This is one of those articles I just need to spam everything. It certainly makes you sit back and think about your life.

40 of the Most Powerful Photographs Ever Taken

I don't necessary agree that all of them need to be in the list, but they certainly are powerful. ;3; I cried looking at quite a few.

EDIT: Unrelated, but omg, there's only two more Space Shuttle missions before it ends. ;A; This makes me sad. This program has been running for longer than I've been alive!

Dude. Graduation is so COMPLICATED. @_@; I have all these lunches/dinners I have to attend, as well as fixing end-of-college things like making sure that anything sent to my ( Read more... )

I PASSED PHYSICS! With some luck (assuming nothing goes wrong with the Physical Chemistry final on Friday), I should definitely be graduating and I'll never have to take another Physics course ever again. <(^_^<) <(^_^)> (>^_^)>

Only two exams left before I'm free to start packing up for home and celebrating with my fellow seniors. :D Not going to ( Read more... )

It worries me that China just had five (FIVE!) attacks on schools in the last month. People are running in and stabbing at children or hitting them with hammers, and dozens of kids are injured or killed in each attack.

What... I have no words. :( What is causing this? People cite vague things like personal unhappiness and a helplessness against the ( Read more... )

Back from Tekkoshocon! So... tired... As far as I know, this con went really well. Nothing huge/horrible happened, DeathCom was extremely nice and (somewhat) well organized this year, and overall it was just very well run. :) I had a great time because I just spent most of it hanging out with old (and some new) friends. I was happy to have a more ( Read more... )

It's 2 am, I have a test tomorrow, and yet I just saw this in the news: Two bombs (one due to a suicide bomber) go off in the Russian subway system during morning rush hour. Thirty four people (and counting) are killed with over twenty others in the hospital.

I don't know where my Russian friends are situated, but I hope you guys are alright!! D8 * ( Read more... )

Wait. What. I saw references to this on the APH community, but I didn't know it was real.

Apparently UK wants out of the "special relationship".

D8 I... I think that's a load of BS. Sorry, BBC. I normally love you, I swear. They just don't like the terms "special relationship" because it may damage their relationship with other countries, but, ( Read more... )

My heart goes out to anyone affected by the major Haitian earthquake. I'm glad to see the immediate response from surrounding countries, but I'm really afraid that by the international help arrives (they say a mass of U.S. troops will get there tomorrow or later), it won't be enough ( Read more... )

For anyone that hasn't heard about it yet, Google found out that hackers (it's implied that they're probably government hackers, although no one knows for certain) have tricked human rights activists in China to open their gmail accounts to the public. The company is now threatening to end its censorship of its search engine in China and to leave ( Read more... )

I was at a ridiculously boring 12-hour long party yesterday (full of older Chinese people who sang karaoke or played a Chinese card game which I couldn't play 'cause I couldn't freakin' read Chinese) so I kind of missed when this happened.

Apparently, yesterday, a man from Nigeria tried to blow up a bomb on a Northwest (an American airlines) flight ( Read more... )
