(3:54 pm PT) - Dear Axia...
[link] - (cynical)
While I can understand the desire to
force students to using only scholarly journals, it would have been in both your best interest and mine if this had been put into the syllabus
before I ever thought of persuing this topic for research, (which, mind you, one of your instructors suggested to me). Instead, the questionable instructor throws out research restrictions that have greatly hindered my finds only one week before a given assignment is due. Does this sound like the practice of a sane academic program? Remember, you sold yourself on flexibility. This is hardly flexible. In fact, it's ridiculous. At the very least, when a student suggests a topic, tell them beforehand to search the db and see how many results they get. If they say very little, suggest another topic then and there.
Though really, considering I handed in a research plan that clearly outlined what I was planning to do, the instructor should have told me
at that time what the expected research requirements would be. Obviously, despite the research plan being an assignment, she didn't
read it.
I'm just wondering if I can build a case based on that against either the instructor or the school.
Screw it, I'm going to drink some lemonade... from a wineglass.
Randomly...
Raine... ::GLOMP:: I've missed yoooooouuuu...

I'm now nearing the end of volume 5, which leaves one more volume to go with Spiral. And I'm getting annoyed at a couple of things. First, it's getting near the end, and still they have
yet to explain what the
hell is the exact nature of the Blade Children. Two, the obviousness about Kanone. Speaking of which, he's an asshole. A true, unmitigated asshole, and so is the police commisioner, but that's another story. And his sister-in-law had a true bitch moment I'd like to slap her about, but... grr, the whole thing is starting to irk me because some parts of it are so obvious, that I feel I, as the viewer, am being insulted. Finally, Kanone's accent is making me grind my teeth. I had to turn on subtitles on the dub audio just to know what the hell he's saying.
So, first four volumes, okay. Volume five, annoying me to no end.
Speaking of annoyances, I'm trying to incorporate a comment feed, but of course the damn thing doesn't want to work right. ::grinds teeth some more::
Last annoyance, my CRT instructor. He gives me full marks on a paper, then turns around and makes some inane comments that really have no bearing on the paper at all. Are
all critical thinking instructors severely anal retentive?
Kalli: Ah ha ha ha... did I get you hooked on Soul Hunter? ::tries to look innocent::
Well time for the last volume, and damnit, I'd better get some satisfactory resolution or I will not be a happy camper.

(7:40 am PT) - Happy Holidays does not kill Merry Christmas
[link] - (cynical)
I recently joined what was supposed to be a gift-making ideas list, for I'm craftsy and cheap. Unfortunately, it's anything but, as so far I've seen nothing but scams, rebuttals to scams, and the political discussion of "Happy Holidays" versus "Merry Christmas".
The political debate is truly wearing on my nerves, because the oh so holy Christians there don't see what they're doing. They're crying foul because other people are saying "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas." Just to post part of what started this whole fiasco...
I have found a way that has worked so far in getting a Merry Christmas out of people. Lately whenever someone says "Happy Holidays" to me - - I have said " Oh - what holiday is it". When they reply "Christmas" I have said "Well you really meant Merry Christmas then didn't you."
Can we get any more arrogant than this? I would love to meet this person and break their face by telling them that I say Happy Holidays because I don't know what
they're celebrating, and that's what it boils down to. With so many holidays converging in this month, one doesn't know who's celebrating what. One person did call this egomaniac on their method, however, to which I'm mildy happy about.
As I see it, I'll gladly accept any well-wishes someone gives me, regardless of which holiday they're thinking of when they say 'Happy Holidays'. I could never be so rude as to respond to someone who is wishing me well by letting them know that they should have phrased their greeting differently.
Emphasis on the rude part, but I digress. I'm not going to join in, because it's obviously pointless, but it should be noted to these people that nobody is forcing
them to say "Happy Holidays". They can give whatever greeting they wish. But they seem to feel that they have the right to force
others to say "Merry Christmas". I say this in regards to a post that responded to the one just quoted above, in which the poster says,
A Politically correct way to celebrate your holiday is to celebrate it the way we want and believe. I am a Christain so and for millions of Christains, we will celebrate this Wonderful Holiday the Birthday of Our Lord Jesus Christ... with MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL. Now if your or your friend celebrate another type of culture... do so, You have that priviledge but don't take from me - the joy of Celebrating the way I want to
The previous quote said nothing about taking anyone's rights away. In fact, all the rebuttals to those insisting people say "Merry Christmas" have never said
they couldn't say it, only why they shouldn't
insist for others to do so. And to that, I agree. If I want to say "Merry Christmas", "Happy Holidays", "Happy Chanukah", "Cooly Kwanza", or whatever,
that is my right. What I do not have the right to do is
force someone else to give the greeting
I want to
hear.
Personally, my favourite holiday greeting to strangers is "piss off and die," but that's just me. Though I think I'm going to just go for the standard "Merry Consumer Month".

