“January Randoms” is actually just a poor excuse to to tell everyone that I’ve run out of things to say (but look out for *self-promo* “Maintaining an Audience For Your Blog” this Friday).

- Random look from last week (right).
- I started designing a new theme which I probably won’t finish until like summer. Is it just me or is releasing new Wordpress themes such a pain-in-the-butt?
- We got the breakfast wrap back at work and we were all excited until we tasted some new fancy ingredients they put in there… the old one was better because it was simpler.
Boo. - Style Resolution updates: Prints? Fail. Change my purse more often? Fail (still carrying the same one I’ve been carrying since last November). Be more high maintenance? Fail.
- Still haven’t dyed my hair brown yet because I don’t know exactly what I want to do with it yet. What too dooo? Should I get blond lowlights? Should I get fusion hair extensions (definitely not braids)? Should I just stick with my clip-ons? Should I get straight bangs?

I’m on a bottle.

My Blackberry finally has a place on my desk.

Mochi likes to sit by the window and wait for my mom to come home.. and when she does, she jumps on the side table and gets stuck on there so she can’t run downstairs to greet her.

Actually I’m liking the change now except for the breakfast wraps.. they added BBQ sauce in it this morning instead of salsa. Gross!

No, it’s a huge pain-in-the-butt, which is why I have only done it once.
I still loved your red hair, even though I’m sure you were sick of it. Maybe add some colored chunks or dye the tips of something? I’m of the opinion that people who can pull off bright colors should very much do so for the benefit of the masses who can’t

Haha I love my red hair but the upkeep is too much… my hair is a faded nasty red/pink right now because I’ve been too lazy to dye it again (it’s annoying because my bottom layer is black and I have to split my hair into sections). I’m going dark brown tomorrow all over (I KNOW… BORING!) and I’m going to let it grow up before doing something funky again.

Weird, we almost have the same monkey-shaped phone holder. Mine is on my work desk (to the right) here: http://flickr.com/photos/princesspeach/2675377243/

Hahah Mochi is adorable! That’s so convenient that she can stand up there and peer out! I always feel bad when little doggies can’t make it up to a window to peek!
Hahha I’m awful at writing short entries myself!
Aww your blackberry looks so cute in that stuffed holder thingy!

Go into a salon and let them advice you about your hair, a good salon will give hair advice that fits your face
Mochi is so cute!

Ooooh can’t wait for the new layout and your dog is soooooooo cute!
REPLY
Oooooo I’m looking forward to the new layout
REPLY
thanks for the author suggestion katy
BTW I got your xmas card! But it got damaged along the way.. so I only have half the card which was delivered in a plastic cover from canada post. still, the design’s really nice and thanks for the card=)
REPLY
I think the easiest way is clip on bangs haha. Maybe some days you feel like straight bangs, and others you don’t. Plus you can use the straight bangs and make a meat ball bun on your head XD
i love how the drink says water product haha
REPLY
That bottle is the best ever! LOL, and my Blackberry still needs a bed.
As far as hair – I haven’t dyed mine either. But, for my hair type and cut, I think I’m going to stick with the light brown and blonde highlights. I look really weird with dark hair. It’s hard to explain.
But, your hair is pretty long and your face shape is pretty flexible with all hair colors and cuts. I say go for the bangs and get a really warm brown!
Our puppies should be best friends
I have a puggle. Her name is Lola .. and she’s a pest, but I love her. LOL.

Mochi is a spoiled little brat too courtesy of my mom who gives her anything she wants. Her first birthday is coming up and I think my mom is planning a birthday party for her. Omg.
I still love Mochi though! One day we should have an online puppy playdate. However that will work.
REPLY
I think randoms are the best kind of posts.
I loooooove the pointy shoes. Very stylish.
REPLY
Lol, I love writing “random” posts. I love the scarf in your random look from last week! And your Blackberry-holder-thing is super cute.
I feel like Mochi is going to fall out the window D:
REPLY
I’m not sure if bangs will work but they are cute sometimes
i think low lights would be nice in brown hair.
I wanted to ask – where do you get your blackbery skins? i need a new one since my case is all scratched up. *grr*
and don’t worry if you don’t feel like you have anything to post about – your personal life is still interesting to read about!

I don’t remember where I got my BB skin for but there are lots of sites where you can order it like http://www.istyles.com
It’s better to order a couple at once (just in case you want to change it) to save on shipping costs.
REPLY
LOL MOCHI!! That is TOO funny!
Also, the monkey BlackBerry holder is cute.
REPLY
I think bangs would look really cute on you!
If I didn’t have super curly hair, I would probably sport bangs.
Mochi is adorable!
REPLY
Yeah, I find designing themes a bit of a mission. Maybe that’s because I’m a scientist, not a web designer, but who knows.
Working on a new one at the moment though, if I can remember what to do. Lol.

Wordpress themes are a big pain in the butt. I’m lazy and usually just change my header, haha. I think you should dye your hair first and then think about the cut. I usually do it that way so I can see the color with my skin tone first and go from there.
REPLY
Yeah, definitely try coloring your hair first, and see where you want to go from there. Not too fond of lights myself because of a bad experience with them
And yes, wordpress themes are such a pain to make.
REPLY
Oh….I like your outfit.
I agree with Tracy about the hair. I’ve heard this season lights are completely out. Maybe you should try coloring it first and then see.
REPLY
get clip on bangs, like me ! then u can have both looks ^^

I think I’ll end up getting clip on bangs too!
REPLY
Mochi’s so cute – as usual.
I think those bangs would look good on you, because of your straight hair. But as I remember you wanted to make it wavy? Hm, maybe die your hair first and then think about the bangs?
Cute blackberry holder

The only reason I’m thinking twice about bangs is that I use to get so annoyed when I had side bangs! But I will definitely color it first and then talk to the stylist on what to do next. I just want something funkier than all over brown so it’s taking me a long time to decide!
