sherryillkThat Strand tote is finally mine! Tell me it isn't awesome!
I think it's pretty awesome. It went off without a hitch. I caught the bus to 14th Street, went and got some money and then hit Strand. I found the tote and my Haruki Murakami novel really easily and I was in and out pretty quickly. I did browse around a bit though -- I couldn't help myself. I checked out the manga and there was this volume of Kare Kano but it was one that I already had so I didn't get it. It was too bad too -- it was volume 16, the last volume that I bought of the series too... I went through the fiction and scifi/fantasy stacks, saw a couple that was somewhat interesting but decided to just stick with The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle only.
I'm so enamored by my new tote. It's perfect, exactly what I wanted. I so love it!!!
Anyway, I went and hit East Village Cheese again. I still have some more of those nasty Stoned Wheat Thins and the only thing I can eat them with is something yummy and strong tasting and Boursin is so that. While I was there, I also picked up some more hummus and some more crackers (I don't have that much of those nasty crackers left -- I have to use the Boursin with something, right?). I also went and got Honest Tea's Heavenly Honey Green Tea. I had their Lori's Lemon Tea which was pretty good so I decided to try their also very highly rated Heavenly Honey Green Tea as well. I found this great review site for drinks called The Beverage Network and it's like amazing. And since I love drinks, I went through it, trying to find something new. I first stumbled on it, trying to find the best Vitamin Water flavor but now I use it for everything. And on it, Honest Tea in the PET bottles were rated really high.
I don't normally like green tea, but this is with a touch of honey to make it a bit sweeter and it is totally organic, and thus a bit more expensive than normal stuff. I had been meaning to try the honey green tea for a while now so when I saw that it was being sold for $1.49 at East Village Cheese, I snatched it up. The place that I got it last time from sold each bottle for $2 so it was a save. I have yet to try it though... I'm a bit afraid to open it up. I've never been a big fan of green tea -- not as it is, not in ice cream nor in Pocky... But this got great reviews so it has to be pretty yummy, right? :\
Okay, some other stuff. First some downloads! These two songs are in Cantonese and are from the HK Pop Star, Alex Fong (also known as 方力申). I saw his latest album up at Jpopsuki and since I'm always out for more Cantonese music, especially from male artists, I went and downloaded it.
The first song on his album was called 在你遙遠的附近 (and is the name of the album, blew me away. First I noticed the piano which I knew Diana would totally squee at. And she did. ^^ Anyway, the piano was good. And then he started singing and I was like, wow, his voice is good. Then I wiki'ed him (I adore Wikipedia! I wiki everything nowadays!) and found out he was the guy I liked from Beautiful Cooking, this fake cooking show that forces cute and beautiful Cantonese stars to try and cook.
The other song I uploaded is 冷靜熱情之間 which sung with also two members of Cookies -- Stephie Tang and Theresa Fu. Diana remarked on the fact that she was surprised that I liked this song because of the whole girl thing but it's normally only girls. Also I do admit that occasionally the addition of a girl vocalist in a song with a guy does ruin a song for me but not always. Here, the girls' voices seemed to match the guy's and the song rather well and it's this happy song too... *shrugs* I liked it, what else can I say?
So, after, I found Alex Fong's songs on Jpopsuki, I decided to see what other Chinese songs were on the trackers so I did a search. And what I wound up with are 南拳媽媽's first two albums! Diana should recognize the name -- they did 香草吧噗 which we were both obsessed about for the longest time. It's always bothered me that it seemed like we always had a rip of the song but now I have real version! Turns out it was the same song so I always did have the real version but at least I know it now. Plus, I have more of their songs! I've always been trying to find more of their songs without any luck and now... I'm totally ecstatic! ^^
Today was a good day. A new book, a cool tote bag, yummy cheese and crackers, a new tea and new songs! I'm totally happy right now. And it's still early! ^^
