Why the fuck is there radioactive material in my fire alarm?! I nearly ripped mine out of the fucking ceiling just now because I couldn't get it to stop going off and it was quarter to 6 in the morning. Usually I take the batteries out of them, but this one is hanging from the ceiling and though it says the top plate comes off, I couldn't get it off for the life of me, to the point where I was trying to wrench it open with a butter knife and crying from frustration. EDIT "Most smoke alarms use Americium-241 to detect smoke and hot air, thus triggering the alarm. Some gamma radiation is emitted by the smoke alarm but all the alpha radiation is blocked by the black box. Living for a year within 1 metre of a smoke alarm would give you a radiation dose of 1.5 millisievert per year, which is about 1/1000th of the radiation that we receive normally. If you held a smoke alarm in your hand then you would get a significant dose, but you're not going to do that are you? The Americum is chosen because of it's very high melting point (it's designed to work in a fire). Even in a house fire, the material will not melt and would not be a health hazard." - http://www.digitalspy.com/forums/showth And yes I realize I greatly increase the chances of my place burning down without one. |

I edited them with brightness and contrast in Ps.So that totally defeats the purpose of lomo-ing.They all look like badly taken photographs instead of lomography.But i now have a few subject matters in mind and i will keep shooting the same things until i get it right.The bakers.They stared at me weirdly the second time i went to snap instances of them kneading dough.I smiled sheepishly but they still looked stun.Whatever,i'll still continue going there until i get a good shot.
The original eww. Saw them selling Playmobils at Comics Con just now!Kind of nolstagic.My aunt used to play with them when she was a kid.She passed them down to me and my sister later on.Then when my little cousin was old enough to play with small toy parts without choking on them,we passed it on to him. I bought an astronaut and this BBQ-ing guy for aunt. And i just found out that the Central Singapore District Arts Festival 09 will be held from 6-28 Nov!Street performances!! :DD

got back a handful of grades, As for drawing and sculpture were really sweet but the B/B+ for writing bugs me because i'm not sure if it's something that can be remedied just by putting in more effort. oh well! in other news, i got little tipsy on halloween but it was on good stuff so that's not too bad. visiting upenn was interesting but i guess new york is still more of my kind of thing. thanks rach for putting me and my hilarity up 8DD i'm much better now, i don't know what came over me then. i got lost in the west village when i came back, i still don't know how that happened. i got out of the subway station and the west 8th street sign had disappeared. following my instincts (which are, by the way, always wrong) i picked a road and began walking in circles. around me policemen have blocked off the roads for the parade, and every cab i passed by was occupied. it began drizzling. names of familiar streets, waverly place, christopher street... kept teasing me into thinking i might possibly be getting closer to campus. i refused to take out the nft guide buried in my bag. after a while i got really tired of being the sole person in a jacket and a huge bag amidst a crowd of costumed people, though. it was fascinating at first, getting lost in the city, but after a while i decided i was ready to go home. then i fished my guide out and walked some more. i took a nice shower and watched xmen with katie, lauren and charles after we went out for some pizza. the next day i had brunch with julio, my neighbour, and did some work. i like getting work done because it rarely happens efficiently. :| then we went out for dinner and i bought some chicken wire which ended up useless anyway, so what a waste of money. this week julio is in mexico for his sister's wedding and i miss him :| but life goes on! on thursday my floor watched v for vendetta as a post-midterm event (lol i can has no midterms) and on friday tony (another neighbour) and i walked to the east river for a photo shoot for my photo class. we found a lovely pile of leaves. i love fall. (on wednesday night jesse and lizzie and i went walkabout and shooting as well, on the west side, and we kidnapped a lawn chair and that was nice too. it reminds me of the time mag and i were at the beach and found a trolley just sitting there like it was waiting for us.) then lauren&katie&charles&i went to try for the wicked lottery again but we didn't win so we tried for the next to normal lottery and won! we watched that, front row, and it was awesome. now i have a shirt that says "valium is my favourite colour", but i guess you need to have watched it to understand. yesterday i met up with louise, whom i made friends with at orientation and never saw again. we tried to go to max brennar but it was crowded as fuck so we went to a nice dim sum place tucked away in another street, and then to an organic tea cafe/restaurant for dessert. i am so glad we hung out! must make this a more regular thing. today i did a little shopping and am still debating on whether to spend 100+ on a pair of ed hardy boots. they are knee high, dark green, and are quite elegant for ed hardy (yes i am anticipating some derision) but they won't keep me too warm even though they have a lining of fur inside. if i buy that i'll still have to get some uggs to survive winter. how? :| good luck to all the juniors taking a levels, it won't be long before it's over <333 & love all of you guys even though i don't talk to you too often... lol@23hr/week schedule.

