but me, i just bear up to my bewildered best, and some folks even see the bear in me

I'm pretty sure...

that this is what i think of when i think of cats. THIS is the image i get of what a cat "should" look like. Especially color group III.

But gee, that might be slightly influenced by this young man who died too young:
(in fact, i think this biased is influenced by alaskan cats in general... Heidi's cat Leo also came to mind...)

hebbedur ah uh eeh

i am SO inarticulate.

i just starting capturing my interview files to the computer, its the first time i've really watched any of my footage... and all i can say is that i'm really sorry for all the people i interviewed who had to try and decipher what it was i wanted them to talk about.

Hopefully i'll get better... that opinion was based on just the first interview tape. i can only hope.

Proof that FanFiction can be good:

"He needed to concentrate on spying and not getting caught doing it, and besides, he was fairly certain (when he chose to admit it to himself during those strangely introspective hours between three am and four) that just under the surface crust of earthy sexual desire, hidden feelings about Potter were growing and spreading like ugly little potatoes. Love potatoes. They needed to be picked and mashed and not allowed to get any bigger or tastier just at the minute. He could plant more later, if he wanted to, but any further nurturing of this Potter thing and he’d have a flaming rampant potato epidemic to deal with. And that meant he should stay away and not risk fertilizing anything by accident."


that is by far one of my favorite metaphors ever.


(for those of you who didn't know, i like to read online fiction where harry potter and draco malfoy are in luuurve... its a strange habit, but one i am firmly committed to.)

I am an Asian Woman and Jensen Ackles



Although, when i am not smiling i am considerably less-asian, and more manly. Manly like a CW Television Star. Yeah, I could have dated lana lang on smallville. Sorry. I'm just surprised that Jensen Ackles was someone i actually knew (he was a big part of smallville season 4). And i like that he was my #1 look alike.

also, I look absolutely nothing like Jensen Ackles. Nothing.

I am an Asian Woman.




my childhood dreams have come true.

i have amazed myself

Lettuce (!!! Jesus Christ!!! Like, more than 4 bites of it, too!!!)
Meaty hashy-stuff that was spicy but good
Sour Cream
Cheese (multiple kinds)
Beans
Tortilla Shell.



That has got the be the most diverse meal i've eaten in months.
Not to mention it was all on one plate.
With lettuce.
(i didn't eat the tomatoes.)

I'm not saying i'll get these myself, but i quite enjoyed eating it this once, if just for the layers of food that kept popping out of nowhere. I think it helped that i hadn't eaten since the afternoon. I'm not so good at eating while i'm working.
and underneath the cheese is BEANS!!!
i totally did NOT know that! Seriously. This is the most surprising food i have ever eaten.
And there is CHEESE at the bottom!
i just thought it was getting all gunky and i was kind of dreading eating it,
but its CHEESE!

i never knew

you could use sour cream as salad dressing.

i like sour cream, but i never eat it because i usually only eat it on tortilla chips and not a lot of other people i know prefer plain sour cream to salsa or dip, and i dont eat enough chips to make buying them for myself worthwhile.

so, good to know. sour cream = salad dressing.

You will not believe me...

but im eating a Taco Salad.

The janitor at work brought it to me, for no reason other than im here really late.
Hes really nice. and so i am eating a taco salad. I actually think ill be fine with everything but the tomatoes.

why is it so friggin cold in my room?

This is actually a post i started about a week ago... i dont remember what else i was going to say... but you can read it anyway.


i'm wearing a sweatshirt and slippers and warm pajama pants and i'm freezing. and heidi's about to open the door to take out her bike and things are just going to go downhill from there...

i bought a dvd burner the other day... so i can make silly copies of my silly movies and send them to silly people. :) and also because i've been downloading movies (thank you zach) and want a hard copy of some of them.

and at work today, waiting for datasets to download, i started reading a book for my research paper on music in Stanley Kubrick films. i thought i should acquaint myself formally with film music theory a bit and so started reading The Art of Film Music and found myself quickly on page 70. This is not a normal occurance. I suppose thats what happens when you actually read something youre interested in... which hasnt happened for me for 6 years or so...