(5:25 pm PT) - Apparently I'm cursed
[link] - (cynical)
I had this "fifthy thousand" mini shindy all planned for myself. I was even gong to log onto AIM in mass and try and juggle windows if anyone wanted to talk. MSN, too. I had cake, I had whipped cream, (coudn't hire the guy to eat them off of, but oh well). Life was good.
That was around noon today.
At roughly 2-3, mom gets a call.
My sister decides she wants to visit. You know, THAT sister. The bitch who hasn't bothered speaking to anyone for well over a year, saying everyone "brought out the worst in her." Nevermind that she's the one who pushed everyone away. Nevermind that she's the one who made life a living hell for those 21 years I had to live with her. But I digress. When she claims everyone brings out her worst, I will never in fact refer to myself, simply because at the time she said it,
I had ceased any and all communication for 2-3 years myself. How can someone who doesn't talk to you have an effect on your life, unless you just can't let go. But, I'm rambling again.
To top it all off, roughly an hour ago, M-unit and B-unit leave with Evil-unit to go over to granny-unit. (Not my unit, that one. It's a branch of the Evil-unit.) I try to sleep for lack of energy. (Just being that close to her zaps my strength.) And what happens? I'm getting phonecall after phonecall from M-unit telling me what to tell my S-unit when she gets here. But wait, my younger sister doesn't like walking up the stairs, and will just honk and wait for the M-unit to come down. So yes, me who had been wearing nothing but her exercise shorts and a bra must now wake up, throw something on, and tromp down there to deliver a message that M-unit should've just called the S-unit directly and told her without making me the middle man.
There was no joy in LN's room, tonight. Tried to explain to M-unit the signifiance of NaNo and crossing 50k, but was suitably brushed off. Grated, I don't try very hard about getting her opinion or attention on anything I do. There's no point. I'm surprised she said she hopes I can go somewhere with the whole Uni of Phoenix thing. I wonder if she realises that if I can do that, I'm so out of here. ::shrugs::
Tomorrow, I start going over a list of all the things I neglected during NaNo.

