SCREENSHOTZ
HAIGAIZ!

I was at work today, and found out that on each computer, my blog looks different, so i spent about an hour today, changing things around cos they looked REALLY terrible on my work-computer. Little did i remember that back at home, my settings at home were also changing, so when i got back to my lovely mac at home, my screen was all wide-like, and i started to panic. I swear this will be the last time i rant about my bee-log lay-out.

I was wondering whether you'd be able to do a huge favour and tell me whether my blog looks like this on your computer...



or the photos are EXTRA LARGE, and the screen looks all tacky-like. if it's only my computer that it looks purdy on, i will totes change it, cos i know how tackiness can scare the fashionistas etc away, and we wouldnt want that now, would we.

You could even go a step further and send a screenshot (Mac users hold SHIFT,APPLE and 3 all at the same time) (Windows, PRINTSCREEN) and send it to my email athrynkay.inghay@gmail.com.. or attach it somehow.

I'll send the first 10 people that send me a screenshot, a Limited Addition JACK DANIELS Bumper sticker i found the other day at the local.

WHHHEEE!!! It's the weekend, plans for the w/e, anyone? x

merci beaucoup girls
Thanks to Naka from Naka's net and Willow and Daria from Pigtails and Blushing Cheeks for this... cute blog award. shucks guyz.

10 people to pass it on to.. wow. you've pretty much stolen everyone i know, so.. can i pass it back onto other people?

The Rules are:
1. Each blogger must post these rules
2. Each Blogger starts with 10 random facts/habits about themselves
3. If tagged, you must re-post and post the rules
4. Don't forget to leave a comment and tell them why they've been tagged.


10 random facts

1. I can never match socks for the life of me. The day i don't wear odd socks will be the day...

2.i like cheese and cake, but not cheese cake.

3.i have more than 100 hair ties next to my bed. each night i take one off, put it next to much bed, and the pile just keeps mounting. one day i'll make an artwork out of them.

4. although i am asian by decent, i am unable to use a rice cooker, am terrible with the language and hate chicken feet.. but do enjoy using chopsticks, talking fast and chinese new year.. so.. i can be thrown into a semi-generalised category.

5. i'm terrible at trivia. i can remember random facts, but when push comes to shove and the pressure is on, i cave. big time.

6.i have eaten macdonald's chips and their soft serve. together. admittedly it was quite nice. and yes. i would do it again.

7. A boy once told me chocolate wasn't good for dogs but they could have his milk. from that day onwards, i have fed my dog a bowl of milk each morning to avoid the little boy getting angry.

8. my bedside clocks are never on time. i have at least 3. I try to set them fast so that i can get to places on time. or wake up earlier than i plan to. it has never worked. I have done it for 5 years and counting. maybe this will be my lucky year. at the moment they are 7 minutes, 12 minutes and 3 minutes fast.

9. i started blogging less than a month ago, contradictory to what my profile says. I thought blogging was a form of walking at one stage in my life, apparently not. if this is walking, then this is the best darn exercise i have done in a long time.

10.i'm christian.

If Only..


So it seems that the weather here is getting warmer, yet not warm enough to laze by the pool... If only it was hot enough to have the ice-cream truck melt..


Well it seems that to bide my time here, seeing as it is so cold outside, (and i have overspent like crazy.. i have to resort to playing Dr Mario online. Crazy, i know, but it is such a wonderful game. I have never been much of a gamer myself, but now that I have rekindled my childhood love with Dr Mario.. (his moustache, his DR title...) I am not sure what will happen.. Maybe in a few months you'll find me huddled in a corner...



PS..


Total expenditure so far:

Sale 3 x Cotton On thin skivvies [charcoal, black grey]

Sale Siren Dramatic Heelz. ; $200 reduced to $99

Sale Minkpink  leggings ; $50 reduced to $29

Evil Twin high waisted skirt

Minkpink Pants

Kookaï pirate scarf

Babooshka Doll Necklace

Witchery knitted Cardigan

Sale Witchery airy top ; $120 reduced to $50

Sale Witchery bowed cardigan ; $130 reduced to $70


total price: Way over budget.


Oh well, the sun had reappeared, and i have been told the pool is heated, I am going to try it!

