Day 133: I hate my bathroom

Published on Tuesday, August 26, 2008 in Blog.

WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK! MY BATHROOM WREAKS! I don’t even know what that smell is! It used to be just shit, but now it’s like shit plus piss, jizz, barf and roadkill all blended into vapor that has spread into my entire apartment.

It’s definitely from the bathroom because the smell is 10 times stronger in there. I can’t stay there for too long because I feel like the odor would get attached to my hair and my clothes, and stay in my lungs. In fact I DO feel it in my lungs, and my throat, but I don’t know if I’m just imagining.

For the record, my bathroom is totally clean! An ayi comes once a week and she does a fantastic job. I don’t make a mess either. I’m definitely getting some kind of spray tomorrow, though it won’t help much.

I’ve notified the guy I’m supposed to notify and I think he said he’ll look into it the next time he’s in my area. When the hell is that gonna be.

I’m gonna start brushing my teeth in the kitchen, with a brand new toothbrush. I should evacuate the towel too.

Day 132: Tianzifang

Published on Monday, August 25, 2008 in Blog.

Walked around Tianzifang yesterday with a few people. Let’s see if I can remember everyone’s names… Jady, Jenn, Aviva, Harman, Khalid, Bonnie. (Bosephone didn’t come because her other friends were more important than us.) Later that night we watched the Olympics Closing Ceremony at Zapata’s. Boring as hell, but congrats to China for the 51 gold medals. Anyway, photos of Tianzifang below.

Girl lip-synced another girl’s voice

Published on Wednesday, August 13, 2008 in Blog.

Yang Peiyu and Lin Miaoke

So there’s this controversy about how the little girl (Lin Miaoke) who lip-synced at the Olympics Opening Ceremony was actually lip-syncing to another little girl’s voice (Yang Peiyu). (Details here.) Personally I don’t see anything wrong with that.

One girl is more photogenic than the other. It’s not a mean thing to say. If we call one of them ugly, then yeah that’s mean and totally wrong considering how they’re children, but that’s exactly what people are doing by making this a big deal.

Look at them. Both of them are adorable, but Lin Miaoke looks better in front of cameras so she’s in the show. I haven’t heard Lin Miaoke sing, but Yang Peiyu probably does a better job and therefore her voice is in the show. Keyword: show.

The organizers took the best elements of the two girls and put them in the show. It’s as simple as that. If people are going to criticize that, they might as well criticize the entire Olympics for being unfair and not awarding everybody Gold medals!
