i don't remember if i posted about their concert. i went a few weeks ago and they were promoting their new animated tv show:
it is indeed crack-smoking. but entertaining in its crack-smokingness.
as for the concert.... i still maintain that i'd rather watch a concert in japan and avoid the masses of otaku i encountered in the fillmore. i mean.... it's nice that we can appreciate cool music and all, but MAN...
OTAKU.
scary.
i'm frufru, even in my planets. i guessi should try to harness this for my studies in art or something :)
| You Are From Neptune |
 You are dreamy and mystical, with a natural psychic ability. You love music, poetry, dance, and (most of all) the open sea. Your soul is filled with possibilities, and your heart overflows with compassion. You can be in a room full of friendly people and feel all alone. If you don't get carried away with one idea, your spiritual nature will see you through anything. |
i actually don't have enough livejournal buddies for this to work great, but it's funny to see what they did with the few that i had.
nowhun is just out of luck. or is he? hmmm
in preparation to meet my parents again, i have dyed my hair purple.
when wet, you can barely tell that my hair is dyed. we'll see how it looks dried.
it's a little trippy to see myself with dark hair color again. it makes me feel a lot paler. i don't feel as tan anymore.
trying to wake up at 7am after having slept at 4 was a real bitch.
after that one day that my classes got cancelled with very little/unexpected notice, i've been checking my email as soon as i wake up, hoping against all hope that class might be cancelled on some days.
today was one of those days.
yay! i did a happy dance.
now i'm back to being tired and pondering if i want to go out to breakfast with my sweetie or just stay and in snooze more. he left me alone too long (~5 min) and i'm starting to notice my fatigue.
for today, class from 3-530 only. what a relief. :)
and it was just confirmed that we are indeed going to have to make that book, so i better get crackin'.
Which Dr. Seuss character are you?

just until it gets prodded again.
i even have a hard time watching the daily show, because in my heart of hearts, i was hoping that jon stewart would have been making fun of kerry for the next 4 years.
1 in 10 people in the age range of 18 to 24 voted. i made up for 9 other people???
that's just wrong. no wonder the conservative half won. i mean, they are of a different generation, they will definitely feel different about some of these "core fundamental values" of being american.
i just hope that this means the future might be brighter, since we'll all get older, and hopefully the people will vote more as they age. then again, the people that voted this time were the people who lived through the civil rights movements and the vietnam war, so maybe i shouldn't hope so much.
i was explaining why i was so surprised at bush and why i'm so horrified by him:
my parents didn't ever really pay attention to american politics because they were 1) in another country 2) in this country, trying to stay afloat and learn english 3) in this country, and unable to vote (not naturalized). so i was not really aware of how bad previous presidents were before i started noticing them. no stories of the great depression/cold war/vietnam war from my relatives and parents.
my us history class never made it past mccarthyism. so no help there either.
the first president i was at all aware of was george bush, sr., when i was around 9 or 10. i don't even know who he was running against, for his first presidency.
i remember when clinton won... my middle school had done a mock election. clinton won there, too, though perot had a fair amount of attention as well. and i honestly liked clinton and i thought he was doing a fairly intelligent job, even though i didn't really understand that much. i have a rough idea of what was going on in korea politically in my time and in my parents time because my parents are aware of it and when in korea, people talked about it a lot. more so than i've experienced in the us, anyway. honestly, i didn't start paying attention to current events in the us until i was able to vote, in 2001.
i still remember feeling very bummed that gore lost, not because i thought he would do a good job, but because i thought he would fuck things up less. bush confirmed that with his four year presidency.
i had such high hopes. we all did. and it was so sad. it makes me wonder if families in the us actually talk about politics, history, current events and other such things with their children. i know that parakkum's family has, but they're special in a lot of ways. just how knowledgeable is the average american? and even with knowledge, people obviously still voted for bush, like the parents of our friends.
i was saying that as long as i've been aware, bush has been the worst president. the worst president of my lifetime. parakkum said that he's the worst of his too.
but really, i don't actually know of any worse. any suggestions?
Aljazeera.Net - Full transcript of bin Ladin's speech
i agree with ungrok:
read it.
so scary.
he's getting exactly what he wants.
i wish that the contents of the speech were actually talked about instead of the fact that bin laden made a speech. the emphasis was on that he made a speech because it obviously highlighted a campaign technique that was favorable to bush: fear of terrorism.
but i wonder... if people knew what bin laden had said, would we still have bush as our continuing president? or would people still have failed to see that bush really isn't the solution to this problem, especially with bin laden saying that bush is basically doing exactly what he wants.
now... how many of you wanna bet that the republicans already knew what the speech was about? of course they had to have translated it within the hour and yet... they would still insist upon this mass destruction of people, countries, funds, economy... for what??
why are they so fucking stupid??
how can they be so vested in their own personal interests such that they don't care for all the lives they've ruined or taken... that they're driving a nation to bankruptcy and ruin?
i honestly believe that selfishness is the true root of all evil.
it bothers me intensely that this administration has shown nothing else but that.
just thought i'd explain the color change.
i'm depressed from the results of the election. i, too, felt ill but managed to not puke from the results.
i'll change the colors back when i'm feeling more calm.
comments on typeface choice and size or such is appreciated.
