I went and bought the Magic of Escher hardcover book that B&N had for just under $20 in the Bargain Books section. It's selling on Amazon's marketplace for $40 up through $80, which is just silly.

But oh god, it's a gorgeous book. They've created fold-out pages to help provide a continuous look at Escher's 'Metamorphoses' piece --the one that I ( Read more... )

I think I might be crashing and burning. ( Read if you wanted to see me this weekend, read if you like me and care about me, read if you hate me and want to see me miserable. )

Things I learned today:

• I have no idea what I would like to do, though getting a degree in library science or interior design sound like fun...and a waste of time, because my attention span is about thislong.
• Yakuza in jail apparently shove pearls up their urethra.(Courtesy of Seldom Asked Questions about Japan)
• I have the same blood type ( ( Read more... )

Arrived back from Singapore this evening. Doing loads of laundry and trying desperately to stay awake long enough to make sure all my interview-appropriate clothes get washed. I find it irritating that I have to pack, unpack, and pack again all in the space of 24 hours. Pity my face is breaking out. Bad enough I'm overweight, acne on top of that ( Read more... )

Gravitation wank. Some guy on the ANN forum declares hate unto the rabid yaoi fangirls who saturate his fandom: Gravitation. I watch it over and over because I understand it deeply. They watch it over and over again because it's cool. And I don't even want to get in to the whole sexual-orientation-of-the-viewer topic...

Internet is wonderful. Being able to hear from friends is wonderful. Hearing bad news as a result is not so wonderful. *sigh* But I love everyone and wish I could do more.

It's also nice to read yaoi_daily again, though since my internet connection is in the living room, reading the lovely new chapters is a bit....awkward. There's a new one by Noana Bohra ( Read more... )

Two hours of sleep + a 45 minute nap, the usual graduation stress, and seeing friends for possibly the last time are taking their toll on me: I started crying four times while I was with Jarcin. It hit me that I will really miss Joelle, really miss sci-fi club and getting to further know the people I've started opening up to, and how much I'm at a ( Read more... )

....Perky blond 40-something woman with frightening enthusiasm: "I love feeling clean! That's why I use Super Colon Cleanse! Clean from the inside out!"

I love commercials. They're usually more entertaining than the TV programs themselves.

"The name is Kaiba. Gackt Kaiba."

My paper wound up topping out at 9.7 pages, with six quotations total. ( Read more... )

I found some absolutely amazing Death Note L x Raito doujin dls. I also now have all 5 FMA 'Bean' doujin scanlations.

Also downloaded a buttload of yaoi scanlations.

Anyone who wants a character spliced with Chii's underpants should check out the available samples here and then sail on over to pantsu_icons with an image of your choice.

I feel nauseous, and dizzy. I know why, too: I didn't get enough sleep the past two days. Apparently trying to make up for 4 hours of sleep by sleeping 7 the next day just doesn't cut it. So I'm skipping class, turning on the AC, and eating some reasonably healthy food before reclining and dozing. (Sorry, Yvette, I meant to go, I really did. >_<) ( Read more... )
