WTF, CLAMP

Unacceptable. I am not treating this end chapter of xxxHolic as canon till you do better.

I wasn't even like "whoo! Douwata!" because of course I knew they weren't going to do that. I'm not really "whoo!" anybody for this series, I just wanted a GOOD solid piece of closure, but this wasn't even a good piece of storytelling. It was ( Read more... )

So there are two short stories I remember reading in high school, and I really can't remember their names. I thought one of them was by Joyce Carol Oates, but I can't find it. I am not crazy ( Read more... )

They're making a Man from U.N.C.L.E movie?! Apparently George Clooney is interested in playing Napoleon, which would be perfect. I think he'd do a really good job. He would have been on my list of potentials even if he hadn't been interested. (Haha, yes. "DO IT, GEORGE!" "But I don' wanna!" "DO IT, I SAY!")

I don't want them to mess up Illya. In ( Read more... )

So I'm walking back to my dorm around midnight after my club's activities are over. My dorm is close to the main road- I actually walk on the sidewalk by the main road to get there after it gets creepy dark and I'm alone because at least there are cars and a major intersection there, so I feel pretty safe.

There are these two guys walking behind me ( Read more... )

Quick fix, Go to File-> Refresh and ( Read more... )

Arg! It's so annoying that I'm leaving May 25th. The guy I'm flying with kept trying to find really early tickets. I appreciate that we're trying to beat Memorial Day weekend, but he seemed like he wanted to get the fuck out of dodge, because the tickets he found leave early May and come back early August, whereas I'd wanted to leave in June and ( Read more... )

I...think I'm going to Tokyo, dudes!

Attached email:

undergrad engineering students in research internships at SIT during the summer
(for approx. 8 weeks), and SIT students in UVA labs for a similar ( Read more... )

Quotes of the Evening:

Jonathan Coulton wearing a zendrum: "You guys are such DORKS. Only my fans would applaud me putting this on."

^0^ I have finally finished and submitted my code for my C++ class. After three all nighters, a steady diet of only crackers and coffee, skipping class, choir, and literary debate meeting, smelling a little ripe at the end of the week, wearing the same pile of clothes all week, and then 6 hours in the Stacks (engineering computer lab/workspace- I' ( Read more... )

There's a huge wind going through my college- it sounds like the rise and fall of a squall with all this rain and bluster ( Read more... )
