I still like Eiji (haven't watched any eps after 96 except the boringest Yamato-buchou one), and you know how I feel towards Fuji. You like Ryoma, and I generally dislike the little brat. Oh well, de gustibus non est disputandum.
I still don't like the fact that Rikkai hurt Eiji though. First, I think Kiku would make a great pet, so I kinda see him as one. Annoying at times, but generally cute. Second, hurting Eiji = making Oishi worry = BAD. Oishi really does not need to worry anymore of his egg-shaped little head off.
Fun fangirling with you and she-who-should-come-with-a-warning-label on Gundam Seed. Must finish....
Will have to wait until after the lab practical though! I suck at those. I don't think the animals like me very much. I get frustrated while studying so I kept jabbing the blunt probe into bad places.... Though technically the probe should have gone through easily.... Not my fault my shark ain't quite right.
I've decided, Chris is probably my favorite professor. Well, for teaching I still think Haines is the best professor I've had, but Chris is just such a nice guy.
A couple of days ago I saw him while I was at work, so he asked me about applications and stuff. I told him what had been happening, and he gets all excited and starts talking VERY loudly. I'm pretty sure I was quite red because he was so loud in the generally quiet lab. Anyway, he's so nice. He starts telling me about his cousin and his former thesis students, etc, etc. He really seems to care about his students... considering how I haven't even been in his class for a semester now. Most of my professors forget who I am before the end of finals! and I usually like it that way! ;-)
Am getting hit with a lot of people looking for "I wake to sleep". Almost willing to bet that some of them are people looking for interpretations so they can write their papers. I am a CHEMISTRY major. I don't do literary analyses.

Wilbur's down. This is great. bleh.
Look, I was good and did work yesterday!
But that means I didn't watch any Gundam Seed, so now I am only at 35 and will not finish by the end of this weekend. so sorry Tam, can I keep them a little longer?
Thoughts on 30-35, have a couple of spoilers so I'll leave them in white since I think Poundcake wants to watch the series?
Damn it, I was so happy to see Frey and the short-haired bitch (who I now realize is no longer an ensign, but a lieutenant) go away. Then I thought that the Alaska base would blow up, so I thought "Crap, they're going to destroy the place when those 2 aren't there???"
Still not liking Kira because I don't like the Earth Alliance. I am confused as to how he ended up at Rakusu's... Isn't that kinda far away from Earth?
So yeah, I wish that Becca had not made significant changes to the lab Mac image before vacation. The process is taking forever. I've been here for an hour and a half and only 6 of the computers have gone through. :( Looks like I'll have to come back tomorrow night unless I want to stay here until 11pm.
Gotta wonder about the security here though that I managed to get inside the locked building with very little trouble.
this is why I don't like to cook when I'm here by myself during break!
Stomach - I'm hungry. feed me, feed me, feed me, feed me, feed me, feed me, feed me, feed me.
Me - Fine godamnit, I'll cook.
Two minutes before the noodles are ready: Stomach - nevermind. Not hungry now.
Went out to dinner with Gloria yesterday since she got back from NY. Thought about celebrating b-day with someone, but am not really close with her as well as they wanted to head out at 9. I hadn't eaten all day, so I wanted to eat dinner earlier.
anyway, went to Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. Not bad, but had a strange experience with the waiters. Apparently, some time during the meal, Gloria notices that they were all lined up near us (we were sitting near the front of the restaurant and all the other people were kinda towards the back). They weren't like right behind me, but they were much closer to us than any other table, so we were kinda like "wtf?" I kinda looked back several times, so they might have gotten the idea that we were getting confused, so they shifted toward the middle.
Then a little bit later, Gloria noticed that they were near the front again. Me being a weirdo was monitoring them by their reflection in the window, and for some reason, they did keep moving up. Again, me, being the paranoid weirdo that I am, listened in on their conversation. Disclaimer here - Cantonese people are loud. It's not like I had to crane my head toward them to hear them. Also, they KNEW I spoke Cantonese because I spoke and ordered in Cantonese (the dish is four words/syllables in Chinese and maybe 10 syllables in English, including the word Szechuan, which I just don't know how to pronounce) so it's not like they thought their conversation was really private.
They were saying something about speaking English and being ABCs (American born Chinese), etc. I *think* they thought that Gloria was Chinese and that it was weird that she didn't speak chinese. I think the reason they may have been so close to us was because they were trying to listen to us talk in English.... Anyway, I got weird looks when I walked by some of them..... Yeah, so that was strange. I always seem to have these strange encounters whenever I go to Chinatown with non-chinese friends.....

