"If the day and the night are such that you greet them with joy, and life emits a fragrance like flowers and sweet-scented herbs, is more elastic, more starry, more immortal- that is your success. All nature is your congratulation, and you have cause momentarily to bless yourself. The greatest gains and values are farthest from being appreciated. We easily come to doubt if they exist. We soon forget them. They are the highest reality. Perhaps the facts most astounding and most real are never communicated by man to man. The true harvest of my daily life is somewhat as intangible and indescribable as the tints of morning or evening. It is a little star-dust caught, a segment of the rainbow which I have clutched." - Henry David Thoreau

I think my favorites are She is My Parfait and There Can Be Only One Judo Shinigami. What is it about?? A Death God who fights in some judo tournament? That is a shoujo title? Lulz. 01:00
So apparently, it's been unseasonably cool this late in the spring game because of El Ni�o. Time for the news to say: ZOMG IT IS SO COLD I AM FREEZING IN THIS 70�F WEATHER PLZ COME BACK HOT SUMMER DAYS WHERE CENTIPEDES AND MOSQUITOES ROAM THE SWEATY, B.O.-FILLED AIR!
I say: MORE! I don't particularly enjoy summer or the sun (see entry where I noted to kill the sun), so this is great. Sure, it's been a bit dreary and rainy, but I can live with that. It just gets too humid for me here in the summer. Once when I was ten, I sweated an evil face into the back of my T-shirt. Summer is not my friend!
Well, at least it's better than Orlando, even though it's classified in the same climate as NYC, humid subtropical (wtf, get away from me, tropical). That was a crazy, sweaty week.
I signed up for Poup�e Girl for some reason. (I've the widget on the sidebar.) Woot?
I'm not a really big fashion hound, though, I mean, I like looking at fashion and stuff like that, but not wearing it. I don't think I've the body for it, plus it takes time to plan what to wear, precious time I could be using for stuffing my bra! J/K, I don't stuff anything, except turkeys. For casual wear, I mostly just wear sneakers, jeans, and a shirt -- sometimes with an another, longer-sleeved shirt! And a jacket! Oh boy, things are getting exciting up in here.
Oh, BTW, I don't think I explicitly mentioned that Poup�e Girl is a fashion social networking sort of site.
Did anybody catch the Lost season finale? My mind was so violently violated I was struck dumb for days. And now that we have like 8 or 9 months till the final season (I could make a baby in that time!), I've been going fishing for theories like mad. Usually I just click a few, but I clicked more this past week than I've ever had this year. And the Lost ARG seems to be gearing up (on Twitter), so I'm following that, too. I have been in and out following the fandom since the beginning, but I think since it's the end now, I'm just going all out. BLARHG IDKUF&^ *P CNASD( * DSAJ KSLH!!!11111111one 16:43
When I wear white shoes I am painfully aware of how white they are and HOW MANY PEOPLE SEEM TO STEP ON THEM! ARRRRRRGH!!!! (The NuTROL baboon image is very apropos. He knows how I feel.)
I haven't been on much, I mean I still click around and read people's nublogs, but I don't really participate as much as I used to... not that I participated a great deal in the first place, but definitely more than now. And it's not a total mystery as to why, either: I have too many blogs! I'm just stretching myself too thin.
Perhaps I'll cross-post more. I've only done that a couple of times, but I'll increase the amount. Yay?
As of late I keep noticing dudes lovingly stroking the poles on the subway as if it were their own phallus. It makes me throw up in my mouth a little, not because of what it seems to imply but because it takes me back to a story a high school teacher once told my class:
A homeless man boarded the subway with a rank and odor so pungent he befouled the entire car immediately. He readied his money-collecting device. His conduct was unlike that of the other panhandlers; instead of God blessing everyone and placidly soliciting his request, he made a threatening announcement that if he didn't get any money, he would reach down his pants and touch all the poles.
Although there's no need to start having phobias about the whole thing, it doesn't hurt to have a little prudence. People who are sick get on on the subway all the time. Some people who have no etiquette cough and sneeze with abandon like they are marking their territory. Children with their sticky little fingers touch everything. I'm pretty sure I've caught some colds riding mass transit.
If it's a short ride I hold onto the pole with my wrist or use my knuckles. If it's a longer ride I only use my left hand, never my right. Just because you can't see them doesn't mean they aren't there. Like eyelash mites. 12:50
Moooooooooooo. I know that's a cow and it's the year of the ox, but whatever.
I made the "fook" (or "fu") by cutting out the character from one of those free calendars they give out at the end of 2008 if you buy above a certain amount in the store, pasted it on a piece of heavy red paper, and voila! A unique, non-garish item that cost nearly nothing. Example of garish CNY items I don't like: signs that are 3-D, glittery, with weird, fat chibi-like human or anthropomorphic animals all at the same time. Like, cutesy, but not to me. It's kind of hard to know what I'm talking about if you never saw one, but oh, I really don't like them. I wish that I had remembered my camera so I could take a picture of some examples. 14:02
