 10/02/2006 | I've (finally) MOVED I've moved to my new domain: http://lovesasha.net . Please visit me there in the future! Same thing, just different location. I am vowing now to never post about boring things like layouts in the future, so here is my quick once-and-done: I have everything mostly under control, just a few quirks with the comments layout, I haven't fixed how the comments show on some of the older posts (the link on the post says there's none, but they're there) and probably a few minor things that I've yet to discover. If you do notice any errors, be a dear and let me know ^__^ I also added a "characters" page for reference (with fake pictures!), in case I am confusing when I talk about people I know. I tried to find pics that resembled the people, that part was fun.

9/27/2006 | Quick update The hair situation is not quite under control. It's lighter, yes, but not quite where I like it. It was $$$$$$ and that's all I'm going to say. Sad face :( Since I'm not completely happy, I'm going back tomorrow to get it fixed. I think the black eyebrows are also not helping. What was I thinkng?????? After work, I met up with Matteo to use his Mom's dicount card at Macy's, but I didn't find anything I liked. So, I went to the Sanrio store and got this instead for my desk at work: It's a toaster that hold notecards that look like toast. You press a button when you want one and they pop up like toast! hahaha. I spent a good 20 mintues chatting about Hello Kitty with the store manager. MUST GET LIFE. I would post a pic of my desk at work, but I would get the beat down from security if I brought a camera in. It's quite HKish, however =^'.'^= // posted by Sasha @ 9/27/2006 11:21:00 PM 2 comments
| PostSecret Frank Warren (of PostSecret) is giving a talk at the Reading Public Museum this Saturday at 2PM. I really want to go! But alas, I have no one to go with. It is football weekend, and my social circle is small. Maybe I will get up the courage to go alone? Though I would feel quite lame. Making new friends after college is hard. I barely know anyone here any more, and I don't really have the time to go meet new people (plus, where am I going to be meeting these people?). I'm so busy w/ work and grad classes that I only have time to see Mat/friends on the weekend. // posted by Sasha @ 9/27/2006 12:13:00 AM 2 comments
9/26/2006 | Time for some more shallowness I made an appointment to get my hair fixed tomorrow morning. (*crosses fingers*) The funny things is that my boss was up at my site today (he sits in DC, I'm in Philly) and saw me with my freako hair. He didn't recognize me at first, haha. So yeah, that's all I really have to write about today because I only got home a half hour ago. I went shopping after work, whee. Pictures b/c it's fun (and I had my camera out already):  You can't see it, but the one on the right is a deep blue and black stripe. Cute things from UO clearance. Address book, adorable journal (because I need another one like I need a hole in the head), picture frames, and a super cute stationary set with envelopes, stickers, and paper folded into a cassette case (which would probably be useful if I wrote letters, but it was cute and $1). Does anyone else remember the days when Urban Outfitters was actually a cheap store? :( Or.... the old orginal Bath & Body works logo? (hint: it's the green one in the middle). Found this while I was cleaning, hahaha. It's so old!  I've got to do more shopping before the tourists come for Christmas presents. Gah. // posted by Sasha @ 9/26/2006 09:20:00 PM 30 comments
9/24/2006 | Holy crap Well, I could write about the fight I had with my mom before I left. Or about being bored at his drunko relative's psu game party. Or about how Mat slept really late today, and we couldn't do anything. But honestly, I'm over all that, and it really was just trivial crap. PGH was alright, could have been better, but I wasn't expecting it to be. My immediate problem? Well see for yourself:  On the way home I stopped and bought dye for my hair. It needed a change, was looking horrible, and I decided to go for dark brown. The box picture had dark brown!! Though it did say the color was a shade of soft black... but it looked brown!!! I guess that will teach me to believe the picture over the description. I will be washing my hair in dishwashing liquid many times in attempt to strip some of the color. PS: excuse my deranged looks. Some of the dye is still on my skin, the distortion from my glasses gives me interesting black spots near my eyes, and holy crap, it looks even worse in person because it's so damn black (there's not much of