Two Chulupas and a Grande Soft Taco
I actually woke up early and went back to work on my powerpoint. I continued doing this until a little past three. I realized after I had finished doing it that my presentation is going to go to hell. I'm sure of it. I began freaking out (in my quiet way that no one would ever guess I'm freaking out in the inside) as I walked to Family Dollar. I wish they would have cash back there. I was pleased to find lotion was cheap, since I have almost no money. So I hope the lotion I bought doesn't dry out my skin like crazy. I decided that instead of hair oil, I would buy lotion. It makes me think of something I saw on TV where a lady had to decide between detergent and something else... Maybe food... Anyway, she chose the other thing. The thing was that I hadn't been in Family Dollar for a while. They have more stuff now. And they put in a black hair section! I mean, for real. I think last time I was there, I was a little pissed they didn't have any black hair products. And I was thinking, "damn racist-assed town..." So now I'll have to retract that a little.
Anyway, I saw like some two-dollar hair oil of a brand I didn't recognize, so I didn't buy it despite I spent less on lotion than I anticipated. Instead, I bought a can of chips and a cherry coke. The chips to keep me from eating ramen again, and the coke to keep me from spending more money on my ID card (which I need for laundry). Oh. And in that new hair section (which is set off apart from the hair care aisle and is near the chips and cash register), they were selling some shampoo and conditioner I would have bought had I the money. But that's good to know they sell it cuz Rite-Aid sure as hell doesn't. When's that damn Walgreen's gonna open?? I need it now...
Went to Taco Bell next and got me two nacho cheese chicken chulupas (dunno how to spell) and a grande soft taco. It cost more than I anticipated, but luckily I was smart enough to bring along a little extra change. Thank the Lord. Wouldn't want to have to cancel my order cuz I was twenty cents short. I ate most of the food while watching the 23rd episode of Tactics. It's picking up, but not so much that I can't wait to watch the next episode. I was really hoping Raiko? God, I watched it today and I still can't remember that guy's name. Anyway, the bad guy who's trying to get Haruka to turn back to the old "oni-kui (Ogre-Eater)." He pulled out his sword like he was gonna cut Kentarou or something, but he didn't. I don't know if I ever thought of it before, but then I was like. Hmm...I wonder if there's any doujinshi about those two? Dunno. Luckily I didn't waste the time to find out. If I go on Yahoo Auctions, I'll just get depressed cuz I have no money and I probably won't get to spend any for a long time... Cuz with me planning go to Japan, I can't afford the money on frivilous stuff. Zan'nen desu (It's a shame)...
After I ate, I laid down for a nap. Yuri was watching Saved as I slept for a little bit. I don't think she liked it too much. I think it's funny. But I did hear her chuckle at the part where Hilary Faye and the crazy-Christian crew kidnap Mary and try to exorcise her. Around the part where Mary leaves and Hilary Faye throws the Bible at her. Yeah, that's a great part. Oh! The best thing about today was that the coke I bought won me a free 1-liter coke. Now all I gotta do is figure out where I can redeem it. Sucks... I could use more free stuff. As broke as my ass is. Um, earlier today I watched a movie with Leonardo Dicaprio (uh...who cares how you spell his name) and Robert Deniro. Deniro was scary and mean! But I guess that's what you should expect. I thought he was gonna kill Leo's character. Oh! And there was this great part where this fruity boy that lived in his town, Concrete, fought with Leo. Leo called him a homo, so the boy attacked him, along with his little beagle. It was great. But then they became friends. At one point I thought the boy was gonna kiss him and Leo's character was going to turn gay or something, but unfortunately it didn't turn out that way. Leo was like a punk throughout the whole thing. It was set like in the 50s and 60s, and it looked funny cuz Leo didn't look older even though he was supposed to have grown some. I think the movie was called a "Boy's Life" or something like that.
Anyway, I'm doing some Econ homework, which I hope to finish before going to bed. Tomorrow--more worrying about my stupid closing case presentation and studying for Theatre test. It should be an easier test, unlike my horrible task of my presentation. It'll suck, but even though I feel that my partner wasn't as available as he could have been, I approached everything wrong. I should have asked him to email me answers he wanted and then inputed them into the powerpoint. Too late now. God, I'm dumb. I actually work pretty badly with others sometimes. And for once, I don't think it's going to work out in my favor despite this (like it usually does)... Guitar-ness....
Quote that movie: I tell you I'm thirsty, and you offer me a sandwich. Thank you and f*** you!

Two Bowls of Ramen and a Hot Dog
Today has been nice and lazy. Once again, when I have something to do (especially if it's just one thing), I end up downloading some manga and wasting time on that. I woke up actually at 8:30, surprised at the time. I said, "It's so early!" and Yuri thought I was complaining about her watching the tapes I had suggested she watch today. That didn't bother me at all. In fact, I love sleeping with the TV on. There's something about it that just makes sleeping easier. I dunno. Anyway, when I woke up again at 11 or so, she was still watching. The tapes were of this marathon. I was annoyed a little that she fast forwarded past the commercials, which were the best part of that marathon. They're funny as hell.
