I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

My band director used to always tell me, "if you're going to do something, you should do it right". 20 years later I can confidently say I have never been given worse advice in my life

Let's Play: really fucked up portrayal if Americans. Everyone talks openly about their feelings

Also I can't help cringing every time they call this American girl named Sam Samu

Things I hate in anime (catching up on let's play): the belief friends of opposite genders can't spend a night in the same house or the man will rape her

Handel's Messiah has so many bangers

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

I am on track to reject 8/8 papers I am in charge of for this conference :( But man when one literally doesn't even include a single reference... felt bad to even bother sending that to reviewers. (but supposed to by the conference policy)

Starting Let's Play and this is not an accurate depiction of American apartment living lol. Also love how someone named their son Martial Law

Reading this scene where someone is crying and the tears on her cheek are described as a "trail of tears" and thinking about the importance of cultural context in translation

I went to Safeway (stupid I know), gave the cashier my card, but it didn't scan correctly or something and my price basically doubled, which I only realized once I got home. These Safeway cards should be illegal

Can't believe so many of you are watching baseball

Three hours.

My parents have turned the heat up to 74 degrees. This is beyond my comprehension

I almost wish the Rapture would happen just to see the look on Richard Dawkins' dumb face. Sure it would mean I'm going to hell too or whatever happens, but still...pretty funny.

Had been trying to remember what my favorite childhood picture book was called for years and I finally found it.