a contrast with the dark brown walls, but in other rooms, it looks much worse!) I guess I will be working from home until I get this fixed..... hahahaha. UPDATE: Look, I dyed it again! I was afraid to use something with a lot of bleach, so I just used a leeeeeeetle bit. It wasn't enough. My hair is still black. It does not look very nice with my pasty skin... just a couple shades lighter would be good. Now, the real question is, am I brave enough to strip it myself and recolor, or should I go the safe route and pay the $200 to have it done professionally? I would like to do it myself, would be easier to fit in my schedule, but I'm leery of all those haircolor horror stories I just read online. I should probably just make an appointment now... curses!! haha. I thought I was being adventurous in making it darker... didn't realize that I'd be screwing it up.  // posted by Sasha @ 9/24/2006 11:44:00 PM 3 comments
9/23/2006 | grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Tonight is quite frustrating. I'm working on my new site (I've finally found time!!) but it has been slow going. Getting Blogger beta (current blogging tool) to export to Wordpress (future blogging tool) has been a nightmare! I think I've finally gotten it under control, though the comments are messed up a bit. It's still under construction. Grr. I will be spending the next two days in Pittsburgh. I travel too much. I was in State College and Harrisburg, PA last weekend, then in DC/MD during the week, finally came back, and now I'm leaving again. Gahhhhh. I've had no time to do laundry, so I'm doing it now, at 12:30AM. wheeeee. So why am I going to Pittsburgh, you ask?? Well, I'm visiting Mat's family. Not quite sure why they want me to come out there (I see them at the stupid football games every weekend, though that's another story), but I am. Mat has two Italian grandmothers, one of which lives with his parents and speaks no English while the other lives down the street and speaks with a thick accent. Over the years I have learned a tiny bit of Italian, but the grandmothers speak Sicilian, which I don't understand at all. They are the quintessential picture of old fascist Italy: they wear the standard black Italian "little old lady" garb. They run around cooking and cleaning all day, while watching Italian TV and frequently arguing with each other (about cooking or cleaning, of course). Apparently they (whom I never speak to and they never speak to me) want me to visit??? I'd much rather stay home. It's a 4.5 hour drive each way. I have a lot of things to catch up on and I keep getting farther behind because I have to give up my weekends for Mat and stupid football, and now this. I'm getting annoyed. This is not going to continue happening!!!!!!!! haaaaaa. I'm boycotting next week's game. I know Mat will try to convince me to go, but fuck him, I made it clear before he even bought the tickets that I was not going. Silly me to expect him to understand this!! And even stupider of me to allow myself to get roped into going each week. It's only been two games, but this is my blog and I feel like being a big whiner right now. Expect a rant on Sunday when I get back (probably about the Mat situation or Mat's family). My feelings are like a pendulum: one minute I'm swinging toward bliss, then next I'm right at annoyance. I'm at annoyance now. I have been getting annoyed at him a lot lately. This can't be a good sign. Also, I think I am weird. I very much enjoy staying in on a Friday night. It's not that I don't enjoy the company of others, but I very much enjoy my own. When I admit this, I feel like a narcissistic antisocial weirdo... but it's quite true! haha. Sometimes it's nice not to have to do anything or associate with anyone. Maybe this is where the whole introvert thing comes into play. // posted by Sasha @ 9/23/2006 12:39:00 AM 2 comments

9/20/2006 | this is how you procrastinate, children  Now, I should be doing things like packing for my trip or ironing my clothes for tomorrow so that I can leave on time (I am not a morning person in the least. I usually get to work between 9 and 9:30). I should have left tonight, the drive from Philly to DC in the morning is one big mess of traffic. But, after watching today's show, I decided to dress my swiffer up in clothing instead. Hello kitty represent!!!! you can also see my new walls. I'll probably post a pic after I finish decorating :)  And, since it was on my camera too, here is my work buddy squirrley. Squirrley chills with me when I work from home on those days I decide to work on the patio. // posted by Sasha @ 9/20/2006 12:26:00 AM 2 comments
