day with Jill. We at sushi, we stitched, we bitched, and we drank lots of blueberry wine. It was great. Today, I met up with Jamie, Eda and Hannah to eat burritos. The burritos were very large. I also had yummy tortilla chips and guacamole. After lunch, Hannah and I went to Shinjuku. We spent some time in Kinokuniya -- I immediately went to the porn section, i.e. the travel section. I may have bought a guide to Singapore. ^.^ After that, we waited in line for ages to get a slice of tart (for me) and a glass of air freshener (for Hannah). For what was left of the afternoon, we shopped a bit, got lost, and Hannah imparted some wisdom of the make-up variety, because I know sadly little of such things, and it turns out I kind of care about the state of my face.
Someone needs to tell shop managers in Shinjuku to lay off the fragrances. In Studio Alta, I kept sneezing, it was so strong, and even in Lumine, I had several uncomfortable "ITCHY NOSE!" moments. And I don't even have that sensitive a nose! :P
Since I've gotten home, I've eaten, cleaned up cat vomit, and posted a Travelpod entry. Oh, and I did laundry. Why am I so exhausted?!
Here are some more questions, these ones courtesy of my favourite hobbit in the whole wide world (and that includes the imaginary ones),![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nekonezumi.
1) What flavor or scent do you associate most with winter?
To me, the scent of winter is cold night air that freezes its way up your nose. Or the smell of a cat's fur when it's just come in from outside, a scent that's vaguely reminiscent of smoke and steel. The scent of clementines and evergreens is specifically a Christmas smell to me, not of winter in general.
2) Would you rather give up hotpot or ice cream?? D:
Ice cream. There are other ways to cool down in the summer, and plenty of other desserts to enjoy when craving sweets. And really, one can't boast of having eaten the world's spiciest ice cream, eh? ^_^
3) What vintage fashions would you most like to see become the vogue in the near future?
You were the one who said once that the 1920s were my decade, right? I love the aesthetics of the era: the drop-waisted dresses, the long ropes of pearls, the short hair, the shoes, the elaborate beadwork. And beads are sparkly, and we all know how I feel about sparkly things! :D
4) What language would you choose to study after you've mastered Mandarin and Japanese, and why?
If that day ever comes... Hah. Probably German. I've got the family name to go with it, for one thing, and I like the sound of it. Plus, my youngest brother is learning it now and damn it, I'm the polyglot of the family!
5) What's your favorite way to eat a bagel? (what kind of bagel, toasted or untoasted, butter/jam/cream cheese/other??)
My standard order at Tim Horton's is a toasted blueberry bagel with cream cheese (cinnamon-raisin if they're out of blueberry, as the Ottawa Airport one often is, grr!), and for several years, my usual lunch was a sesame seed bagel with either cream cheese or peanut butter.
That said, the ultimate bagel experience is a fresh poppy seed bagel, toasted, with raspberry jam and either brie or camembert on it. (I know, I know, as if the raspberries weren't bad enough, SOFT CHEESE! XD)

By the way, my kender: as soon as I get a job, I will be able to start thinking about trips, one of which will certainly be a trip to Japan to visit you folks, but if the possibility still exists to make our adventures into a trilogy, I would certainly still be up for it. ♥ Even without reservations. ...Sometimes.

Well of COURSE it has to be a trilogy! Though we should perhaps save Egypt for... another time. ^_^;;;

Date: 2011-02-28 02:18 pm (UTC)And right before the riots in Libya, I saw this picture and I was like, "AHHH, I have to go there, it looks so cool!!" *___* But since that's a trip that's easily combined with Egypt anyway, we can reserve it for a tetralogy and wait until things simmer down.
Very well, then! Blueberry it will be if I ever opt to try that combination!
Rumor has it that Denmark produces cheeses hard and soft.