... and re-pack my bag for the trip back. (my dad convinced me that i would be able to fit everything into a carry on bag on the way here.. I shouldnt have listened. there is no way i am going to be able to re-pack everything on the way back.

Retro Gaming
So, Ladies, today I'm going to let you in on a little secret and tell you how to get 'in' with a man.

It's simple. ready?

Know a bit about gaming and computers. Most of the time, men have a hidden obsession about computers.. either that, or they're totally clueless, and in either case, they will be impressed you know something about computers.``Sigh of relief. There. I didn't think i'd be able to get through that secret without making my hands all clammy or running away with the computer.

Whether they choose to deny it or not, they all love computer games. All the time. That's why they're so terrible to talk to on MSN.. or the equivalent depending on what country you're in (AOL, ICQ.. etc etc...)
To them, it's called "LANNING". When i first heard it i thought.. hmm.. LAN.. that must mean 'losers and nigels' but no.. it means Local Area Network.. CRAZY! I knowz. They hook up their computers together and have a super crazy knock out of game playing.. OR.. with the hip-haps of technology these days, they simply just LAN over the internet..

Retro Gaming is in Girls.

Here's a bit of a backstory about Nintendo, the creatorz of today's Wii, and yesterday's now, retro games.
Nintendo founded in 1889 by Fusajiro Yamauchi, was Nintendo Koppai. Based in Kyoto, Nintendo's original product was hanafuda cards.
The cards gained popularity and Yamauchi soon had to hire assistants to keep up with demand. After Yamauchi retired, his son-in-law, Sekiryo Yamauchi, took over. He continued to run the company until 1949.

I love reading about Nintendo, as it is not only a pinnicle of gaming design,
but is a Japanese Company, and I am quite fond of Japanese Language and culture.

Here's a small timeline of their pre-technoz era.

The Colour Game Tv.
[How Ridiculously old school is this!]


The Nes Control
[See Below re: Mouse Vomit]
...& The Nes



The Famicon



Designs by Shigeru Miyamoto
He's still a gun at 54, heading the design Team for the Nintendo Wii




Anyway, what got me started on this in the first place, is a design from Mousevomit
which i thought brought out various aspects of the Nes quite well. Check him out, he also does photography and illustration.


The other reason that i brought up retro-gaming is that this morning i popped into class, and being a floater between second and third year at uni, i have little friends in my classes.. Mostly third years that took a year off last year, or are doing a double degree like myself.
Well.. that categorises my two friends who do this morning's subject, and with both of them not turning up today, I was in a pickle..

But wait! What's that?
There was a guy sitting there playing a Nintendo DS, and with the research i'd done for this post as well as the broad general knowledge i have for lanning, [ i'd started it yesterday and am actually finally posting on Wednesday night]... I could easily strike up a conversation.

That's right ladies. You do the talking.
BE THE MAN. WEAR THE PANTS.

... Don't get me wrong, there are only 15 people in our class as it is a design school, but being in this class for 10 weeks, i probably should have 'made friends' as such with more than 2 people in my class, but hey, i've always been known to be a late bloomer. BOOM.

``Anyway, we got onto the topic of retro gaming, and it turns out that he was totes into it. *BING
``He also was kinda kute with a k. *BING
``He was impressed at my knowledge of retro gaming. *BING
``He then proceeded to show me what game he was playing (A dolled-up version of Space Invaders. Does anyone remember that? Well I do. semi. But pretended to know more so for the aim of befriending someone. *BING
``He offered me to play a 'stage' for him. That's just a level.. or 'have a go'
Note: *BIG STEP FOR LANNERZ as they take a lot of pride in their games, and they being good at them. I guess by letting me havea go, he brought his average down by about 10 points, but hey, i'm a girl. Gimme some Slack.

..I had a friend for the rest of the class, and i even got a name. N---. *BING

total points from me: enough

So, I guess the moral to the story, or at least from that one scenario i have to prove to you, Retro gaming is totes in. I promise i'm not generalising.
Vague Much?

but no seriously, check it out. The design was so classy, and being japanese, it was ahead of time compared to any other company around at that stage.


So remember,
*LAN
*Retro-Gaming
*NES
*Blogging is awesome

Alright. You're ready. You go get'em galz.

Sorry the post is so long! Granny is Angry and unimpressed.
