So I was looking through gift websites for ideas on what to get my friends, I came upon PerpetualKid.com.

They carry Knock Knock stuff, which I am a fan of. They also carry a lot of interesting things… like bacon dental floss, toast bandages, etc. More pictures below the cut…

I saw Christina Aguilera’s new ad for Target. I really liked it, so I thought I’d share it with everyone. The comic book look fits her song well, I think.

I was unable to make it to the end of the HKO because I spent my whole day in NYC yesterday. This has become quite the tradition with my friends — going to NYC for the day, twice a year. We usually hit the same spots: Chinatown, SoHo, 34th street.

However, in our quest to find the closest Pinkberry to Penn Station, our pickup and drop-off point, we unknowingly stumbled upon an area in NYC that seems to be a Koreatown of sorts…

After eating at Pinkberry, we walked around and checked out places of interest. In one store called “Morning Glory,” I saw a Hello Kitty toaster!

I am not really a Hello Kitty fan — I tend to prefer Pochacco over her. But, I couldn’t resist so I took a phone pic. The coolest thing about this, besides being HK of course, is that her image supposedly gets “burned” into the bread when it’s toasted! Amazon has this toaster for sale for $24.99 for those who are interested.

The game has been so much fun! I have met a lot of wonderful people – mostly from being part of Sailoria. The people in this guild have been so helpful and are generally just nice people. If not for their help, I would probably be wandering around Sanrio Harbour wearing a white tank top and torn jeans holding a wooden wand :P

I can’t believe it’s ending this week! Unfortunately, I won’t be around during the last day as I will be on my traditional New York shopping trip with some friends, so I won’t be able to say goodbye to everyone :(

See you all in Open Beta!

I went to DC last Saturday to visit the International Spy Museum with my coworker and her friend. Flash photography and video recording was not allowed so I snuck in some cell phone pictures instead ^_^ Enjoy!

Upon entry, we were told to pick an identity and to remember all the details about that person. This is not a requirement, but it adds a fun element to the entire experience, I think. I picked the alias below because I related to her a lot more than the others. I’m pretty good at remembering details so I was kinda confident in my ability.

Maria Rivera

After we picked our new identities, we watched a brief video about spies and spying. Very interesting, I might say. Then, we enter the room with the first exhibit. There was a computer that tested you in your knowledge of your alias to see whether you will be able to enter the country of your “assignment.” Fortunately, I was able to “enter the country” without suspicion and then given further details about my mission. (I did not get a picture of this because there was a line of people behind me…)

Here are some pictures…

MurphyMy coworker recently adopted a German Shepherd mix named Murphy. He was rescued from a kill shelter by a foster family. My coworker found out that Murphy had diabetes, but adopted him nonetheless.

He was such a good dog and was always so energetic. I met him about a day after he was adopted. He was so behaved and calm and played well with the other dogs in the office.

Lately, he’d gotten sick and started vomitting blood. The vet said there was some inflammation in his organs, but that the antibiotics should help. My coworker was confident that Murphy was going to pull because despite the pain and the blood Murphy was still his old self.

Unfortunately, I found out this morning that Murphy didn’t pull through. He died last night at the age of one :( It is such a loss to many of my coworkers because we got used to seeing/playing/feeding Murphy almost everyday. My condolences are with his adoptive parents.

Riding on the wave of my previous link post, this next website has been a favorite of my friends, AY & MP, for awhile, so I thought I’d share it as well. Check out the following pictures from Passive-Aggressive Notes.com.

I gotta admit – there are quite the passive-aggressive notes posted everywhere in my work building. I’m gonna have to start talking pictures and sending them to the website. LOL.