Watched a whole lotta Gundam Seed today, especially because there was no internet connection for most of the day. No spoilers, really. Mainly me bitching about Frey.
16 - omg, not only is Frey an evil ho bitch, she's a demented, slutty evil ho bitch. UGH. What the hell is her job other than her official capacity as Kira's food bringer and obligatory weenie chick?
And is that Okiayu Ryoutarou I hear??
17-18 - That HAS to be Okiayu as the coffee-junkie who looks like Wolverine! and suddenly the anime gets more interesting...... heheheh
Kira, you're a dumb-ass. Why Frey?!?!?!?!? You're losing points for this.
19 - I like Kagari, kinda. She does have this annoying tendency to hide behind Kira. Okiayu's character is on-crack...
20 - Yay Kira, run away from that stupid bitch! I REALLY like Asuran.
21-27 A lot of flashbacks and whatnot, huh? skipped a lot in these eps. Now see what Gloria meant by slow.
28 - interesting.... I remember reading spoilers for this, but now I can't remember who it is....
29 - spoiler in white Kira you killed Nikorru?!?!?!?!?!? You SUCK!!!!!! I LIKED Nikorru (or Nichol or whatever his name is) and you go and $*&^()*%%$&^ing kill him????? Damn you, damn you, you deserve Frey.
It's so addictive! and they have such pretty eyes....

episodes 11-15
This has been the thought that has been going through my mind for the last five episodes: Evil ho bitch. Yeah, guess who I'm talking about.
I also hate the Ensign bitch more and more now.
ZAFT has pretty uniforms.... is it wrong that I like ZAFT better than the Earth Alliance? I mean, I still don't completely understand the whole Bloody Valentine dealy, but at least there aren't as many people in ZAFT who pisses me off.
Will sleep now. Hope eveyone had a great Thanksgiving!

Gundam Seed 6-10:
Die Frey Die!!!!!!!!! Please tell me she actually has a purpose in life other than to annoy the crap out of me.
That Ensign also needs to be killed. I'm sorry, she sucks.
I like Asuran. He's so purdy. I like Kira too. Milly and Sai are growing on me... but Frey needs to die. *Kick stab kill*

Was at work for 4 hours today. Not much to do. Played games the entire time when I should have worked.
Marge bought us lunch though because I was working after lunch and the other two HDers had been there the entire day. So she got lunch for all of us. yay!
Hope eveyone had good trips home and is enjoying a nice vacation!!!
So, it's Thanksgiving break, and no one is here. So of course that means anime marathon!
Series of choice this year is: Gundam Seed
So far, I've only seen five, and I am quite okay with it. Better than okay, but I'm not dying to get through the eps like I was with PoT last spring break. I'm still interested, which is good since I didn't even last that long with Gundam Wing.
I like Kira and Asuran. Very pretty and kick-ass. I don't like Ensign what's-her-face and Frey. They are both very obnoxious. Frey most of all. Weenie chick.
All others are eh... except for Yzak.
I like Yzak. :D Yzak's weird, Yzak's violent, Yzak's a nutjob, and Yzak makes me laugh. In other words, Yzak's just my type of anime character. hehehehe
Plus he's voiced by Seki Tomokazu, whose voice I didn't recognize right away. However, when Yzak got a bit happy during the fighting, it was easy to tell it was Seki.
Also am I hearing Mizuki's (of PoT) voice in Asuran?? Wait, I was right, it is him. Ishida Akira. He doesn't sound evil here... as Mizuki, he made me want to cower in a corner somewhere just by saying "Fuji-kun". I like Asuran though.
Kira also sounded familiar and found out he's voiced by Hoshi, who's the voice of Gakuto, no? He sounds different, too.
Anyway, back to the series, I am curious as to what the hell Bloody Valentine is, and I hope they explain it. There are some parts that I wish I could fast-forward through, but overall, the pace is okay. Angst and mecha without humor ain't usually my type of anime, but Yzak helps a lot!! heheheheheeeee

