Kenshin is dead. Long live Kenshin!

18 07 2006

okay, well, techincally Kenshin was never alive.  so that point is moot.


But I did want to mention it here.  I got the final 3 volumes of Kenshin in the mail today.  and I read them all in about 2.5hours.  I am mentioning it however becuase its a pretty significant thing in that I have been reading these manga for about 3 years.  and thats along time.   I wonder if my obsession will wane now?


So, heres my salute to the final ruroken.






A little something to look at

i really dont know where time goes….


Have uploaded my photos from my graduation, they can be found here – http://www.flickr.com/photos/michelelisa/sets/72157594201884046/


and I uploaded some photos from when Yui was here on holidays – http://www.flickr.com/photos/michelelisa/


I love these photos



The superman escpae photo took 3 times to get right (and Yui losing the ability of her legs), and the Scooby Doo Coaster, well, we had no idea where the camera was, so we were pulling faces for about minutes.  Fun and games


I’d better post a picture from my grad too…






arrrr! tis a day of celebrations!

smart kids go head to head

4 07 2006

Catalyst is fast (if you can say that for something that only screens once a week) becoming one of my favorite tv shows.


Oh my gosh Im a geek…….


They’ve been playing a four part series called ‘Battle of the Brains’ (oh, look, the kids have colored labcoats!) Its an absolutely fascinating doco about the kids who are trying for the International Biology Olympiad


Whats really stuck me in the last episode to air here was that they girls that got thru are all very normal (well, except one, shes on the far left.).  Most of these people arn’t your cliche’ smart kids!  Sure, there were two in particular that were (child genius and the girl who rewrote parody tests with her bf for fun), but only one of them got thru. 


Its a really refreshing series that shows that all smart people arent all kooky.  And for that I like it





cramming

–>This is how I feel (but without the cute little contented smile)


yesterday was crammed full, and its been such a long time since I’ve had a day like it


sometimes I hate having obligations because they can make you very tired!!!


its funny because I remember while driving from wynuum (?) to chermside I was thinking “it really feels like I’ve had a full day already” despite the fact it was only 7pmish


but in a way this is a good tired.  I worked hard, I played hard.  and spent some quality time with friends


Ravyn has written a were fanfic for ruroken.  I had to laugh.  I dont know why I have this fascination with werewolves, vampires, pirates and ninjas atm…..  but then we always knew I was a little strange.


 


I think its time for a hairy lemon





Quotes

this quote from dragonsdaughter is worth a post.  hahah


‘Procrastination is like masturbation. It feels good, but in the end you’re only screwing yourself.’

there’s an advertisement in the form of this huge silver box in the middle of the airport for the next few months.  Its for Emirates and the world cup.  And part of the ‘box’ is an internet terminal that you take a photo in and email it to your friends. 


Since i have time to play here are a few examples….






through the window

1 06 2006

A sudden clack of the wheels upon the tracks, and the cabin suddenly fills with light.  The train travels fast, but in the distance a mountain stands tall and fixed.  Power lines flash by, too quick for the eye to focus.  Down below the train line is a field, lush and green, yet no one works it.  Now a road, followed by a country house, warm and homey looking.  All too soon that one home becomes a line of houses.  A tall building.  and then another, followed by more.  And then the building become houses again.  Fields start to appear.  The mountain is still in the distance.  But she doesn’t really see these things.  She is just passing through.





betta bloat

17 05 2006

Anyways about a month and a half ago I noticed a small lump on his right lower side just before the anal fin. It hasn’t changed but It does look like some scales are raised slightly in that area. I have tried to find an accurate internal betta anatomy picture but to no avail.
<This one is about right:  http://www.bubblenest.net/betta_anatomy2.jpg >
I know the swimbladder is along the back of the fish and all his internal organs are in the area between head and anal fin. But how far forward are they…where is his stomach, anus and intestines?
<Take a look at that image – it’s pretty good.>
Thinking it might be constipation I fasted him for one day and substituted Epsom salt for the aquarium salt (1/8 tsp per 5 gallons).
<Doesn’t sound like constipation.>
I never actually see him potty but I did see him the second day on the Epsom. Do fish potty quickly, or does it hang on for a while?
<Mm, depends on the food.  To be honest, I never see my betta in the act, either.>
The color was a light brown.
<Normal.>