So I just showered, ate a bowl of ramen, and then read manga. Finally, like about a couple hours ago, I got around to working on my closing case. So far, all I've done is re-read it and written some notes on it. I found the company mentioned in the case's website and looked at some stuff on their employee treatment (topic of the case). I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet for it... Man. I don't really even feel like doing it anymore. I finally got the first episode of Saiyuki Reload Gunlock. Finally! I mean, dang. Gunlock's been out forever... And someone's just now deciding to fansub it. Took your sweet time bastards...
Yuri and Iku were here just a little while ago. Um, I don't know what the heck they came here for. While they were here they mostly just fooled around and were loud. I proofread the introduction of a paper for Iku. Much less work than if it were for Yuri. I also ate another bowl of ramen plus a hot dog. I was displeased to find the hot dog buns I had stolen from the cafeteria are now hard. But whatever... Bread's bread. And I'm broke. I've decided to spend my last five dollars on some lotion instead of a meal during this three-day starvation period. It sucks, but there's nothing I can do about that really. Okay, but when the two first came, I heard a knock on the door. I went out there and no one was there, so I stepped out and looked on both sides. Both of them were hiding, trying to fool me. So I closed the door in their faces and locked the door. I was laughing though as I did it. So later on when I going to make my ramen, I leave the room. I come back to get some thing I left and the door's locked. I'm like, "what the f?" and unlock it. Yuri's all surprised and asks me why I have my key in Japanese. I'm like, "cuz I knew someone would try to lock me out." It wasn't quite the truth, but I was glad I had ruined her plan. The best thing was that Yuri was like, "kuso!" I have never heard her say that. She also went "chi!" which is equally hilarious. She also said in Japanese something that means like, "I was found out" or her plan was ruined. Something to that effect. That was great. This is first time in real life I've heard a Japanese person use "kuso." That's a moment I want to rememeber well.
Anyway, I'll probably end up finishing that powerpoint tomorrow. I just feel tired. Plus, tomorrow I'm hoping to go out to eat instead of starting the day off with ramen. It sucks that we can't go to Iku's to cook anything... Yuri said she would be studying all weekend, so she wouldn't be able to hang out with us, but um, didn't she do so tonight? I dunno. Anyway, Yuri watched Kill Bill 2 earlier, which I should have done too. I haven't seen it yet. But oh well. She didn't ruin it for me since she had her laptop turned away. Just hearing the words, doesn't really ruin much for me. I thought about doing it tonight, but probably not... Oh, well. Enough chatter. Might as well roll into bed after such a "productive" day.

Let the Starvation Begin...
Not too long ago I finished up the tempura I had ordered last night at the Japanese restaurant. It was all rainy yesterday, but not too bad when we went, though. I didn't like that I had to drive in a car with that girl from my Japanese class I don't like. Okay, like, when I got in Jennifer (who was driving us all all--me Nick, and the girl), wondered if Toya T was coming. I thought she was too, so I rang her up. The weird thing was that Toya asked about the girl while I was on the phone, and when I got off she asked, "what about the girl who sits across from you?" I was pissed, but I bet you would have never know it. Who the f does she think she is listening in?? Even if my volume on the phone was too loud, she had no right to ask. Should have told her "noneya."
She talks way too damn much. Plus, it was like she was talking so loud. I don't have a clue why. She needed to tone it down and shut up. And worse still, she not only often directly bragged, but indirectly bragged (which I find more annoying than direct). Like she kept talking about her old school, OSU, like it was the greatest school in the world. Now I love Emerson more than I ever will love any other school in my entire life, but it doesn't mean I'm going to try to say something like it is any better than any other school besides in the sense that it's more fun. Hehe. But really. I couldn't stand her. I swear she just likes to hear her own voice.
It continued onto the restaurant, but I didn't pay as much attention because I talked more to Toya once she arrived because she sat next to me. That was good. I really wished the girl wouldn't talk about Japan as if she was the number-one expert on it. And the fact that she's younger just amplifies my ire. One great thing I found out, though, was that the people there at Tokyo (this was the same restaurant from last year) are Chinese. The people that work there, that is. So that explains why I had thought the waiter was cute (it was the same guy from last time--I think he's kinda hot). Double T had thought our chef (the guy who comes over and stir fries the food) was cute. And he talked to us a little in Japanese, which was nice. I loved how Nick looked as he cooked the food. He has such great expression. I like him, much more than that girl (of course). Once he had said, at that party I went to at Aiko's some weeks back, that he was glad that annoying girl wasn't there. I asked him who, but I had known who he was talking about. Who else?? That gave him points in my favor a long time ago.
