I cannot properly convey (nor invent an interpretive dance to adequately depict) how wrong this slogan sounds to me right now.

... and this just happened to be the first slogan that came up for the first person I could think of:



Please, do sloganize your name and leave it in the comments.

Another day in the life of an Asian.

F1ipLx: so what ya up to?
Okonomi10: getting my regenerated soul stolen by another webcomic
F1ipLx: ....
F1ipLx: regenerated soul?
Okonomi10: yes
Okonomi10: my soul has been stolen by many things
Okonomi10: and it's not logical to think that a soul-stealing thing would just give my soul back to be stolen by another one
Okonomi10: so i came to the conclusion that i regenerate my soul
F1ipLx: you been drinking today?

Tally Hall! Tally Hall! Tally *inhale* Hall!


... mildly amusing inn in Weimar

My conquest: Roast beef, mashed potatoes, peas, corn, baguette, sauteed carrots, grapes, oranges, strawberries, pecan pie, pumkin pie, and sparkling apple cider (or, as we children lovingly refer to it, "kids' champagne")

Now, allow me to sit for 3 days to metabolise all this.

Choir is annihilating my weekend. All three UTSA choirs and the orchestra (reduced) performed Handel's Messiah last night at the Recital Hall. We didn't do all of Messiah, just about half of it altogether, but it took a solid 1.5-2 hours to finish, and choir had to stay standing the entire time. The orchestra sounded wonderful, the octet (especially the tenor and bass soloists) was simply breath-taking, and the conductor did wonderfully in arrangement.

Then, during the second to last number, my field of vision started to shrink from the edges into white, the music was drifting further away... It's never happened quite like this before, but my mother taught me well in that I knew what was going on. I dropped into a crouch, which was followed immediately by another girl fainting completely. I don't get it. I never lock my knees, I ate dinner, I didn't give blood, and I was breathing regularly, damnit! At least I recovered enough to stand up and sing the Hallelujah chorus.

We have another performance today at 4pm. *sigh*

If you want to buy me a relatively cheap Christmas/birthday gift: Former Congressman Chuckles 2006 (aka "12 Months of Chuck")

This week, we will buy a vacuum cleaner and a blender with a food-processor attachment. That's right, mother, we've been living here nearly 3 months and we still don't own those things.

Steph-O and I went on an "epic quest" (... or shopping) at the North Star Mall today. We both managed to be prudent shoppers, but we will have to go out to Target and Ross soon to make up for that. We also have an interesting souvenier from our journey.

If you ask nicely, we might show it to you.

Houston was lovely. That is all.

To Houston!

A buddy game taken from Matt's blog. Rules: Leave me a comment and I will write things about you. Simple enough, eh?

1. Something random about you
2. The song/movie that reminds me of you
3. Flavor of jello to wrestle with you in
4. Something that only makes sense to you and me
5. My first memory of you
6. An animal you remind me of
7. Something I've always wondered about you

Matty
1. Revolutionary
2. "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen
3. Half lime, half lemon
4. I never really did get used to the thought of chicken nuggets and chocolate milkshake.
5. That's the thing about you, I can't pin you to one time. You're just in a constant state of being to me. I do, however, remember the glimmer in you eyes when I saw you first ... brimming with curiosity (and a little bit or mischief).
6. Gremlin ... just kiddin'. Fox, methinks.
7. What would you look like wrapped mummy-style in toilet paper ... ?

Phillip
1. Weirdo Ford-fanatic
2. "Eine Kleine Nacht Musik" by Mozart
3. BBQ (ewww)
4. Pick-up at 4am is just too fucking early.
5. I think it went something like, "Could you slouch down a tad? I can't see the overhead."
6. Ass. Hehehee.
7. I often wonder how you'd look with curly hair.

A 2.5 inch cockroach that snuck up on me in the kitchen. It took me about 20 minutes to finally kill the thing as I alternately ran away from and chased after it, screaming.

(Hi, mom.)

I can only express utter shock and disbelief at reading this and this. It's like a silent timebomb went off, and Japan decided it didn't want to exist any more. Newly weds that don't want to sleep in the same room? WTF?!

I think the Japanese government should start pumping sex enhancers into the water.

According to Mark, "What's good?" is the inland equivalent of "What's up?"

You learn something new everyday, hm?

"Are you feeling better, Julia? You look like you're feeling better. You looked horrible on Wednesday."

"Thanks."

This is why I love my choir director.

Pii-chan's bath pictures now available.

I've cleaned the place, taken a shower, read a book, ate food ... I have nothing else to do. (I hate being sick.) Without further ado, a quiz binge, brought to you by BlogThings.
