Want!!!

I know there's an answer

I've been in Christchurch for little over a week now and to tell you the truth, I'm bored. The weather has been uncooperative. It's been mostly doom and gloom lately (maybe because I'm PMS-ing), and the cold is even worse when there's no one under the blanket with you.

One can only knit for so long, so here's a meme I came across:

4 Jobs I Would Stink At:
1. Flyer distributor - is there anything worse than constant rejection?
2. Something in advertising - I can't sell to save my life. I'd rather give things away.
3. Business writer - tried it for a week, was awful.
4. Call center person - I cry easily in the face of abuse.

4 Nicknames I made up for myself/Others made up for me:
1. Tin-tin - childhood nickname
2. Kris - college nickname
3. Stine - only two people are allowed to call me this
4. Klim - most recent nickname, quickly spreading through the newsroom much to my chagrin

4 Movies/TV series I can watch over and over again:
1. Dazed and Confused - Haven't seen it in a while but the lines always come back to me.
2. Firefly
3. Band of Brothers - must have seen each at least 5 times.
4. Late Night with Conan O'Brien - all day and all night, baby

4 Things I love to do on weekends
1. SLEEP!
2. Watch TV the whole damn day
3. Roll over then sleep some more
4. Eat popcorn

4 Alcoholic Beverages
1. Beer
2. Baileys
3. Vodka + Sprite
4. Spiked Prom Punch

4 Vacation Destinations
1. Japan
2. Roland Garros
3. Wilco's Loft
4. Middle Earth

4 Celebrities I would date:
1. Conan O'Brien
2. Olivia Munn
3. Ned, the Piemaker
4. Captain Tightpants aka Mal Reynolds aka Nathan Fillion aka Captain Hammer

4 things I can't live without:
1. Milk
2. Mom
3. Music
4. Something else that starts with M...

4 Gadgets/Appliances I wish I had:
1. Kitchen Aid mixer
2. Tivo
3. Wii
4. Time Machine

Street View Seattle


View Larger Map
I found out from The Stranger's Blog (aka Slog) that google maps has Seattle in Street View now. Up there is tourist spot Pike Place Market. And just a few steps from Pike Place is Post Alley where they serve the best clam chowder/seafood bisque I have ever tasted.

And here's my crazy Uncle Sonny's house! Please don't stalk him though...

Gee, this is fun. I wonder if they'll ever get around to making a Street View of Manila. Won't that be insane?

Ahh, Portland has one too! More time I can waste! I just found my aunt's house!

As I said earlier, New Zealand is coming around to summer and everything is in bloom making Christchurch a pleasure to be at.

Obviously this guy is enjoying the warm weather. Taking a nap in Latimer Square, just a stone's throw from the apartment.

For months I've been bugging Marc for my birthday present. And finally I get one!

Isn't it awesome? It has something to do with computers and 3D and other things. He tried to explain it to me, but I'm just happy I have a pink bunny (aka "Punny")


At Le Cafe.