Full Metal Alchemist was fun. I'm surprised... usually intro eps bore me. These didn't. Liked the art. Liked the storyline. Didn't even mind that they repeated that golden rule of alchemy (or whatever it was) too many times.
Both Al and Ed are voiced by women. Someone said Ed's only 15, so it's not that bad. But let me just say, Tezuka's 14. hehehe
Am also surprised by the fact that I liked the last episodes of Princess Tutu. I have no interest in going back and watching the parts I missed, but I liked the ending. Fakia stopped creeping me out. Claire/Ruu disturbs me. Oji/Mute and Princess Tutu/Ahiru suck for leaving Fakia after all he does to help them.
Saw Love Actually with Poundcake. It was fun. Lots of gratuitous nudity. Thought of you while the watching movie. Wait.... that sounds wrong. To clarify, I thought of you when Alan Rickman was on-screen, not because of the gratuitous nudity. ;)
Had trouble recognizing him because I was expecting jet black hair a la Snape. Am terribly amused by the fact that Rickman played Emma Thompson's husband... She's going to play Trelawney in the next Harry Potter movie. I'm going to think of Snape and Trelawney as a married couple. That's just so wrong.
Today began pretty miserably with me saying one too many times "People SUCK".
And they do.
But not everyone. Just the ones that do stupid things and then lie about their stupid actions. I'm the weekend manager this week, so when I went to check on the labs, I found out that the consultant wasn't there. I waited for her for over an hour, but she didn't show. I left to check on the other two labs, the consultant station of one was having issues connecting to the network, so I was gone for about 30 minutes. I came back, and she was still not there.
The good part was that I saw Hillary and got to chat with her, something I haven't done in a LONG time.
The consultant finally strolls in more than 2 hours after she left, so I, being a bitch about things, let her settle in first before approaching her. She didn't know I had been there for a while, but I wanted to give her a chance to fess up.
So... how's everything going? Everything's fine. No problems? Nothing you need to tell me about? No. Okay, I was actually here earlier for a walk-through didn't see you... Oh! I was in the lab downstairs.
Um, I was in the lab for over an hour... Oh, I was downstairs and was sitting outside the lab! Uh-huh... I've noticed that you were gone for over 2 hours, and you know you're supposed to be at the consultant's station, right?
Oh, my eyes were hurting so I went to sit away from the computer.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiight. I told her to email our boss, and in the email, she tells us that she had went downstairs to do her tasks, then went to sit in a quiet place because her eyes hurt. Then she fell asleep...
My reaction: Then why did you bring your backpack? and why did you come back to the lab from the west side when the other lab is in the east side? and why did you just lie to me when I first gave you the chance to tell me what happened?
Bull-fucking-shit. Goddamn it. This is the 2nd time I've been weekend manager, and this is the 2nd time I've had to sit in a lab waiting for the consultant who decided to leave in the middle of a shift. Stupid people putting me in a stupid situation that just isn't right. I definitely hope she ain't expecting to get paid for those 2+ hrs.
One last time tonight: People suck.

Brief entry: FC down due to an emergency server shut down.
They are not sure when it will be back up (poor them who has to take care of this problem at 4:20 on a Friday afternoon...), but they are working to get it up asap.
Working at the Helpdesk on days like this is INTERESTING.

Thank you Poundcake! Maybe some time over break I'll remove all traces of my real life identity from the blog and then you can add me back if that'll make it easier? I just don't want to bitch about someone and have them stumble here.... if I want to say something to them, it'll be in person. I just needed to vent yesterday because I have been in a mood lately.
Just out of curiosity, did you delete that post from the tagboard or am I going nuts?
I am curious as to what went on on the 2nd floor this year? I know there was this whole drama that ended about 6 pairs of roommates swapping rooms (and that was the beginning to the game of "musical-rooms"...)
I spent about 3 hours doing NOTHING today. I mean, nothing, just listening to "Jen-san" and "Te-chan". It was the laziest 3 hours I've spent in a while now.
In other random news, hopefully, I will get to see the screening of MLS. I asked for 5:00, 7:30, 10:00, and 2:30, and it was sent 9:59 by FC clock. It was 10:05 by my clock.
Spoiler for PoT manga: (First of all, let me just say, the art was not nearly as nice as I remember it being, and Kikumaru was not a cute little kid.)
Just looked through Genius 203. Rikkaidai people hurt Kikumaru! Bad! Evil! No!
Okay, if you're wondering, I think Kikumaru Eiji is probably the one that I feel like needs protecting the most out of the Seigaku team. He's such a little kid. Really, he'd make such a great pet. *cackle* Okay, fine, he'd make a good little brother too.... if I had to mysteriously find myself with a little brother at this age, that is. Growing up with Kiku bouncing around would be rather painful, I'd imagine.
But they hurt him! no no no no no. Bastards. He had to be taken off the court in a stretcher. Evil bastards.
Oishi looks concerned, poor guy.
In the end of the chapter, Eiji bounces up and I guess the Golden Pair will launch a counter-attack. Oishi needs to beat the crap out of them for hurting Eiji. Fuji also needs to kick ass too.... they dared to pick on his friend?!?!?!
Gah, now that that's out of my system, let me explain. I feel REALLY protective of some of the PoT characters. Eiji, Jiroh, and Yuuta, just to name a few. I don't like it when people hurt them. That's just bad.
What the hell is wrong with me? I'm being extremely inarticulate, incoherent, and unmotivated today. Not to mention tired. I am not feeling quite right.
