Day 133: I hate my bathroom

Published on Tuesday, August 26, 2008

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

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.

Went to C’s again Friday night. Met some peo­ple from USA’s East Coast. Apparently they know sign language.

Girl lip-​​synced another girl’s voice

Published on Wednesday, August 13, 2008

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!
