a few things
I’m into porcelain and ceramic figurines at the moment (hence, the two bunnies we found recently). Here are some by artist Barnaby Barford I saw in the nov. issue of wallpaper. They commissioned him to create these dolls to feature the latest looks by big brands like LV and Gucci. The pics are crap so best to just find the issue and take a look for yourself.
Lladro does more traditional pieces. A lot of them are kinda cheese, but there are some pretty, more contemporary ones in there as well.
We walked into a new furniture store at Pacific Place today. Found a super cool rug, but unfortunately the price was way uncool - $42,000 HK. It’s from The Rug Company, designed by Committee. They also have some designed by Marni, Vivienne Westwood and others.
And lastly, Eug and I have been playing designer ourselves! We’ve been experimenting with dyes lately. We started off with tie-dye. Using my jr. high experience and a youtube tutorial we did some on headbands, socks and tees. It was fun, but a bit too hippyish. So then we just dyed t-shirts without all the swirls and stuff. Got some kinda cool results. Next, I want to try some on a light-colored pair of jeans. We’re hoping to host a night of Drinking and Dying (clothes, not like death-dying, of course) with a few friends soon. Hopefully the dyes we bought will survive washings.

jon in HK
Jon was in town this weekend. (missed you joan!) But I kept forgetting my camera so unfortunately there are no pics. We went out on Friday to a few bars and clubs. Had a pretty fun night. I took a jello shot for the first time in ages. And I got lots of dancing in, which is always a big plus. Even if it was mostly by myself. Sad…
Saturday a small group of us were invited of to jon’s parents’ place for thanksgiving dinner. It was yummy. Felt good to sit down and have a proper turkey day. Loved their house. Makes me want one. A real place. And then, of course, as always happens when an event is catered around jon, we went to karaoke. It was pretty fun. Though, current English songs were a bit lacking.
Eug and I saw the heartbreak kid today. It was not nearly as funny as something about mary, but it did it’s job. we laughed a lot and there were some good gross moments.

new to me
this site's probably been around, but i just found it through refinery29
http://streetpeeper.com/
i like it cause it tells you what they're wearing...it kinda answers that nagging feeling you get sometimes when walking down the street and you fall in love with something someone is wearing and you're dying to ask her where she got it...but you don't

the truth
so, not only am i out of the loop in terms of tv, i'm also out of the loop in terms of tv and entertainment news. my friend jen explains the real 30 rock situation below.
"Okay the reason why 30 Rock is stopping is because there is a writer’s strike in the industry. No writers are writing anything right now and they are striking at all the big networks and film lots in Hollywood and NYC. Tina Fey is a writer first, actor second so she’s been on the picket line since day one. It started last Monday so we’ll see how long it goes for. It might go on for a long time which means that the business is in serious trouble. We’re all really worried/stressed about it."
she's stressed because she works in the biz as an agent. not cause she's weird.

i miss you, American television
i took this clip from ken's blog...because it's awesome, and is definitely worth messing up the right side of the page for a few posts.
alex baldwin, you are as they say, fine wine. who would've thought he had this in him? even after these past few years of some excellent performances. sad that they're going the way of arrested development. i thought surely the show had more mainstream appeal...

eug turns 29
We went to macau this weekend for eug’s bday. It was so much fun. It was hodgepodge of our friends here but we all bonded over beyonce’s concert at the Venetian. Not that we’re huge fans, but it was a great show. I gotta give it to her, she’s a great performer. The production was amazing. There were side acts with different female musicians and dancers. The male dancers were especially badass. She sampled a lot and sang covers as well, which was a bit of a cheat to me, but kept it entertaining. And she saved irreplaceable for last. It was a great way to end the show. Her voice, while not as amazing as Christina Aguilera’s could really hold it’s own in that giant stadium.
We decided not to buy our return tix til that night which was initially considered a bad idea since the only ones left were 12:30 am and 7 am. We didn’t gamble much – eug lost $1500HK – oh well. After the concert we headed over to a club called sky 21. I woulda lasted longer if it were hip-hop, but dancing is dancing!
Around 3 am, eug, sarah and I headed to the pier to go on standby. We ended up sharing a cab with an older white australian guy who is a big-time slots machine guy. forget what he did exactly, but turned out he and sarah, who's from australia, knew someone in common. what a small world fer reals. anyways, we got to the pier only to find out that the return tix the venetian sold us were non-exchangeable! Luckily there was a scalper nearby and we were able to work out a deal with him. with 40 mins til the 4 am ferry, we headed over the .5 mile-long bridge in search of some food. We chowed down on our MSG-laden noodle soup with 15 mins to scurry back across the bridge in anticipation of whether or not we were sold scam tix. I guess we weren't because within minutes we were knocked out on the way back to HK. We finally made it to our beds around 6:30 am.
It was a great night. Lotsa just roaming around and going with the flow. It was a good thing that we got stuck with 7 am tix. Oh, to feel young and carefree.
i didn’t take too many pics and the ones from the concert were just not working out - but here they are…
