Ahhh, I don’t know how I’d function without technology. Speaking of technology, my new purchase: Canon EOS Rebel Xsi. I’m loving it so far (a few pictures can be found on Facebook), but am starting my hunt for better lenses. Will update if anything new develops.
Congratulations to everyone working on the Mars Phoenix Lander mission. You actually found ice on Mars!
I first found out while reading my Twitter, on which MarsPhoenix tweeted:
MarsPhoenix: Are you ready to celebrate? Well, get ready: We have ICE!!!!! Yes, ICE, *WATER ICE* on Mars! w00t!!! Best day ever!!
I’m totally stoked right now. This is awesome!
June 19, 2008 — Dice-size crumbs of bright material have vanished from inside a trench where they were photographed by NASA’s Phoenix Mars Lander four days ago, convincing scientists that the material was frozen water that vaporized after digging exposed it.

This Saturday, we drove down to Atlantic City and visited The Borgata for a day. I don’t gamble, but usually it’s amusing to just walk around and see other people lose money. However, I must say, my experience at The Borgata was sub-par. It’s good to have a tight security and check people’s IDs, but they must’ve had a stick up their ass.
You get carded to play. You get carded to watch. You get carded again, when the dealer changes.
Granted, I’m a tiny Asian girl, so it’s not much of a surprise that I got harassed for my ID so often. Still. Bugger off, Borgata.

Artist or Series // Song Title
Thelma Aoyama (feat. SoulJa) // Soba Ni Iru Ne
Language: Japanese
Rating: 
Comment: One of Thelma Aoyama’s singles, which reached #1 on Japan’s Oricon charts. It’s got an R&B flavor to it. Give it a try, it’s not very often that I like Asian R&B/hip-hop music.
Jordin Sparks // One Step At A Time
Language: English
Rating: 
Comment: The latest song that I’ve heard from Jordin Sparks. It’s pop to the extreme, but it’s very catchy and I love it. She performed this song in this past Season 7’s American Idol show.
The Last Goodnight // Stay Beautiful
Language: English
Rating: 
Comment: I absolutely love this song. It’s infectious, upbeat and just wonderful. Highly recommended!
Amuro Namie // Baby Don’t Cry
Language: Japanese
Rating: 
Comment: I’m not sure how old this song is, but it’s pretty good. Amuro Namie’s a talented J-Pop artist.
Iron and Wine // Passing Afternoon
Language: English
Rating:
Comment: If you like Iron and Wine at all, I suggest you get this song immediately. I first heard it in the season finale of House. Unsurprisingly, it’s a mellow and slow-paced song. But if you’re in the mood for music like this, it’ll rock your socks off.
