Alright, that just cans it
I have refrained from ranting about the public and Hollywood reactions to Roman Polanski's arrest, mainly because I've been covering it on facebook, but now I need a place to do a long, elaborate, angry rant. And LJ, you serve that purpose well.
Let's get something very clear here: If this were about Roman Polanski being guilty or not, some slack ( Read more... ) -
Flu shots and an amusing story
I just got my flu shot today. It's absolutely essential that I get one this year, as this will be my first full on winter without once retreating to my tropical hidey house. I wonder if I'll learn to hibernate ( Read more... ) -
Reality has been forced upon me since I landed on Maui
Well, after a too-short, wonderful, dream-fulfilling, illustrious trip to Japan, I am now facing the usual problems that you tend not to think about while enjoying yourself abroad. Namely, the question of tuition. Mercifully, the financial aid this year has been unusually generous, so I only owe the university about $1,000 ( Read more... ) -
So I'm finally done with school
It's been a long time since I updated, eh? Between the insanity of school, the insanity of work, and the insanity of doodling about on the internet not doing much else.... I have neglected poor LJ.

The figurines for Return of the Jedi are particularly cool. Leave a comment 5The Splendid Outcast
I swear, my father's bookshelf is like magic sometimes. I can always go over there, and no matter how many times I've previously combed it, a new book will catch my eye and entice me into reading it, and the book is always a treasure.
In this case, I picked up two books by Beryl Markham. I read the introduction to the first one, The Splendid ( Read more... )
