12:14 am - L4D...
|
...and L4D2 has completely consumed my free time (well, most of it). Even my brother mentioned "seems like it's now routine-- when i get home, you're playing."
And if I'm sick of dying, I go and read articles on being a better fps player and just watching YTs of gameplay...
indeed, the road to improvement is hard

10:21 pm - irritability
|
you really don't realize how important something is until you lose it.
...
like regular bowel movements and the ability to sleep!
also, ignore the last entry (which is now private). i have no right to complain.

My brother recently bought some Japanese gum from a Famima!! that was closing, and he offered me some.
So we were both chewing some of the Peach, and all of a sudden I felt this incredible urge to cry.
I haven't had this gum since I was a kid. And somehow, it made me realize that growing up hasn't made me any happier. That I miss the time in my childhood life where everything was about enjoying the little things.
I told my brother this, to which he said, "Go write a song about it then." lawl
oh yeah. Happy 2010.

10:55 pm - Capitalism-at-Work Day
|
I just bought this bass. Isn't she effing beautiful? Seriously, what a steal at $129.99 after rebate.
Always wanted a bass, but didn't think about it until my bro emailed me about stands being on sale at musiciansfriend. Jumped on it right away after seeing it. <3<3 I'm in total love right now. Probably should have waited a little before purchasing, but I don't think I'd regret buying this one.
Also bought this grab bag from burt's bees.....
And got a FREE PANTY voucher in the mail from Victoria Secret for the first time (FINALLY, bitches)!
Oh yeah, and one tangent. My brother was talking about some singer hitting really high notes, and so I had to YT a Coloratura for him. it's pretty amazing and really lol.

11:15 pm - worst 5 minutes in a long time
|
first few seconds were uncomfortable. I heard a loud splat, and thought it was a drop water that got in my right eye. I rubbed a bit, and I thought I had it under control.
and then it dawned on me that it was a bug. wriggling in. my. eye.
Previously, it was Defcon 50. Now it's Defcon 1. Shit shit shit shit shit holy shit
I'm panicking-- I don't have a mirror, lost my eyedrops, and don't even have water. My bus-pool friend confirms that it's a fairly large black spot in the bottom of my eye.
I'm frantically trying to calculate the best course of action. Walk back to the office, use the restroom and be late for my bus? Keep on going and hope I rub it out?
Being the shrewd woman that I am, I refused to get home half an hour later. So I keep on trucking, rubbing every part of my eye until it's excruciatingly dry.
and then, tada! After 5 minutes, it's finally out!
So yes! I will now be carrying a mirror, water, and find my eyedrops.

ever since I got this award at work ($175 for helping this department on a project!) I've been buying all. this. shit.
I figured, 'Oh, I should treat myself to something...'
which is then a slippery slope from there. I haven't been keeping up with e-mails or LJ because I've been shopping.
"I've always wanted this since ____"
"This would be a great time to buy gifts"
"Why, Christmas is just around the corner"
I don't know how to make it stop, i just keep on making excuses. DDDDD:

7:59 pm - DDDDDD:

there's this old retired guy living in El Segundo, and he has this really really cute cute dog named Buddy
( pictures of Buddy! and his pervy owner )
We see him all the time walking his dog, or watering his lawn, but it wasn't until today did he actually strike a long conversation with us. and it went something like this.
Him: "So do you girls live somewhere around here?"
8: "Ah yeah, just around here."
me: "Actually, we work just down over there."
Him: "Oh, so have you seen this other Chinese immigrant girl walking around?"
us: "No, not really."
Him: "Actually, it was one of the neighbors who actually brought her over here from China; it's terrible, he treats her like a *slave*."
I shoot a quick, "Is he serious?" glance at 8.
Him cont: *looks at 8* "Do you know anything about Visas? Can she stay for more than 3 months?"
8: "Sorry, you'll have to ask someone else about Visas. I'm not very sure."
Him: "I'm divorced, and it's just Buddy and me, and the dog is just boring. If she were staying with me, I wouldn't let her be a slave; I like cleaning and doing housework."
We're in total silence, it's awkward.
Him: *turns to me* "You're Chinese, aren't you?"
Me: "Uhm, yes, I am."
Him: "Well, when you turn 18 or 20, you come let me know."
Us: "...uh, nice talking to you! See you!"
DDDDDDDD:

10:14 pm - my mid-year resolutions
|
1) Stop being passive-aggressive, it wastes time and energy
2) Look on the bright side of things, or you'll just waste time focusing on the things that don't matter. Don't dwell on the negative unless it'll produce value-added results.
3) Have more confidence! You're responsible for your own actions. Act like you're taking charge of yourself. If you don't have that, who's going to respect you?
4) Nobody has the right to make you feel like shit (unless you're an irrational, amoral sack full of it)
5) Practice more guitar
6) Manage your time better, and get at least 8 hours of sleep a weeknight. Few things are more important than your health.
7) Commit to the assignment. Even if you hate it, focus until the very end. It shows in your work ethic-- if it's not worth your attention, it's not worth doing at all. Start strong, and drive it fucking home.
8) Do your best and learn.
oh yeah, and I guess
9) have fun
and
10) be happy
[edit: bonus 11) haul my ass online more...though I guess it's more of a 9b) than an 11)]

dammit, I feel like a dumbass getting sick in the summer. Not sure what it is, but it feels like my lungs are slightly filled with fluid, and my throat is scratchy.
well, whatever it is, I think I caught it at con. the 3 day incubation period sounds just about right.
also will do a long tl;dr update soon. maybe even pictures to make it easier to trudge through.

9:25 pm - pain is a pain (haaaa, that's pretty lame, and holy cow that all rhymes)
|
Had my first experience with ice pick headaches today! DDDDD:
It certainly does feel like an ice pick is jamming in your head suddenly. I got pretty scared this morning, but after consulting with Dr. Google (bless his soul), it's actually (sadly) pretty common. ... *sigh*.
and unfortunately, though it tapered down to almost none in the afternoon, it started flaring up again just now. AAAAGH I feel like using a spoon and just SCOOPING my whole left temple out
Also, on the subject of sudden pain....I was riding on the train yesterday about to fall asleep and hOLY shiT all of a sudden I had this TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRRRRRIBLE pain in the left side of my butt, down to mid thigh. DDDDD:
It continued for the whole 45 minute commute, just going off at random moments. ;____; I think it was a pinched sciatica nerve, and like the ice pick headaches, I don't know how to undo it ;_________;
SUCKS! Why does it seem like growing older just means "discovering" new pain and learning how to deal with it?

8:33 pm - new MTG rules sucks ass
|
MTG rules, kickin' in next month.
I find the (2) swap of terminology a little annoying (how is it that "remove from game" is confusing? seriously?)
I really liked (3B) Mana Burn :( It's just one of the joys of Magic when you force your opponent to have to take extra damage for unused resources.
(5) Combat Damage No Longer Uses the Stack is pretty shitty. Extremely, actually. No more casting spells inbetween damage.
Also what sucks, is that assigning damage to multiple targets (n) can only occur when (n-1) targets are killed. limits wonderful damage post-battle :(
I'm also pretty surprised about (3a) and (4). I've always played it like the new rules, so I guess that's 1.5 less things to care about.

10:39 pm - harper's island
|
aaaah man, if you're really into murder mysteries like I am, you'd love Harper's Island.
(summary from wiki)
Abby Mills returns to Harper's Island for her best friend's wedding. Seven years previously, a man named John Wakefield murdered six people on the island, Abby's mother being one of them. Wakefield was said to have been shot dead in the wake of the killings by Sheriff Mills, Abby's father. However, Abby's return to the island coincides with the start of a new series of killings, an event that throws widely held assumptions into doubt and threatens to reveal hidden truths.
[edit: also as a supplementary, there's Harper's Globe; a webisode of other events happening on Harper's Island at the same time, with a few extra people]
( I like reading other people's theories, and I thought this was just hilarious. spoilers! Spoilers! )
