It's not that I don't understand calls to boycott Arizona and I'm pissed at the laws being passed here as much as pretty much anyone, but the thought of the boycotts themselves sort of leave a pit in my stomach. I mean, our economy is hella shitty, jobs are scarce and it's not hard to imagine who will be most effected if well-meaning people from ( Read more... )

I am not impressed, finals "week" which is actually more like three weeks. Which gives me lots of time to study, except I'm pretty sure that my grades ( Read more... )

So for my Chinese linguistics class I have to give a half hour presentation. One of the first presentations of the semester, actually, I'm like fourth out of the class. The topics we've heard so far were stuff like, "How the Chinese Writing System Was Developed" and "How the Simplified Characters Were Derived." Okay, cool, that's interesting stuff ( Read more... )

It's no longer an ear infection! Oh, they're probably still infected, but they don't hurt much anymore so I'm ignoring them, I'm distracted by my eyes. They've turned Jesus fucking Christ red, coated in slime, and they actually crusted over in the night last night. Too gross? Well imagine how I felt when I was all I CAN'T OPEN MY EEEEEEEYES D: ( Read more... )

My linguistics final went shockingly well, except due to running on literally no sleep at all I couldn't think of a proper example of a Spoonerism, and so in desperation I scrawled down "cupid stunts," which I think is a username I've seen around sf_drama. Yes. On my hardest final for my most important class, on this ridiculously serious business test, I ( Read more... )

Oh man guys I did like everything wrong and my final is scheduled for eight o'clock in the morning not at night and now I don't get any sleep tonight which actually isn't that big a deal I mean I'll live and also I've got no time to do any last minute studying which also isn't a big deal since I'm pretty confident about the material but the real ( Read more... )

My brother scored Appetite for Destruction on vinyl and didn't think that was worth mentioning to me. I came home, and like I usually do when I'm here, the first thing I did was check my record collection to make everything's where I left it-and then, "Dude, where the fuck did this come from ( Read more... )

So. Dreamwidth. I like the site a lot, and I hope I can split my Internet attention even further and put my account over there to good use. immelmanturn brought up the concern that she wouldn't be able to keep up with her friends over there, and after investigating the problem, I discovered you can set up an RSS feed of your Dreamwidth like so: today_dw. LJ users ( Read more... )

I have a pile of linguistics work to do-seriously, it's at least a few hours worth, all of it problem solving creative thinking crap and some of it due tomorrow morning-and I also have a fucking migraine. It's pretty mild at the moment, as far as brain splitting headaches go, but goddamn it could well get worse, it's already bad enough I can't ( Read more... )
