Considerations

HMM. Amazon price dropped to $1,322.46. 1323.46 if I get Amazon’s laptop instead since they almost price-matched J&R or whatever.

No es muy interesante

I saw this at Walgreens sometime in December.

Okay, that’s probably the most interesting thing in this entry.

Called Kinokuniya the other day and it turns out they did indeed send us a postcard. Since they have my name, address, and phone number, I can just come in with identification. Whoop!

The PFA Library is pretty much three or four separate rooms with books and files. It’s smaller than I thought it’d be and kind of has limited seating. It’s all secretive and stuff since I had to sign in to gain access. The receptionist had to buzz me in. Fancy! I spent about three hours in there and scanned 63 pages worth of stuff.

No clever title :(

…Man, I can’t stop thinking about how my parents may have thrown out a Kinokuniya postcard (more specifically my dad since he loves throwing things away; he even threw away one of my brother’s puzzles because he hadn’t put it together). I went in like last month or the month before to special order a magazine and they told me there was a 50-50 chance they’d be able to acquire the item for me. I didn’t actually expect them to get it, so I went ahead and ordered them online, though it’ll be some time before they get shipped to my house. I appreciate my mom finally telling me, but doing that on a Monday when I know I can’t go to the store to check is going to distract me for the rest of the week. Guess I’ll sell the copy I ordered or ask Akadot to cancel or swap it for something else. It’d be sad too if it turned out to be something else instead of a Kinokuniya postcard, meaning we’d waste gasoline.

…I’ll just call them tomorrow or the day after. b

Closest thing to Twitter style

• Damn it. It’s Pre-conventional –> conventional –> post-conventional. Wonder how I got it into my head that there wasn’t a post. I was debating over this one… Well, I think I did better than last time, but who knows? Doubt I got an A though. ;; Might end up taking the final at this rate… *5:32 – Nope, not an A. Definitely better than last time. Median range this time. Will have to take the final for any chance of an A in the class. Need an almost perfect score on the third exam and a score comparable to today’s exam.
  
• Going to see whether there’s any film crit on prostitutes. Have an experiment to attend at 11 am.

I will spoil my parents once I start earning a living

I found out on Friday that the tax rose to 9.25% in San Jose! Sheesh, I can’t believe Berkeley’s tax is lower–wait, I should check. … …Nevermind, proportions are still about the same. Still .50% higher than San Jose. This increase makes me love Amazon even more than before. It’s like a cruel April Fools’ joke. Oh wait, this entry isn’t about taxes. On the bright side, my parents only buy a crap load of stuff at Target when they have a 10% off coupon, so it kind of counters taxes. Okay, shutting up about that now (too bad now I’m thinking about it a lot and want to read up on it since I haven’t taken an economics class since high school and don’t remember anything; my ignorance makes me very sad).

Sam’s Market

Moar pasta. b

• CLASSICO TRADITIONAL FAVORITES: FOUR CHEESES – $3.99
• DE CECCO Capellini – $2.59

Don’t you love my caps? Apparently capellini only has a two-minute cooking time. My guess is that it’s attributed to how thin the pasta is. I still have bow ties to finish, but I like grabbing groceries on Tuesdays.

This is just to say

I love you guys. (Damn it, this is embarrassing. ///)

…I’ve always felt awkward about saying this kind of thing, but I’ve been thinking about how much I want a friendship that feels like it’ll last forever. I love how we’re able to just get back into routine when we see each other, despite the many months we don’t see each other, the physical distance, and all those inside jokes with which we have nothing to do. We make new ones,  building more bridges to help us cross the newly formed gaps. (I’m almost tempted to compare it to stitching, but I think that’d scar Jeannie. I’ll leave that to Kim if she ever has to stitch people up. I don’t think that’s something a nurse practitioner does though.)

I’m too much of a coward to easily say that I’d risk my life for our friendship, but I love how comfortable we are around each other, how we can poke fun at each other…albeit sometimes unsuccessfully. (Kim’s very good at topping us all, but vice versa is a no.) I like how worries seem to melt away when we’re talking. I think another part of why I dislike school more than I did in the past is because of how it gets in the way of our making more of these “could-be” moments.

I don’t like the feeling of panic  and dread that returned with the ending of Spring Break. It’s like a reminder of loneliness. I thought I was used to it, but when you get a taste of being with people you’re close to, you realize it’s not  something you ever really get used to. No, it’s about resignation. Like I’ve mentioned to Jeannie, I feel so spoiled by these childhood-long friendships that I don’t think any new bonds can compare. I don’t want convenient friendships; networking is so insincere. I know it’s something that has to be done, but…

Bah, I’m an emotastic sap. ;; I really don’t like talking about these sorts of things because I’m sure it’s easy to solve this. I’m just a coward. Dude, this was supposed to be cheerful entry.

This declaration of platonic love is sponsored by One Piece, topping extraordinaire.

I’ve been updating LJ more often these past few days…

Had loads of fun with Kim, Caroline, Jeannie, and Serena yesterday! …Though not all of us were together at once. ;; Our fiesta de disney was more of a fiesta de youtube/korean conversion, haha. I’m too lazy to do a rundown of what happened, but maybe Jeannie will do it. ;D (She probably won’t since I’m the one who writes long entries…unless she’s writing about cleansing products. By the way, I used hers and my skin feels nice. IT IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.) In other news, Kim sort of taught me how to cut pancakes. …Only she still wants to teach me how to hold my fork and knife properly. I may update this entry again just for the heck of it. For now, SOB I SHOULD DO SOME SCHOOL WORK (not).

Also:

What the eff, Threadless?  DAMN YOU FOR DOING THIS AFTER I BUY STUFF. ROAR. I would’ve whored my wallet out to you more if you had done that sooner.

…Whoops, I think I left Happy Feet at Jeannie’s house.

This meme is hard :(

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner 2

Mmmm…savings are delicious. I wonder if I should pre-order Devil Survivor. ATLUS’s print runs seem to vary a lot in terms of availability.