My tempura, which was chicken and vegetables, was so much more than I expected. But thanks to my many days of eating ramen, I was actually able to eat it with my chopsticks. I hadn't intended to pretend like I could use them, but I accidentally sent my fork away with my previous salad. It tasted really good with the rice and this sauce they brought to dip it in. My stomach was kicking, though, because I guess I ate too fast or too much or just eating tempura like that makes your stomach hurt. Didn't help the girl rambled on in a more arrogant manner than before on the ride back. Yes, we all hate when Japanese is misprounced, but we are not the "Pronounciation Police." She needs to get over it, as I'm sure Lauren might have said in that situation. Or her classic, "It's not that serious." So, yes, of course, the first thing I did once I tossed off my coat back in my room was go to the bathroom. My stomach hurt pretty bad.
Bad thing was that I had neglected to read information about the housing lottery and me and Yuri missed it. So we have to go to the whole thing next week. We may or may not be able to get our old room. It f-ing sucks. If we don't get into Bica, I'm going to be pissed off. It's not the most perfect dorm house (cuz none of them are), but it's better than some of them. Plus, here you don't have to worry about many younger punks around. Cuz it's an upperclassman dorm hall. Thank the Lord for that. After we found out we had missed it, I called up my partner from Theater and we practiced our acting scene which is due on the 4th. That's the complete opposite of my partner in Management who has yet to meet up with me! I'm like available so much, and he isn't! So Friday, since we have Good Friday off, I'm going to compose a powerpoint myself. I'm getting no help from him. Yes, it's bad to have a partner get credit for something that you did, but at least it's just one jackass. Not two (yes, I'm thinking of Accouting from last semester). It may all turn into hell because we've never met, but hey, I did survive the group project from hell. So I could handle a little ten minute powerpoint. Even if he messed up, I plan to be fabulous.
Today, itself was inconsequential. Went to Wellness lecture, ate lunch (and found out Mari's going to Boston for the weekend--‚うらやましい!), and then went to my Thursday class. I also bought a Thank you card for the guy who let me do the interview. With my laundry money on my ID card. Hey, I got like five bucks left from the 20 I brought to the Japanese restaurant. The check cleared and now there's only 10 dollars in my checking account. Yep, I'm poor. When I returned from class, Yuri asked me again (she had asked me before class, but I resisted) to call up her cell phone company and find out why it was turned off. Well, I managed to pretend I was Yuri's friend (her friend gave her the phone, so it's not in Yuri's name) and get the phone turned back on. Unfortunately, I may have screwed her over with the address thing... That's not too good... Oh, well. I told her to turn her account into a paperless billing one, so that should fix the problem. Her phone company had turned off her phone because the bills kept returning to them (despite Yuri wasn't even past payment and in fact has paid more than what she owes for two months). Really dumb and it took a while.
Now, I'm just kicking back... Downloading more manga. Just chilling. Like I said, doing the powerpoint tomorrow. After that, studying for Theater test on Monday. I may do my Thursday class homework. Dunno yet. I probably outta do Econ early so I don't forget about it. It's almost April... I can't wait to get some money, not even if it's just like 40 dollars. I'm serious. Hopefully this weekend won't suck. But then again, I'm sure all things will suck. It's a non-ending circle of suck-itidue. Plus, I'm going to starve, for sure. Damn Jigoku Dani. Why do you close the cafeteria for three days straight?? You f-ing bastards...

Okane ga nai...
I just noticed that the 20 dollar bills have changed. I mean, I noticed before back some years ago, but the more recent change I just noticed today. I went to Rite-Aid after class to pick up a dollar's worth of ramen (five packs) just so I could get cash back. I love "cash back." That's probably one of the best things about a debit card. I haven't really had 20 bucks in my hand in a long time... Although it would be in my best interest to spend as little possible at the Japanese restaurant, I'm going to try to pig-out. If not, well, it'd still be good. I think anyway... I saw Toya after I got back and she expressed her eagerness to go. I also saw her when I went to dinner with Iku and Yuri.
I just recently got back from dinner with them. Iku had come to our room before I went to Wellness at 1pm to look after a sick Yuri. I hadn't known she was sick until Iku came. She was there until I left and when I finished eating lunch after class, I saw Iku at campus grounds. I talked to her a little and then she soon came back to the room to check up on Yuri again. But she actually just ended up sleeping (together with Yuri in those not-made-for-two-people college beds). After she and Yuri woke, we all went to dinner. A friend of Iku's joined us for about half our time there, which was a little annoying. The girl talked a little too much. And the scary thing was that the second it popped into my head that she was actin ADD, the girl then made a comment about her needing to get checked for ADD. I was freaked! That does not happen often to me. Then she left and Megu joined us. It was pretty fun, as to be expected.
