"direct $username" =/= direct message
Saturday, February 2nd, 2008 10:52 amI'm trying to remember how to send a direct message. I accidentally posted something public that I shouldn't, and managed to give THE tiny subset of THE WHOLE WORLD who reads my Twitter a peek into the random, embarrassing series of events that is my life.
Deleted now, so it only reached those who were following me through something other than the web interface. Still, oops?

Magicians of Love
Saturday, February 2nd, 2008 05:13 pmI just realized that I have never watched an entire series in Chinese. Let me go remedy that (I'm watching "Magicians of Love" right now, about... a beauty parlor?)
The show has been on my computer for ages now, but I've put off watching it because I'm not very fluent in Chinese, so I'd have to rely on subs, which means that I'd need to concentrate on what I'm watching instead of multi-tasking the way I usually do when I'm watching a show in English.
However, I've just discovered that I understand Chinese better than I give myself credit for. Unlike with Japanese shows, I'm not relying strictly on the subs. This tickles me.
