✰ The other day I was looking through my old notebooks trying to find which ones I could throw away. And in one of those I discovered a rather interesting list. It is from a Korean film 'I'm a Cyborg but That's Ok'. Google if you want to know more, but it's basically about a girl who thinks she is a cyborg.
And at some point in the film she mentions the worst deadly sins for a cyborg:
sympathy
being sad
restlessness
hesitating about anything
useless daydreaming
feeling guilty
thankfulness
Not sure what to make of it (and why would a cyborg even have a concept of sin in the first place?) but somehow the list feels like there is a profound idea behind it, which I can't quite decipher.
✰ Today, while translating an absolutely mind-numbing legal text (which I didn't even really understand in English so how was I supposed to translate it into German anyway) I found out that the abbreviation FOB means not only free on board, but also faecal occult blood. That is actually some creepy medical thing, but would be a cool name for a metal band, don't you think?
✰ Continuing 'The more you know' theme, you know those buttons with F and numbers on your keyboard? Those keys can actually do stuff!
F2 renames selected object
F3 opens search window
F5 reloads current page
F7 is a spell check
And the key with the picture of a list and arrow pointing at it is the equivalent of rightclick.
Keyboard shortcuts are easier to use for me, but I guess these might have their uses too :) Oh, and talking about my computer savvy-ness, did you notice how every new topic in this entry was introduced with a star? Stylin'!
✰ Today I was talking to my grandmother. She was really depressed because she sprained her ankle and then managed to scald her leg with boiling water, and my grandfather refuses to eat and can't get up from bed all that well anymore... So I ended up telling her that I have a boyfriend now to cheer her up. I really regret that I did it because whenever I tell her anything, she just spoils it somehow. Besides, that dude is not really my boyfriend, we just hang out and make out...
But anyhow, my grandmother was super-happy and told me she was praying for me every day and whatnot. It kind of creeped me out XD I suppose she does mean well (and according to my mother, she actually doesn't - she is just pretending, so what do I know), but her well and my well are really different. And I don't want my family to know much about my life because they are always too critical and make me think bad things. But on the other hand, it is kind of exciting to have something like a private life and I want to tell people about it.
