1.  me: Where's my wallet?
Ivan: You told me to put it in your backpack just now, so I did.
me: I did?

2.  "Squee, pretty Tsubasa pictures! What, Tsubasa has ended? Nooooooooo—

"Wait a minute, I'm not in the fandom, am I."

3.  "What the **** is a const function!?! ... Damn it, I just looked this up last week."

4.  Instead of figuring out which of the surplus of Javascript libraries to use, I coded my own "multi-select tags to display items" function. It's working fine, but the way it handles CSS is not quite flexible enough, so I will be working on that.

Wow, some of these are ... bad:

In graphics class today:
Prof: This isn't important, unless you're into gravitation.
Me: But I like gravitation!
silent_paladin: *starts laughing*
Me: I completely didn't mean that Gravitation, but that works too.

Later, during a cogsci class break:
Me: ... so I can't go to Japan now.
Ryan: Don't tell me you want to go see the Bleach musical.
Me: I WOULD BUT I CAN'T! IT ENDS ON FEBRUARY 8TH!
*crickets chirp*
Ryan: You know, I meant that as a joke, but you actually—! When I saw the announcement for a Bleach musical, I couldn't stop laughing and I immediately sent the link to all my friends.
Me: It's not that bad ... besides, you haven't seen the Sailor Moon musicals, have you.

Also I made an icon for the first time since July. I still have slightly less than half the pages to go—and I started in spring 2007.

Reading Break: Feb. 13 (Sat) – 28 (Sun)

Tenimyu (Tokyo #2):
• Feb 26-27: Onoda Ryunosuke, Ookawa Genki, Nakagauchi Masataka, Shimizu Ryoutarou, Shitenhouji B (Sasaki Yoshihide, Takaharada Takuya)

I haven't seen anyone other than Genki and Masa in action, but no Baba? No Juri? *sadface* (Though really, Ookawa Genki sells anything to me. I would have even spent money on Bukimyu.

...that's a lie.)

Nota bene, the amount of effort it takes acquiring a Tenimyu ticket is probably not worth it.

Burimyu:
ENDS MON FEB 8TH WHY WHY WHYYYYYYYYY.

After I got over my initial apprehension over a new laptop thanks to My Homework Needs You, I decided to name it after Ciel Phantomhive because it is disgustingly black and silver, and being sleek black and silver means that it's completely not moe. Ciel fulfills three requirements: he fits the colour scheme (black), he fits the mood (dark), and most importantly, he moes it up. (Lol gothic lolita laptops, I can just see them now.) ( Biannual wallpaper rambling )

So one of the guys started talking beer chugging competitions, and how he was extremely good at it. He said that the trick was to just open your throat, resist the urge to swallow, and pour the beer down your throat.

I'm sure you can guess where my mind went.

So some British 14-year-old girl posted a bunch of videos of her dancing to anime songs on the internet, and is now debuting in Japan. Yeah.

DAMN, WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THIS?!

Adding to the List of Weird Things Ivy Is Traumatized By: buying a new computer.

I brought a new laptop after 5 years of my current one. I can't bring myself to open the box. about 2 hours ago from web

Ok, so I've opened the box. Am really ambivalent. Kind of want to return it for a white MacBook :/ It's just not ... cute. 23 minutes ago from web

I guess what I should really be saying is I don't like the current OS; Tiger was the last one I liked. I currently use *Panther*, dear god. 22 minutes ago from web

(Can you kind of tell I really didn't want to upgrade?) 14 minutes ago from web

Want. To. Cry. 10 minutes ago from web

I don't know what I'm doing any more. 8 minutes ago from web

Maybe I'll feel better once I have all my wallpapers and Stickies transferred over. Except I'm not sure Migration Assistant works with 10.3 1 minute ago from web

Anyway, I really don't fucking want to use my new computer, but I have to, considering my current one lags miserably trying to play YouTube videos (thank you ever so much for introducing higher res standard video size, YouTube). It's been five years, lots of people have been telling me to get a new laptop, but I'm just not ready for it, you know?

I guess I should have just bought a Linux box and got it over with.

Behold my boredom. Yup, I pay lots of attention in class!

My #1 consideration for my Halloween uniform is warm. I am such a wuss.

If you're into papercraft or are in need of pretty decorations, go to NaniBird. (Do not pass go, do collect cardstock.) They've got amazing designs, all based off the "bird with a text bubble" concept.

Because Chinese dramas are beh tahan. It needs some work. ( Read more... )

Alan's first tangent was on agency funding, the tangent of that was using funding for fun and profit, which lead to NSERC USRAs...

I was taking this course with this professor I couldn't understand. I would write a word down, then later look up at the board and it would be completely different. (He had a speech impediment.) One time I went into the bathroom - this is a true story by the way - and he follows me in. I couldn't understand him very well, so I thought I had just been asked if I wanted money by someone who'd followed me into a bathroom. After a while I realized he was asking me if I wanted one of these.
