stuffs and around

i have been incredibly lazy lately. and staying up late needlessly.

random links:

bookman's book dominos ad

a map of europe... in legos!

unpopular science - introducing physics to the real world

and to celebrate halloween - house lights to 'thriller'

onwards to less laziness!... we hope

--one late addition - an exploration of burnout and how to deal

newish links

conglomerated some favorites over the past week.

no no mario - a web comic

not the biggest eva fan, but these chopsticks are pretty sweet

tiger curry - awww

one page per day - an interesting concept

dino necklace - pretty neat

improvised darth vader theme in beethoven style

doo di doo di doo

1. my computers are all dying! what is going on??? =(

2. holiday travel is officially set: new york 11/20-11/27, and san francisco 12/23-12/29

3. need to stretch more and strengthen muscles. yoga today was more painful than usual

4. someday while working this contract, i will pocket some savings. someday... not this month though, not after two plane tickets, tuition, multiple insurance payments, and living costs...

5. i got 2nd place at poker night! and i thoroughly suck at head-to-head play

6. currently into beats antique and kalafina music

7. somewhere my head got wired to automatically refute anything nice said about me. hooray low self-esteem!... sigh

8. rewatching code geass as a group... aaah the anime that combines mech fights, god-complexes, high school drama, and clamp styles, all into one. good stuff

9. i feel the sleepiness at 2am, but i don't push myself to go to bed. hah, self discipline, hah

10. must... pick out... halloween... costume... somewhere...

costumes

halloween quickly approaches, and i should pick a costume. either something simple or some cosplay, which is something i do want to do at some point in my life.

cosplays would be cooler but harder... potential candidates:

- rhyme (twewy) - for the giant warm orange sweater

- neku (twewy) - i like the headphones

- xion (kh 358/2) - cuz cloaks are cool, and it would generally be reusable

- roxas (kh 2) - just cuz i like the outfit

any inputs? now i just want to replay these games...

10 10 10 10 thoughts

today is 10/10/10. what better day to write down 10 thoughts?

1. it's amazing to me still how a single hug can melt away all my worries

2. spicy cheese bread from stella's is quite addicting and filling

3. i am such a sucker for dogs and puppies

4. the shower keeps losing hot water the instant i glob hair condition into my hand. it must know that it is the hardest type of soap to wash out and rebels against me =P

5. finished reading game of thrones, finally. it only took all of 3 months

6. summer(ish) weather has returned! which means winter will probably pound even harder =\

7. i'm spending more than i'm earning and that makes me sad. especially since there are a lot of big purchases coming up for holiday season. augh, must readjust my spending habits...

8. driving down neighborhoods with colored trees and falling leaves is one of the coolest things about autumn. scenic drives to work everyday!

9. i am looking forward to playing kirby's epic yarn, epic mickey, and okamiden. apparently 'epic' is the new tagline for nifty games... huh, how ironic

10. the body clock has now cursed me with waking up at 6:45am on the weekends. boooooo

the cool and the cute

cool: anti-theft lunch bags, to deter those lunch stealers

cute: piggie buns, likely filled with deliciousness

cool: pi necklace to help you memorize the digits

cute: pacman moleskines - i want one of these!

cool: futurama cake that is totally awesome

cute: yoshi's island, could be an epic movie

oh, and because it's random - this comic is sadly true

10 is the magic number

1. colder weather means i am susceptible to sickness. i've met my quota for the year now, thanks.

2. i am again bored with the toys, games, and other stimulus around me. which means, i need another hobby, distraction, or something to fill my time

3. working in a new environment opens your eyes to the various work styles and skill levels out there

4. trivial things are annoying me again. this is my reminder to keep a check on my emotions

5. eating smaller portions means you tend to pay more for food or in a group. argh cheap bulk prices

6. mint filled oreo cookies are deeeeelicious. why am i such a sucker for minty flavors?

7. watching others attempt to organize people together seems as tiresome as i remember it being

8. i thought i would be ok with a monotonous job, but... apparently not.

9. new tires are annoyingly expensive. general car maintenance is expensive. cars are expensive. poopies.

10. gir in cake form - it's so cute!

couple of links

these maps are kinda cool and rather revealing

europe stereotypes - haha to the swimming pool

neato dark mario webcomic

random quote: "If you think you’re too small to make a difference, try going to sleep with a mosquito in the room."

more linkies

if i had just waited a day i would have consolidated the link posts.

polymer porn (view the picture) - aaah chemistry... how sometimes i do miss you. especially the puns thread

relationships cost you friends. now there's a study to prove it

laundry day - not quite what it seems.

video games lead to faster decisions - yet we still can never decide on food

stolen links and latest hits

i have been a rather boring person as of late, so here are a couple stolen links

each culture has its own expression of emotion - from the two cultures they studied, i am definitely more voice driven than face

having a sick system is how they keep people from leaving jobs. it's sad that i feel like i could check off everything for my previous employer...

and my body can't quite decide whether to be sick or not. i figured i had no chance when both roommates came down with a nasty cold, but my throat keeps giving me confusing signals. bah.
