another quote [Dec. 21st, 2009|01:32 am] [ Current Location | bedroom ] [ Current Mood | tired ] [ Current Music | Star Trek: First Contact ] "It's so simple. The Borg hurt you, and now you're going to hurt them back." "In my century, we don't succumb to revenge. We have a more evolved sensibility." "Bullshit!" It's nice to see holes poked into the show's Utopian bubble. I'd like to quote the whole scene, really, but I'm too lazy. [EDIT: "So much for the Enterprise-E." "We barely knew her." "You think they'll build another one?" "Plenty of letters left in the alphabet." Hah! Waitin' for the Enterprise-W.] Link Gaze at the moon.

quote [Dec. 21st, 2009|12:29 am] [ Current Location | bedroom ] [ Current Mood | hot ] [ Current Music | Star Trek: First Contact ] "Captain, I believe I am feeling anxiety.

"Data, there are times that I envy you." - Picard and Data, from Star Trek: First Contact Ugh, my room's too hot. I have nothing but my sports bra on on top, too. If only I could think of it as summer, I'd be able to even enjoy this, but my "living life" psychology seems to be immune to placebo effects.

Tostitos tortilla chips [Dec. 18th, 2009|12:38 am] [ Current Location | basement ] [ Current Mood | disappointed ] I guess Twitter's down right now? The other day I was really in the mood for tortilla chips and salsa, so I bought some at Walgreens, but when I came home I discovered we had an open bag of tortilla chips so I had those instead. So now I opened the Tostitos chips I had bought, and am distressed with how unimpressive they are. Primarily, they're super thin and just kind of crumble at the slightest pressure, which makes for an oddly frustrating experience. So yeah, not buying Tostitos' tortilla chips again. :( Link 5 have been calmed.|Gaze at the moon.

elders' deaths [Dec. 17th, 2009|02:20 am] [ Current Location | bedroom ] [ Current Mood | distressed ] [ Current Music | the train horn blowing ] It's nearly two in the morning, I'm laying in bed with the lights off trying to sleep, and my mind is obsessing over the truth that my grandpa could very easily die in the next five years, or earlier. That's gut-wrenching enough, but add to that that it's very possible he could go without warning; without me having a chance to say all the things I want to. If I can't become an adult before he passes away, I at least want to promise him that I will, and anshin saseru him about tings like that. Or maybe he already is anshin, but for my own sake... I feel like I want some sort of blessing from him? Or I want him to assure me that he's anshin, so I don't have to feel bad about that? It's been.. Two years? Maybe one. I know it was winter, anyway... Siince I had my last really serious flare-ups of my necrophobia. But especially since grandpa had his mini-stroke this week, my anxieties surrounding my grandpa, and even my parents, eventually being dead and removed from my world has flared up for the first time in I think much longer. I almost acknowledge and accept my own death more than I do any of theirs. I know nearly everyone has to face that pain and void, but right now... I can't possibly fathom how they do. Instead I just remain in a sort of denial or temporary ignorance of it. (Truth be told, I thnk this is part of how I get by when my necrophobia isn't flared up - I manage to go through life with nothing but a superficial acknowledgment of my own eventual death.) When I was talking to Grandpa while he was in the hospital the other day, I casually asked him if it was scary for him. He said he wasn't scared of death at all; it would just be over. (I think Dad used to be rather scared, but now he's essentially in the same place; I wonder if that's a sign that I'll eventually get there too...) So obviously, I've lightly broached the topic of him dying, but I have no idea how to bring up the things I want to tell him before he goes. It's just so... morbid. And even if he tells me he's not scared, it still seems insensitive. But as I said, although I can do nothing to escape from my anxiety over his eventual death, maybe if I can get those things off my chest, I can at least relieve my anxiety about that, as well as any regret I might have when he does go. Roy (Roger's dad), Oma, and Opa are a whole 'nother issue. I really need to call Roy this weekend, methinks. I haven't talked to him in... Maybe two years as well. ><; But Oma and Opa... Yeah. I almost feel like that's a lost cause. :( In a way I'm grateful that I haven't seen them in so long, since the loss will probably be far less painful, but I think the guilt will be so, so much worse. On the plus side, I think typing this out has calmed my mind down enough to let me go to sleep. Yay! Link 2 have been calmed.|Gaze at the moon.

wrong order [Dec. 13th, 2009|11:10 pm] [ Current Location | basement ] [ Current Mood | embarrassed ] Oops. I just accidentally watched the last episode of Michiko to Hacchin before the penultimate one, and didn't realize it until the VERY end. That would explain why I felt something was missing...

