If only I could play guitar...
This song's been in my head recently. Although, I have to admit, I've been listening to Ma-'s cover rather than the original song. Abe Mao's "Lonely," brought to you by...

The hardest part of academics is dealing with academia...
I'm going to say this ahead of time. I'm dumb. Not in the 'I can't understand what you're saying' sort of way, but definitely in the selfish 'why can't you say it more simply' sort of way. I want to desperately believe that there's no need for all of the ambiguous language used in many articles. Its exhausting work to have to wade through ( Read more... ) -

Nothing can shatter a person's self confidence like the blank page of an unwritten essay. I spent all weekend reading the article for my critical review and writing notes and glancing at other articles only to waste an entire day sitting in front of a blank page. The worst part is that I'm not afraid to having to evaluate the article... it's the ( Read more... ) -
Are you ready? 完璧なんてない
Have you ever had one of those cooking moments where everything just seemed to go wrong to the point where you were just about to throw in the towel; but then, in the end, it somehow turned out more than just fine? Yeah, it was one of those nights.

Sometimes, I wish I could say I was like the wind...
For some reason, I keep trying to sing a Christmas song and I keep coming up with a slower version of Winnie the Pooh. Of course, I never realize until the words somehow manage to creep into my head. Also, I stole the Colorgenics Test from hagane_no. And yes, it is frighteningly accurate.

Here's a fun thing I stole from hagane_no.

In which I learned the true value of 'Print Screen...'
I should be working on my nano, I really should. Yesterday is the second day so far this month I've gotten behind. (And really, I'm kicking myself recently for being so damn honest about things like that. I don't even think I could lie.) But I'm really stuck. My characters are doing nothing, and I'm writing nothing. It's all turned into a ( Read more... ) -
It's like the powdered alabaster dust fallen onto the prussian blue asphalt...
Being generally dissatisfied with most personality tests/sorters (and being in need of a break at work), I went looking for an entirely different one. I was actually intrigued by these results and the classifications, but that could just very well be the novelty of it all. Also, I'll never be truly sure if I feel that something fits because it's ( Read more... ) -
Just a thought, like a drop of water on an all-too still pond...
Belief and Doubt are water from the same well, born from the same spring. And when you draw the bucket up from the depth of darkness, you have everything you need and everything you want. It's not that they are the same emotion, and it's not that they are so much dichotomies of each other. I think that it's that one cannot exist without the ( Read more... ) -
Since today is a cloudy day perfect for napping...
One of the most prevalent metaphors in our culture is that TIME = EXPENDABLE RESOURCE. While that usually helps us organize and utilize our time wisely and efficiently, it can have some negative side effects as well (as with any conceptual construction). We can be curt with each other, result driven, impatient. And it makes us miss other aspects ( Read more... )
