And the word of the day is...
Monday, May 11th, 2009 12:14 pmVug is such a fun word to say.
Vug. Vug. vug.
I kind of wish I could use it more in every day talk. Alas, not even the spellchecker recognizes it as a word. It is a word though. A vug is a small space that is in the middle of a rock. You can have a rock with a few vugs or a very vuggy rock.
Vuggy is also a fun word. And despite the spellchecker's insistence, it is also a valid word.
Vuggy!
That is all.
Vug. Vug. vug.

My computer moves fast
Sunday, February 8th, 2009 11:00 amOn Feb. 6th, my laptop was in Shenzhen, China. Today at 9:51am It was in Louisville, KY. I can probably expect it tomorrow.
Damn my laptop moves fast.
Which is good, because I have an idea for a story that is eating my brain. And I want to finish up the Young Avengers fic I started. And someone mentioned the Luke/Isaac/Zavier story I was working on...

Mixed signals
Thursday, February 5th, 2009 08:34 amA while ago I made a post about signs that were placed on the trashcans that basically say "Please do not place trash in trashcans." They also instruct people to put their trash and trays on the conveyor belt. Yesterday, two large trashcans and a cart blocked the conveyor belt. Everyone was putting their trash in the trashcans and putting their trays on the cart.
This was less than 3ft from the trashcans with the signs saying "Please do not place trash in trashcans."
I'm so confused.

Cooking day!
Sunday, February 1st, 2009 08:48 pmIn an effort to avoid any and all Super Bowl TV,
miome and I stayed in today. We had pizza for lunch. Papa John's was having a special with 1 large with unlimited toppings, so we loaded it up with veggies, chicken and bacon. Then we took a nap in the afternoon and I woke up and made meatloaf. I'm not really tired so I might make some more mint syrup. We're almost out of the last batch I made. It's awesome in tea and I still want to try making mint sugar cookies with it.
Right now I'm watching Wipeout, which is an American show that reminds me of Takahashi's castle only without the ridiculous costumes the contestants sometimes wear. I am really surprised they haven't gotten the crap sued out of them. But until they do, I'm going to laugh at people making fools of themselves and falling on their asses.

Tsaiko & Miome Theatre: Amazon LOL
Sunday, December 28th, 2008 09:56 pmMiome: We need to go to bed soon.
Tsaiko: Probably. *is scrolling through her Amazon recommendations*
Miome: Making out?
Tsaiko: ... What?
Miome: Did Amazon just recommend to you a Guide for Making Out?
Tsaiko: Hold on... No. They recommended a book called "Mapping it Out."
Miome: Oh. Okay.
Tsaiko: I think I would have been more interested in the Guide for Making Out. XD

Most embarrassing question on the internet
Saturday, December 27th, 2008 12:58 pmI wondering: what was the most embarrassing question that you've ever been asked over the internet?
Mine was when, after reading a piece of my writing (which granted, hadn't been proofread so that was my bad), someone asked me if English was my native language. Talk about a blow to an American-can't-speak-any-other-language-but-English writer.
What was even worse was after I responded yes, they didn't believe me. -_-
Obviously, if they heard me talk, they'd know that English was if not my native language then one I am fluent in. If I wasn't so eager to get my stories out and actually took advantage of beta-readers, this wouldn't have been an issue either so it is partially my fault.
So what is your most embarrassing question asked on the internet?

Finally, dear weathermen,
I don't know what kind of crack you are smoking, but precipitation that falls when the temperature is 23 degrees (-5 C) is not going to be rain. It may start out as rain, it may even fall as rain, but it sure as hell is going to freeze at some point. Therefore it will either be snow, sleet, or freezing rain. Not rain. Please get a clue.
No love,
Tsaiko

Movie critic
Friday, December 19th, 2008 08:48 pmI was trying to describe to
miome what most people think of Tom Cruise's upcoming movie.
"It's like Tom Cruise jumped the shark and hit a Nazi on the way down."
Though from the reviews on the IMDB, it might actually be a good movie. We shall see when it opens. I will probably never see it simply because I don't like that type of movie.

Monday, October 20th, 2008 04:33 pmThe Gideons were on campus today passing out their tiny copies of the New Testament. I have to admit, I always have to stop myself from going up to them and asking what color the little Bibles are. I don't think they'd appreciate that so I stop myself. Still the urge is there. I have a red one from Middle school and a green one from High School. I also have an ancient yellow one, which I don't think they make any more (I'm not sure when/where I picked it up, but it's an atrocious yellow). I really want to have a whole set in rainbow colors across a shelf.
The Wikipedia article doesn't mention yellow as a color. They also don't have a purple one. That makes me sad. I've not see the orange kind, but I want one. That would at least give me half the rainbow. Then all I would need was to convince a police officer/firefighter/EMT to send me a blue one. I'm still disappointed in the lack of purple.
Why do I want a rainbow shelf of Gideons bibles? I have no idea. I just think it would be awesome.
