Do you know what is sweet about Mac OS?
I just figured this out today. You can write in almost any language! It has the capacity for input and reading already installed.
So I can write in... ひらがな、 日本語
or I can write in... 한골르 (Which I think is right but I'm not sure because I'm learning from this cd I got in the library.)
This thing even lets you write in AINU. Say whaaaat? -
My favorite quote of the day.
The beginning of the Mahabharata, or one of the most important epic/holy books of India states this ( Read more... ) -
Moving today!
Getting out of the apartment for real today. Most of my stuff is at home, but now I have to get the furniture and the remaining things, like my food and the like. Then we have to clean the fridge and do some other things. Ewww. (Mostly Ewww because the Freezer doesn't really work so it's going to be hideous to clean ( Read more... ) -
The Korea lady called me today.
It's kind of like the tooth fairy--only when you get a diploma, she drops travel opportunities and cool jobs in your lap! She said that a lot of new positions had opened up in schools that they were fond of, so she wanted to check and see how my documents are coming along. Still waiting to hear back from the Diploma Lady (not quite like the tooth ( Read more... ) -
I'm actually kind of excited to be going home.
And! I got my ears pierced!! First time EVER! I'm excited. They look nice. Actually they make my ears look a little bigger than they did before, but I'm excited to wear dangley earrings and cool earrings. It's weird, too, because I never used to think that was pretty. It looked sophisticated, but just... not me. Like too grown up. I guess I'm ( Read more... ) -
I want to answer the phone
And say things like "How far?" and "Whettin dey happen?". And have people not correct themselves when they accidentally say "chop" on the phone. Because I *do* get it ( Read more... ) -
I'm bad about posting.
And I'm not sure what I have to say. I've had a weird fevery thing going on for the past couple of days. My head feels full of gunk and I get dizzy all the time. I prefer to be sitting. I've been writing a little, reading, and packing up my stuff to move to the new apartment. Most of it's going in boxes to move home, though. And desk drawers. ( Read more... ) -
I had a good day yesterday.
Felt more awake and aware than usual. Felt like I had some perspective. I'm trying to think of reasons why, but the first one at the top of my list is, of course, the thing that I'm most suspicious of ( Read more... ) -
Okay--so I have a new idea for a novel.
And this one, I think, could be a real doozie. Fun. Just plain fun. The goal is to write a book about the travels of some historian, in a fantasy world. It would be similar to some of the ancient Muslim travelers, such as Ibn Batta, who traveled all over the world in search of knowledge. Only it would be in a world of my own making--ancient magics ( Read more... ) -
I'm camping out in front of the Travel Channel.
The nice thing about being in my dad's house is--TV! I've been alternating between the Travel Channel and HGTV which concurrently makes me want to run away all over the world, and then when I change the channel, settle down and decorate an apartment. It's not good for my indecision ( Read more... )