Ano... [Dec. 13th, 2009|01:45 am] [ Current Location | basement ] [ Current Mood | confused ] [ Current Music | SOUL EATER - BLACK☆STAR (lost myself) ] Marginal social costs are equal to A. Marginal private costs plus marginal private benefit B. external costs C. marginal social cost plus external costs D. marginal social costs minus external costs Something seems wrong with this question... In the notes, MSC is equal to (marginal) private cost plus (marginal) external cost. I'm going to guess the "correct answer" is C, and they just mis-typed that. [EDIT: This one seems off too: In an attempt to raise sales, Hannah cut prices in her bookstore by 20 percent. If the dollar value of her sales remained constant, that indicates A. the demand curve is vertical. B. old customers bought no more books. C. no new customers bought books. D. the quantity of books sold increased 20 percent. I believe the answer should be "the quantity of books sold increased by 25 percent".] Link Gaze at the moon.

I'm hoping they're just old (can't remember when I bought them) and that my new charger isn't bad. # 15:32 Genmaicha's 20% off at TeaSource this month! Definitely gonna need to order that before the month ends. # 15:58 Finally updated the names/addresses of my family members in Outlook (and thus on my iPod); also put in my work schedule. # 16:06 Looking at the pic of Obama bowing to the Japanese emperor, but mostly I'm thinking about how pretty the empress' kimono is. # 17:52 Ugh, for whatever reason my mind's in the gutter right now. When Hunny sang the line "Mori no naka de mo", yeah... *attempts to scrub mind* # 18:52 "one new cast member in particular is dying of the great plague of cinema, the mysterious and unexplained Coughing-Up-Blood Disease" - ANN # 21:12 Sometimes I really love my life. How strange is it that today it was ANNCast that gave me that feeling? # 21:26 Alright, fave Doctor Who quote: "Hello. Okay... New teeth. That's weird. So where was I?" # 21:30 Mrf. I need to start my unit 3 test for macro. *continues to procrastinate* # 22:00 Love the song ル・アーブル港へ from シェヴァリエ. (It's that one with the frenetic violins, sort of like Flight of the Bumblebee.) # 00:42 Due to INSANE procrastination (took a shower, even), I took 3(/4) hours to take that test, and then got 91.67%, partly from stupid mistakes. # 00:45 Of course, part of the cause of the mistakes was that I knew I could retake it once so I didn't double-check. But whatever - I'll retake it. # 00:49 Hmm, for whatever reason my calendar items aren't showing up on my iPod. Weird. # 00:53 Last note before bed: PAY DAY! 'xcept almost all of it is going to my chichi. *laughs* # Link Gaze at the moon.

Norio Walken [Nov. 23rd, 2009|10:02 am] [ Current Location | living room ] [ Current Mood | amused ] [ Current Music | E.R. on TV ] "The second Norio Wakamoto shows up everyone knows what kind of character he's going to play. He's the Christopher Walken of anime, for cryin' out loud." - Daryl Surat on Anime World Order Show #83 Bought some Suave Advanced Therapy lotion last night, and that seems to do the trick wonderfully. Yay! Managed to give myself a small cut (a papercut, really) on my finger with a bread knife. Makes me feel quite pathetic. ^^; I also managed to place the bandaid partially over the furthest joint, making it rather difficult to type, but I'm too lazy to repositiion it. *laughs* Sam's starting to smell like a dog again after her last bath about a week ago. It's not too bad yet, but soon I won't be quite as willing tot give her good scritches. Andy won't shut up, and the effectiveness of banging on his cage has worn off. God I hate birds. Or at least ones that squawk their heads off like Andy and Remy do. Seriously, if they die, I'll clap my hands for joy, I think. Marcia and Dianne reorganized the kitchen this weekend, and as a result we now have both recycling bins available for use at once, meaning we can sort it as we throw stuff away, rather than me sorting it all on Wednesday. I am chou happy about this. Link Gaze at the moon.
