apparently every BMW comes with a warning that warns you against driving below 85mph, since every BMW driver on the freeway that i see everyday drive over eighty-five. it seems that the engine and the transmission and everything else that makes a BMW a BMW is designed to break down without fail if they don't get driven at at least 85mph.
our toilet was clogged yesterday, so sam and i spent about half-an-hour plunging it. sam was plunging it, i was just standing there watching, but it sounds a lot better when the word "we" is used. apparently plunging with a new plunger, combined with pouring an entire bottle of clog remover did not mean success. earlier we tried plunging it with david's plunger, but turned out it was shitty. shitty in terms of workability, and shitty as in literally shitty.
and then this morning we discovered that toilet worked perfectly fine. so last night's effort didn't go to complete waste.
ru and i concluded that my skin is very sensitive since apparently even the most moisturizing lotion could not keep my hands from getting completely dry within 20-seconds, so i decided to buy some baby lotions today. hope that'll do well. my skin isn't as smooth and cute as a baby's skin, but i think it is safe to conclude that it's about that sensitive. so far it's been working great, since i don't need to get off my chair every 20 seconds to get more lotion.
grad school applications and personal statements are to be done this break. i need to remind myself to email dan hennessy and peter litchfield at UMN to write me letters of recommendation.
the microwave is the greatest thing ever invented. i think you will most certainly agree with me if you're a college student and ramen and frozen food are the only thing in your daily diet.
i have not had coffee for awhile now. the headaches do not recur, which is rather surprising since usually everytime i don't get my daily fix of coffee i get headaches.
went down to mitsuwa to look for one piece 2nd long but apparently they don't carry it since the lady kept pointing to the shelf with OP manga and kept telling me to go look over there in broken english. so i ended up getting the first four volumes of houshin engi since the cover art is just too beautiful to not be owned.
my mac is currently lagging. i wonder if it's because i have not shut it off for a few months now. usually it lags when i have bittorrent on, but this time it's not even close to being on.
i had a theory that claimed that if i had turned on bittorrent, it would have lagged even worse, so i tested it. not only it got even more laggy, but it also failed to get better when i turned bittorrent off again. i guess i'll restart after this.
i think it is within human nature to condescend other people. lately everytime i talk to people all i have been hearing have been shit about other people that was not around at that moment. not that badmouthing is a bad thing, since it is obviously comforting to know that you are better than other people. it just seems like shit-talk is some sort of a trend these days, just like how tight shirt with huge collars were in the 80's, since everyone seems to be doing it simultaneously as of recent. kinda makes me wonder if badmouthing oneself will one day become a trend too. if badmouthing other people makes a person feel better about himself, then badmouthing his own self should make him feel better about himself too, since he's probably the only one around who has enough guts to do so.
with that in mind, i've been trying to start this new trend of badmouthing oneself by telling people how much of an idiot, brownnoser, arrogant, selfish, careless, and all other available negative adjective jerk i am, but it hasn't seemed to be working particularly well. apparently, dirk gently was right: everytime you try to tell people about something positive about yourself, people will naturally become suspicious and try to prove you wrong, or at the very least talk shit about you behind your back. reverse psychology, however, works extremely well to your advantage in this case: everytime you try to convince people about something negative about yourself, they will naturally think otherwise and before you know it you'll have "mother teresa" written all over you. the bible is not bullshitting; it says something about when you humble yourself you will be praised, but if you praise yourself you will be humbled. you don't even need to believe in god (or the bible in this case) to agree that it is true. it is just human nature. praise yourself and people will talk shit about you, humble yourself and people will talk shit about everyone else BUT you.
told you this was going to be random writings.
king david's sweet red wine is really good. it's a dessert wine with 12.5% of alcohol, which is great because you don't get too drunk if you drink too much, but you get enough alcohol to give you the intoxication effect you've always craved before you turn twenty-one.
i've been told that if i go around holding up a sign "I <3 YAOI" i will have many girls follow me around screaming that they want to have my babies. interesting. i never knew that being gay is a prerequisite to get girls.
my style of writing without proper capitalization has proven to give me trouble. i almost submitted my essays on the GRE i took on monday written without any proper capitalization. but i hate caps and i love this style, so that's just too bad.
finfish added me on facebook. that girls is uber-good at cosplaying. she actually made fullbody and lucci look hot, even for my entirely female-oriented man-brain.
i have one drawing and one comic strip i need to finish. i guess i should get them done tonight so i can start on my graduate school stuff. i need to learn to not be lazy and be more creative when making background.
everytime i check my account balance, it decreased by $500. the funny thing is i usually check it after i deposit $300 worth of paycheck.
currently eating shrimp maruchan cup. whoever invented food must be super rich.
