No, I am not engaging in anything illegal. But there is something intrusive and thus highly interesting in a guilty way (peering into people's personal confidences, even with sanction from the receivers, is uncomfortable) I've been indulged in lately: reading published letters, mainly from famous composers. I started this obsession back in March ( Read more... )

The European Championship is always an emotional event, but today I saw something incredible. Near the end of the Spain-Ireland match, when their team was under a 4-0 loss (which results in Ireland being the first team to be eliminated from the tournament), all Irish fans in the Gdansk stadium stood up and sang to show their team that they still ( Read more... )

So I'm done with the experiments of my internship. It was fun being all authoritative and pretentious but it was a relief to be done with it. Now comes the data analysis.

It just never ends. *sighs*

Am reading a very engaging biography of Frédéric Chopin.

Therefore, it's the duty of a loyal mecha ( Read more... )

I have a bad habit of taking a lot of photos, especially when I travel, and then forget them. Thus when the memory card ran out of spaces, I had to take them to my hard drive and realized some of them look pretty good, so I want to show them off (yes, I'm vain). Coupling that with my curiosity with Tumblr lately, I decide to make an online house ( Read more... )

I have a horrible backlog of things I want to/should do, and I procrastinate even in the matter of entertainment :') From time to time I'm reminded that it is a very bad thing as it makes me miss good things, and today is such a day.

DENNOU COIL IS FANTASTIC.

The caps is necessary because it's been a while since I've been on an immersing anime ( Read more... )

My experiment plus the literature study, the experiment I'm programming for. Hopefully things will go well. I like programming but it doesn't like me. I should also brace myself for the online course on AI in the week after the next. It'll be a very interesting experience studying along side 15000 people all over the world.
