in TV

I got this fortune in a fortune cookie in the union of U of I last time i was down there. I didn't think I still had it until it fell out of my coat pocket and MattH picked it up at BW3s. Night People: Anybody who goes to bed the same day they got up is a quitter. I concur. My tummy is full, too much teriaki chicken wings. I bought the dvd of Rent. Yay. I started and finished reading Chuck Palahniuk's Survivor the other day in less than 24 hours. Very good book. It starts on page 289 and...

in Chicago Auto Show, hair

Dying My Hair Black I was watching Snow White the other day (the Faerie Tale Theatre version — do you remember those?) and decided I really wanted to look like Snow White. I mean, who doesn't want to look like Snow White? Lips red as blood. Skin as white as snow. Hair as black as ebony. Etcetera. Etcetera. So, I tried dying my hair black. Again. This time with permanent hair dye. This time it worked a lot better. It's like black black. I went into work today with my newly-dyed black hair and my boss saw it and said, "I love your...

in birthday, movies

I suppose it's time for a recap of my wonderful, thrilling life! I know you were waiting on the edge of your seat in anticipation. And I'd hate to disappoint. So here is a random list of everythingedness: 1. After watching the trailer for Brokeback to the Future (see earlier post), I decided that I really wanted to see Back to the Future (I also want to see Brokeback Mountain still too). I had actually never seen B2TF before. I'd seen bits and pieces here and there, but never the full together movie. So, I told...

in Kirsten Dunst

So on the radio this morning Eric & Kathy were talking about how Kirsten Dunst was apparently mistaken for a hooker and approached outside of a hotel by an old man who wanted to lick whipped cream off of her. They then asked people to call in if they had ever been mistaken for a hooker or a stripper. They then threw in "Eh, we'll take it if you've ever been mistaken for Kirsten Dunst." I so was going to call in, because, while I've never been mistaken for a stripper, I have been mistaken for Kirsten Dunst. I...

in hair, Val's best year ever

So I've always wanted jet black hair. So, being Val's best year ever, I figured now was the best time to try it out. I just bought one of those dyes that's only supposed to last 10 days, and it didn't turn out as dark as I'd hoped. Perhaps later I will try a permanent one. Anyways, this is moi with black hair: What do you think?...

in birthday, my birthday

In continuing with my strive to towards having the best year ever, I just had quite possibly my best birthday ever (even surpassing the infamous 21st birthday party where I got everyone so wasted they were throwing up all over the place). For my 25th birthday, we went to Parallel 42, a wine bar in Riverside that I heard of through a girl in my magazine writing class who wrote an article on local wine bars. I seriously had the three of the best wines I've ever had in my life: prosecco, an ice wine ($15 a glass, but worth...

in birthday, my birthday

So, 10 minutes left of my 25th birthday! Too bad I am sick :( I left early from work Monday and stayed home Tuesday because of a sore throat, fever, and general ickyness. I feel better than I did, but my nose is all stuffed and I'm coughing like crazy. I went to lunch with Matt and Matt at Panera for soup to celebrate and after dinner I went out with MattyK to a restaurant where he had a hamburger and I had a piece of chocolate cake. yumyum. He insisted that the waitress would think i was...
