I would love to have something that gathers content from my twitter feed, instagram, facebook, lj, whatever and pulls them together all in one place. I hate the idea of losing track because there are more efficient services for different types of things ( Read more... )

When you're 65% sure that something is a mistake, but one you're so curious and tempted to make -- then what?

I need to look at myself and my priorities. Is it a bigger waste to sit and be idle, or to tangle up my emotions needlessly? I am finally nearing normalBut you're right, there's a line between mistake and being stupid, and I'm not quite ( Read more... )

All that said about being reasonably content, I think I came off as quiet and dark and I need to work on that a ton more. Also, I have a huge crush on my sister-in-law's older brother's wife. Huge, gigantic, momentous, I want to be related to you. Amusingly enough, when calling my mom she brought it up out of nowhere: Charlie's wife is really great ( Read more... )

I've been following all the different news and commentary on the killing of bin Laden.

While I think it would have been ideal to capture him, I am not too bothered about how things unfolded. Yes, it was a violation of international law. It was definitely a violation of Pakistan's sovereignty. Still, he posed a continuing threat to national ( Read more... )

I finished The Witch of Portobello on the bus from Osaka yesterday. I had bought it off of an ALT at a New Zealand earthquake fundraiser in March, and I ended up breaking it up over more or less a month.

Perhaps moreso after reading The Devil and Miss Prym, I really enjoyed this one. The story was actually a story, moved a lot more, revealed a lot ( Read more... )

I am starting to feel pretty terrible about all the money I've spent this weekend, but it's nothing a few weeks of the ultra simple life won't cure. I hope ( Read more... )

I took the Kirakira bus straight from Tottori to Yokohama last night. It was gloriously easy and $30 cheaper than the other line I had been taking. Win ( Read more... )

I spend so many of my waking (and non-working) hours obsessing over scenarios that involve Jin and Yamapi and eternal love that I have begun to wonder what my other hobbies are. By this I mean hobbies that the general population could participate in and maybe even relate to ( Read more... )

I can't believe how much physical stamina/endurance/whatever I've lost since the food poisoning incident in Shanghai. I am so much weaker than I was before I left, and I was never that strong to begin with. I am re-training myself with exercises and stretching and stairs, but it's disheartening how quickly progress is lost. Going to taiko these ( Read more... )

Don't you wish that you could remember the things you sensed in exquisite detail -- like how something tastes -- and just keep that memory? Not even forever-- a couple of months would do. I think about this a lot, lately, because it seems like such a waste to have a great meal only once ( Read more... )
