I forgot both my medication and my USB stick today. I am left not writing, not working on my website, and not even doing school work. My only outlet is online chess. By the time the week is over, I will not have this issue anymore.

My only hope: my iPod. Everyone needs to listen to gurugurueigakan, the best punk-rock band to ever exist. God... why is there not more of them...

I went out to buy microfiber cloths (which I spent a long time deciding on just to buy the home brand), and as a bonus, scored a nice bag large enough to hold even my 14-inch iBook with much room to spare for only $5!

I plan on getting a nice shoulder strap for the bag and affixing lots of pins and keychains and so on to it in the future. Maybe I could even put my fabric paint to use... I don't trust in the quality of the material, but if things break, it's simply my job to repair it. ;-)

じゃあね... I'll spend tonight drinking with my girlfriend! After all, it's Valentine's.

I'm really tired today. Really, really, really tired.

I set up portable installs on my USB for my own purposes. I'm gonna have to talk about these in an article soon... ha, ha. The idea is that I'll be able to work on my own projects using any public Windows PC if they aren't so locked down that mere .exe files are banned.

I'm tired, but really, I'm dadadadada-dadada motto satisfied~... Ha. As if many of you would get that one.

My girlfriend bought a copy of Sengoku Rance. Naturally, this means I get to play it too, bumming off her...

It's really fun. Like, I didn't know what the gameplay would be like beforehand, but it's everything I like about strategy-war games, plus combat that's slightly similar to Devil Survivor. Plus you can have sex with cute girls.

I'm terrible at it, I need to restart my save, but I'm hooked...

Today was, and still is for the next two hours, my orientation for my new course. It's a library course. As expected, many women--this is good! Less expected, a large chunk of men. I thought I might be in a very small minority.

After introducing myself to several interesting looking people I got some comments on my name being unique. It is merely a very European name, but in no way unique... I got complements on my piercings and outfit though, hehe.

After all this, I'm going to Daiso on the way home! I have willed it, so it will happen.

On an unrelated note I bought some new clothes from Taobao a few days ago and arranged for shipment to Australia today. I'm looking forward to it~ I'm greedy and want to be cute at school

Recently I walk and I walk... for hours and hours...

Yesterday it was 3 hours and 45 minutes. I walked 16.5 kilometers and it was amazing. It also entirely exhausting but I walked back far less damaged than the first time I did this route; in fact, the first time I did this route, I got the bus back home.

You might say, that isn't a bad addiction to have. I guess I agree with you in the end but I spend all day doing nothing just to get all my energy out during the night. I can't really sleep afterwards either, so it's not a sleep aid.

But God is it great to walk!

As expected,
it's a panda calendar. My collection continues to grow, relatively dangerously. I also got a panda tote bag to use at school.
Tomorrow I want to search the local thrift stores for even more pandas.

I've decided to start properly exercising every day. I got some app to give me shit to do each day, but the words "I installed an app" calling out of my mouth are disgusting lol.
I'm also doing shoulder exercises separately, and various stretches before bed, both for my posture.

I won't call any of this a new year's resolution. The plan is to set habits for my whole life... I just happened to start doing this in January lol

The past few weeks have been complicated. I'm looking forward to the new year, and especially for tomorrow night, when the timer ticks over and suddenly...suddenly...the new year will have hit us all.

Us all here in Australia, anyway.

Well, today's slow and boring. My eyes are very tired. I need to practice staying up tonight too, else I fall asleep early for the New Year! That would be terrible.

I hope you are well. I've been mindlessly sketching today.

My daily routine lately consists of waking up at 6AM, trying not to cry from how poor my sleep is, having tea in the morning and then retreating right back to my room.
I sit on my computer all day without doing anything, move to my bed to text people and similarly do nothing, then move back to my computer.
The only thing I do with much worth all day is constantly text my girlfriend, watching movies and playing games in the evening, but I fall asleep long before her thanks to the aforementioned poor sleep. It's not good of me.

On a good day I'll apply for jobs and go on a walk. I have not spent time with my friends in a long while due to various circumstances. Until study starts in January, I'm stuck in place. My entire life so far seems to consist of waiting for things to happen.

At least I'm doing something for Christmas!

Thanks for everything, Maya.

For the longest time, I have wanted an Apple iBook, particularly a G4. I think the sleek, boxy design & beautiful white colour makes it one of the most beautiful laptop computers Apple has ever made.

Now, I've got no idea what to name her. She's massive, and I have a lot of software I already plan on installing her, but the matter of names evades me. If you know me, you know I value every computer personally, and as such... I'm sentimental enough to give them names.

The SSD is a little small but that's the least of my worries.

Did you know that these things come with built-in Apache web servers? I don't plan on keeping her as a server, but it's curious. I never knew this. This is the first Apple computer I've ever owned, actually.

I can't wait to play. It look like Jumbo can't, either...
