I have really bad luck on or around national day - for the past few years, I've been stuck in the office on the weekend before national day - long enough to hate the sound of fireworks and revelry (that I'm not a part of). But not national day itself. This year, I'm a minion with a longer name, so apparently the world thinks that my national day ( Read more... )

I think it's possible to agree (or at least to reserve judgment on) a cause, while pointing out that the arguments presented in support of that cause are wrong. That the arguments are wrong does not of itself mean that the cause is wrong, unless there are no other arguments that can be adduced to support the cause ( Read more... )

I think I must have offended someone in my previous life, that explains why every time this last week (yes, including today) I think I've made progress in the huge pile of stuff to do, I discover more fires to fight ( Read more... )

I thought about posting about various things. Like, how I've changed and how, perhaps, I've a lot less patience now.

I've been sick for the past two weekends - mostly doped up with flu medicine so that I spent most of the time asleep. So, tomorrow I finally have (apart from that thing where I have to vote) a free day!

urge to watch Captain America again... rising...

Watching Ouran Koukou Host Club (live action!!) on my day off.

The twins are hilarious.

Finally got off work for the first time in quite a while (well, ok, perhaps not that long, but working with minimal breaks makes it seem really long!!) - and the odd thing is, I'm not sure what I want to do. Still very keyed up with nervous energy, tension headache from fatigue but I don't want to sleep yet. Will perhaps take a walk after dinner.

...despite the trappings (headless horselady, gang war, slasher mystery, slice of life in one of the busiest metropolises in the world) really just the story of one incident in the extended courtship of Party S, by Party I. Honestly, can't he just send flowers? You can't go wrong with flowers. Unfortunately, I think something as straightforward as ( Read more... )

Just started watching random episodes of Durarara! I suppose the producers of that series must have some connection to "Otome Road" Ikebukuro, but I wonder if they are also big fans of Kuroshitsuji as well? The references to it in episode 7 are really hilarious!