глупое это чувство очень, когда кажется, что вот-вот встретишь незнакомого знакомого на улице. такое реальное, что кажется, что среди людей обязательно мелькнет это чужое знакомое лицо. и вечером, а может быть даже через пять минут от перекрестка, ты получишь сообщение: "сегодня виделись". и вздрогнешь. тесный город. |

Наконец-то я могу опять сходить с ума, биться головой об стену, стоять на руках, петь сутками напролёт дурным и не очень голосом, сидеть на большом подоконнике, смотря на прохожих и думая о том, насколько сама себя загнала в клетку игр, в которые играют люди, в которые играю я.

Open letter to self: Dancing around your room while singing along horribly with Ring Ding Dong is conducive to neither studying nor room-cleaning. Take the hint, kid. Memo back to self: Yeah. But. Didn't the Manchu invade Korea in the Qing Dynasty? Or try to, or something? So it is somehow sort of related! It's practically studying! Textual yelling at self: OH MY GOD THAT IS ACTUALLY EVEN WORSE THAN WHEN YOU TRIED TO LEARN THE DANCE FROM JULIETTE AND CALLED IT PREP WORK FOR YOUR SHAKESPEARE ESSAY. AND THEN YOU FORGOT THE PARTS YOU LEARNED. lol study notes why won't you just write yourselves. *has an exam on Friday, whyyyyyy* ;_; I'm cleaning out my bookmarks, so have some potentially outdated news stories and random stuff! * Peace Maker Kurogane Gets TV Drama Series Green-Lit — Manga-based drama series are always aces in my books (especially if they're really bad!) but toss in Shinsengumi and I am freakin' SOLD. *_* * D-BOYS to make "CD debut" — This totally cracks me up: It will be released under the group name "D-BOYS (+ Yu Shirota!)" * Have Robert Pattinson in Your Bedroom Everynight!!!! — alskhdg MOST HILARIOUSLY CREEPY THING EVER. * Creepy: An Edward Cullen Shower Curtain — ASKDhgSDG AHAHAHA I STAND CORRECTED OBVIOUSLY THIS IS THE MOST HILARIOUSLY CREEPY THING EVER. I kind of want one. THINK OF THE POSSIBILITIES. * Sankaku: Male Seiyuu Become Sexy — I can't tell what's better about that article: that there are four guys that made both lists, or that there's a woman in the 'sexy' list. SAIGA MITSUKI: REVERSE TRAP! * ANN: Aoi Bungaku Series — It's harsh to judge without having seen it, but giving the information provided on it I am deeply disappointed, particularly in the Kokoro arc. It's given me very high expectations for the Sakura no Mori no Man arc, though; it was freaky and cracked out enough just as text, never mind handing it over to Araki Tetsuro. I anticipate very vivid nightmares after watching it. DON'T DISAPPOINT, ARAKI. YOU HAVEN'T YET. * ANN: King of Thorn — I have been stalking this page daily for months waiting for more information on it, and all they've added since its inception is the production company. IT HAS DEBUTED AT INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVALS. WHY WON'T THEY RELEASE THE CAST? OR AT LEAST A TRAILER WITH SOME DIALOGUE! *IN DESPAIR* Okay okay I'll go work on my study notes now. *pout*
