Want: Fly On Hello Kitty Airways

Hello Kitty themed aircraft! This fulfills my need for daily cuteness. I'd take everything that wasn't nailed down. Pillows, cutlery, headrest covers, everything.

Apropos to my persistence in acting like a twelve year old Japanese schoolgirl, while pulling kitchen duty at volunteering the other day I told the other girls about my obsession with Konapun. I said that had YouTube been around when I was in junior high I'd have been one of those girls posting Hello Kitty videos.

Kitchen expeditor: It has nothing to do with YouTube, you ARE one of those girls. 

Continuing Obsession

I can't stop watching Konapun videos on YouTube. I don't know why. I really think that had YouTube been around when I was in jr. high and high school, I would've made videos like this. Although mine would probably have a weekly series on Sailormoon.

On My Playlist: K-Pop

Even though I'm a CBC I have tendencies to go fob. This time I'm listening to K-Pop. Sparkles gave me 8Gb of K-Pop over the Christmas break and I've been bopping along during my commute.  Bada is my current favourite. Her music is catchy and cute. I'm trying to figure out if she's sampling Rick Astley in one of her songs. Does anyone else think Generation Next (starting at the 0:16 mark) samples Together Forever?

Oyster Fest Report

Oyster Fest was amazing. I forgot to take pictures so the above is Lisa's. I made a basic mignonette, bought Tabasco sauce, cocktail sauce, and lemons. Everyone ate their fill. Shucking the suckers required some elbow grease. Some of the oysters popped open with a slight flick of the wrist. Others I gave up on and just threw out. Hopefully this can become an annual tradition.

Oyster Fest Begins

My neighbour delivered the box early in the evening and I then spent the next 2 1/2 hours scrubbing them with a nailbrush under running water. Then I had to clean the sink which had seaweed, mud, and barnacles in it. So much cleaning!

I shucked a few of them and they're delicious. Wonderfully briny.

Oyster Fest!

My neighbour across the hallway orders fresh PEI oysters once a year from Burleigh Brothers. He told me about it last year and I asked him to include me in future orders. This year he included me and I ordered a CRATE of oysters. Each crate holds 100 Malpeque oysters and it'll cost me $86. Oyster Fest will be this Friday with the girls. I already told iDan that I'm kicking him out of the house that night.

Verbatim: I Guess I'm Doing Something Right

This year's makeup trend is smudgy and imperfect. Apparently I'm so ahead of the curve that I didn't even know I was doing it. I wore full make-up (brows, eyeliner and cheeks) yesterday because I felt like it. I took a shower at night and most of it washed off but I was too lazy to wipe off the rest of it. I went to volunteering this morning and one of the other girls in the kitchen took one look at me.

Her: I love your smokey eye makeup! 

Me: Oh, um...it's yesterday's leftover makeup.

So here is my makeup tip for this season: just sleep in your makeup.

Need a New Blender

Remember the Magic Bullet I bought last year? The one where I got called a "chink" on the street after purchasing it? Looks like the Magic Bullet picked up some bad mojo over it since it's on its last legs. The little tabs on the cup melted off into the base and are stuck there.

iDan and I are now debating whether to buy another one, get one of those professional blenders or get a professional immersion blender. I'm leaning towards a professional blender like the "Will It Blend?" one.