My favorite part was when Yuri started asking Megu about how she wanted to die. "That's our topic," she had said. Which is true. Lately we've been discussing about various ways to die. This started when Yuri started to say that she didn't care how she died. So I thought I would offer so scenarioes to her to find out if that was really true. Anyway, Megu couldn't decide, nor could Yuri think of a way that would be good for her, so it was up to me. So I told her one I had said before. Basically, it's a death from jumping off a really tall waterfall, breaking your legs (and probably some other bones) as you land, and drowning because you can no longer swim with broken bones. Yuri liked that one, but I said it was too good for her. Instead, I told her she would have a death by drinking too much "carrot milk." Not really milk made of carrots, but a solution of milk and carrot bits. This came after Yuri once said that she hated carrots and milk, but forgot to use the word "and." So it was funny to hear her say, "I hate carrot, milk." Yuri hated the idea of that death, but that was still funny. So then we decided to come up with something for Iku. Again, it was left to me. I suggested (offhandly) that her death could be burning. Yuri was like, "burn her?" I was like, "yeah," and then talked about drenching her in gasoline, lighting a match, and how she would run around screaming. I even did the motions of it, which really got them (Yuri and Megu--Iku wasn't paying attention) surprised at me. At first I thought they found it funny, but Yuri was laughing more so at the fact I was so mean. She was like, "see? She's so mean!" If it were possible for me, my face would have been red, I was laughing so hard. I loved how outraged they were (though they still laughed, despite their claims). The more people say something the more it becomes funny.
I forgot we got this stupid floor meeting soon. I phoned Yuri about it a little while ago because she went to study after dinner, so I hope she shows up (just in case they decide to charge a fine or something...). I need to get started on Econ, but I'm just fooling around with some things. Last time I went to Japanese restaurant my stomach was kicking. I hope this time that doesn't happen. Hmm. I think I'll try talking to my sister soon. I may need to borrow some money from her. I don't want to because I already owe her so much. It's going to be really retarded when I finally get my money. Oh. I phoned the VA yesterday--finally! I mean, okay, I tried calling them at one point and they had the audacity to actually have this automated voice that says something like, "we're sorry. All of our case managers are unavailable right now. We're sorry for the inconvenience. Please try your call later." And then it actually hung up on me! There was no waiting phone line thingy! It just hung up on you and told you to try again later! Fuzakenna (Gotta be f-ing kidding me)! So I kept calling until I did finally become good enough to be on a waiting list to talk to someone. Took forever. I like was studying Management at the time and got like half a chapter re-read as I waited. The worst was that the man I talked to was like, "oh, you need to call this number." I was pissed because the stupid website didn't say I needed to call my regional VA office (which is in Buffalo, NY). So I called them up and was put on another phone-waiting line. So guitar! Oops. Gotta go to that meeting...
Stupid meeting. I loved Yuri's expression when she showed up. There were like five people there, including me. It was like just telling us information we had already known. So dumb... "This is it??" Yuri had said. I couldn't help but laugh.
Anyways, I finally got through to the office and talked with a lady this time. She asked me some routine questions and then told me I had some kind of 8-week waiting period that had just ended. Um, lady, what the f?? I was so pissed. I wish I could have just cursed at her, especially when she said she had just sent it to get processed and it would now take an additional two weeks before they sent out any money. Um. If you're just going to make me wait this f-ing long, you might as well give it all to me, cuz it's hardly monthly--bitches. Wish they'd all burn. By then, um, registration will be nearly done and may not get into that class. I may cry about that (or drop Intl Bus.). There's only one thing I like about business is that it's something I think I'm horrible at and have no idea what's going on, but perhaps I can do it. I'd like to prove myself wrong. It'd be nice. I actually don't do it very often...
So maybe I'll get some in April. I hate the VA. I made this weird thing for ann no aku's birthday. The first two pics are like a funny explanation of why I don't have anything to give her for her birthday and the last picture is just her birthday card.
I also made her one for her last birthday, which is pictured below. I randomly found this fan pic by a Japanese artist. Since I have alterted it, I'll put it up. Because it's just a b-day card now. Oh, those pictures I used for her birthday this year came from my Yamato Nadeshiko Shichihenge manga. And Sunako (shown in her super-deformed mode) had been making a chocolate cake for herself on Valentine's day because she loves chocolate to death. ^_^
I really like that picture. I think it's scary that I found it around the time of her birthday. Frightens me a little. Anyway, I'm kinda sad that the newest Yamato Nadeshiko Shichihenge manga came out (with a cute Yuki and a strawberry on the cover!) and I can't buy it cuz I'm poor! Sucks so much! I haven't been able to buy the manga magazine, so this manga will be absolutely new to me. I hate that. I want it now! I don't want to wait. I miss Sunako. Oh, well... Time for Econ. I'm tired. I may fall asleep before I call up lil' sis...
