Wednesday night, I was making  tuna helper and trying to keep the cats out of the kitchen, right, but had to go outside for some milk (our inside fridge was fried when the power went out during the hurricane). The door to our kitchen is also our back door, and in my haste to keep the cat out, slammed the door on the middle part of my left pointer ( Read more... )

Watched Prisoner of Azkaban two nights in a row, 'cause it's my absolute favorite. Cuaron created a perfect adaptation as far as I'm concerned. It moves fluidly, with not a minute dragging by, as is felt in all the others (except maybe the last, also a movie I want to see again). Not too slavishly devoted to the source material but not leaving out ( Read more... )

'Cause a picspam of hotness is always enjoyable =D

My top ten:

( Sally forth for my current top ten )

If Christmas is quiet, it's a success here; it was about half and half this year =\ My sister got a Kindle at her office Xmas party and didn't want it, so I was the lucky beneficiary of her dick boss's largess (seriously, he's a prick). The only thing better than a Kindle is a free Kindle, so I've spent the last week or so grabbing up free e-books ( Read more... )

Found another fun way to study a foreign language: read the wikipedia page of a favorite subject or new passion in that language, especially if you have a firefox extension like Rikaichan which deciphers unknown words for you (so much easier than inputting the words into my dictionaries one by one; such a useful extension). Finding out about the ( Read more... )

時々私のネットの姿はここから消えてしまうかな。 ごめん。(Trying to say I disappear from here from time to time, and that I apologize. Practice is as practice does; 6 days till next Japanese class. Yay! for long and tiring winter break.)

Since I'm behind on too many things (namely, Doctor Who), I've gone underground again. I was spoiled for TW: CoE last time, and while that ( Read more... )

Don't kill Tidus! (But really, please do =3) Really hated Blitzball in that game and the horrible job with the laughing sequence between him and Yuna on the boat (god, that was hard to defend at the time). What I love is VIII ♥♥♥♥♥ and IV :)

Game by the Hsu and Chan artist from EGM; he's awesome, love his blog posts and the comics he put up. And now ( Read more... )

     Just finished watching Pinocchio of all things, a swell of nostalgia having overwhelmed me on its new DVD release. Two of my siblings have never seen it - which is a crime - and still haven't after tonight =/

My mom says as a kid I had to watch it once a day and was in love with little, adorable Figaro. It apparently it was the first ( Read more... )

Here's a couple lessons I've learned recently:

1) When you basically strap yourself to a computer for a week to write term papers, you actually begin to loathe the computer you so recently loved.

2) When your gut is telling you that an old driver for a program you used a few years back to play Japanese BL games ( Read more... )

     Since I won't wax political here - especially since I almost daily put myself into a politics-derived coma, what with the number of blogs I frequent - I'll say one solitary thing about the VP debate on Thursday (which everyone in the house watched, amazingly enough): when Sarah Palin said "for the greater good" near the end of the debate, my ( Read more... )
