Pet Peeve of the Day
When I complain that Vancouver is too cold and rainy to dress summery, but when it starts to warm up I don't dress like it's warm.
Guess I can always find SOMETHING to complain about.
See, I have a lot of summer clothes. A ton. Too many. I know I have too many. I buy lots when it is summertime because I love them. So I like wearing them. I can't wear them 9 months of the year because usually it is too darn cold.
Vancouver is a place where it is actually practical to use the hood on your hoodie. Not for style. Substance.
But for whatever reason when it finally gets warm enough to change into sandals and shorts, I don't. I wear black outfits for the first 2 weeks that it's nice.
I don't know what's wrong with me. It's like I'm not convinced that it'll stay nice... almost as if the weather is fooling me.
Sometimes it does fool me and it rains the very next day. But I guess so I don't look like I'm off to a funeral, I'll start wearing some of my hoard of summery clothes.

Lyrics of the Day
You ask me if there'll come a time when I grow tired of you.
Never my love
Never my love
You wonder if this heart of mine will lose it's desire for you
Never my love
Never my love
What makes you think love will end?
...When you know that my whole life depends on you.
You say you fear I'll change my mind, I won't require you
Never my love
Never my love
How can you think love will end?
When I've asked you to spend your whole life with me?
You say you fear I'll change my mind...
I won't require you...
Never my love
Never my love
Association: Never My Love
Never my love
Never my love
You wonder if this heart of mine will lose it's desire for you
Never my love
Never my love
What makes you think love will end?
...When you know that my whole life depends on you.
You say you fear I'll change my mind, I won't require you
Never my love
Never my love
How can you think love will end?
When I've asked you to spend your whole life with me?
You say you fear I'll change my mind...
I won't require you...
Never my love
Never my love

Pet Peeve of the Day
I find most juice too sweet.
I dilute almost every beverage with water. I don't know if I'm the only one that does this, but I know I'm more the exception than the rule.
Most orange juice out of the carton makes me cringe with how sugary it tastes to me. I leave 3 inches from the top of the glass and fill 2 of those inches with water.
Apple juice, same thing.
Cranberry? Get that water in there.
Are my taste buds broken? Am I hypersensitive to tastes? I feel the same way with chips: that they are too salty. I want to rinse chips off because they have too much salt!
I guess it's better for me that I consume more water and fewer saltier things. That's my rationale for how weird I am.

Pet Peeve of the Day
People's houses that smell funny.
Not funny, I guess. But when they smell like food. My family is Chinese. This means a lot of strong cooking with stinky ingredients. My house hasn't ever really smelled Chinese.
There isn't a secret. There isn't some conspiracy. It involves opening windows and turning on the exhaust fan above our stove.
We rent out our basement, have for years. A few of our past tenants are strange. They don't open the window even a crack when they cook. They don't turn on any fans. Then they complain that their clothes smell like pasta, burgers, meat, whatever.
HMM. SUCH A MYSTERY.

Poetry of the Day
Furball yawns in my face.
If it fits, she sits.
She sleeps where she wants, poops all day long.
Curls up in a ball, twitches herself to sleep.
Such a spaz. Runs from everything.
Bolts at the slightest noise.
Such a spaz.
But she rolls around, makes tinny little meows.
Licks my hand.
I can't resist.

Licks my hand.

Review: Tresemmé Keratin Smooth Shampoo
I don't usually go mental over shampoos. I usually buy 3-4 bottles once there's a sale. I like stocking up on things when they're a bargain.
Now, my old bottle of Tresemmé has been around for years. I am not exaggerating. It was one of those massive 1.17L bottles with the pump. It was a gargantuan bottle of product, and I used it all up.
I actually really liked that bottle. In the years that I was using that product, Tresemmé has completely revamped and repackaged their shampoos. They don't look quite the same anymore!
Since I finished my old bottle that I really liked, I figured I would try another bottle of Tresemmé. But this time I wouldn't commit to a huge bottle because I didn't want to use the same shampoo for years. I wanted some more variety.
...Granted, I usually have 3-4 bottles of shampoo and 1-2 bottles of conditioner in my shower at all times, just to keep myself on my toes.
So I saw that Tresemmé was on sale at the store, and decided to try their relatively new Keratin Smooth Shampoo. I hadn't read any reviews, I had no idea if it'd be incredible or just okay.
It turns out that I noticed a very nice and semi-noticeable difference to my hair. When I say semi-noticeable, I mean that when I asked my friends if they noticed anything different about me, some of them said no, and a few of them said my hair looked less frizzy.
That's good enough for me!
Plus, I love the scent and it washes out very clean. One other thing I've always liked about Tresemmé is that it's one of the few brands that doesn't give me dandruff if I don't use conditioner. I know that's kind of bizarre, but I find with some brands if I forgo the conditioner, my scalp gets flaky and very dry. But I'm lazy! I don't want to always use conditioner! So I like finding a shampoo that's moisturizing enough as it is.
Yay! New shampoo!