Monday, November 21, 2005
(7:40 am PT) - oops
[link] - (cynical)
Forgot my Sunday post. Oh well.
SNAFU anyway.
I'm closing in on the 50k mark. I think I have 8k left. I want to hopefully get through the party and end with Leliues living with them for the time being, but sometimes I let things distract me. I'm going to try very hard to at least
start the party tonight. I think that can carry me through the 23rd at least, and ending on the 24th, since I don't have enough drive to go beyond 50k with this.
In other news, I'm out well over 200 dollars this month. I am not very happy with my family at the moment.
Trying to apply to U. of Phoenix. Only some of the forms have to be faxed, and I don't have this thing hooked up for faxing. (Not like I can make toll calls, either, there's a lock on the phone because M-unit and S-unit don't realise they live too far away. Hence why there's now a phone bill with my name on it that's got freakin' tripple digits on it.)
Someone explain just why middle children get screwed over so completely?
I'm going to call the UofP conselor today and see if there's an alternative to faxing. I want in. I'll take the stupid loan, (and use Pell to pay it back if I can get it), and hopefully I can do something to change my situation for the better.
Changing topics, Curse of Darkness owns my soul, and Hector remidns me of just why I love Crispin Freeman so. Although it does make me want to go back and play my Slayers tapes... and write Slayers fics... or finish those I haven't. I'd actually like to revive the Z/G list, but don't know how, and I think everyone's pretty much moved on to other fandoms. ::le sigh::
I just realised why this year's NaNo fic sucked IMO. I kept asking certain parties to get me coffee, Irish Cream or Hazelnut. They never did. When I first wrote NaNo in '02, no coffee, story sucked. '03, coffee, decent story. '04, lots of coffee, good story. I think it's safe to conclude that I need a certain level of caffeine in my system to improve the quality of my NaNo story. Even though I'm near the end, I'm going to try and get the coffee myself today.
Soon as I'm done with NaNo, I tend to any business I neglected during NaNo, go over the fics at Yville with Kalli, then jump on the Xmas thing. Urk. Want a vacation.

[link] - (cynical)
I'm sorry. I've seen some
really bad summaries over at FF, but this has to take the cake for the Saiyuki fandom.
Hakuryuu is a dragon, right? WRONG! In reality, she's an cursed itan girl, and she's falling in love with her master...
Yeah, we'll just ignore the fact that Hakuryuu is a male dragon, in Gaiden has a humanoid form, has I believe the Western lands under his doman, and works under Tenpo or however that's spelled, (too lazy to look it up). Oh, and let's not forget when a pronoun is used to refer to him, (least in the dubs), it's usually "he".
Cripes, we've been wrong all this time.
Remind me to get some smileys on Locuran, because if ever I needed an eye-rolling emoticon, now would be it.
::goes to walk and hopefully get bad summaries out of brain:: Brain bleach needed.
(6:58 am PT) - AFF having FF tendencies
[link] - (cynical)
I can't say I agree with the timeframe of this at
all. Basically, AFF is now saying
all stories must have some sort of do not own/non-profit disclaimer. But here's the catch. It must be done by October 31. With an archive that size, and people generally forgetting about older fics,
and not having every single author being on the ML or checking AFF that often, there's no way in hell all fics missing a disclaimer will have one in only a month's time. AFF is
huge, exploding a bit after the semi-exodus from FF. So they really should've been more considerate/reasonable and make that at least a three month venture.
Personally, I prefer the method at yaoiville. I have a blanket disclaimer stated on the frontpage.

(10:15 am PT) - Enough's enough
[link] - (cynical / sore)
I'm certain a few of you are familiar with about.com, which has an 'about' page for nearly every subject under the sun. Well I subscribe to the about wiccan/pagan announcement lists, just to learn about key ponits and things that I probably won't be able to on my own.
So why is it
this article about Harry Potter popped up today?
Okay, I've had enough. It's a book. It's no different from many other fantasy books,
really. It's a form of escapism meant to take the reader away from the real world for awhile, and experience a world as created by the writer.
That's
it.
Don't bother explaining to me the intricate web of relationships going on, because I'll counter with the same of any other fantasy book I've read in the past. There's just no reason for this much sensationalism far as I can tell. It makes no sense.
And no, I'm not an HP hater, but neither am I a fan. I've read none of the books, seen none of the movies, have never
once thought about writing an HP fic, and trust me, none of that will change while I breathe. ...unless a large amount of money becomes involved.
What? Like none of you wouldn't change your mind for the right price.
Now with that out of my system, I need help. I came across, (maybe in someone's journal), a series of fantasy books about cat clans/tribes or something of the like. They looked like everyday house cats, but I know the names followed a specific formula, and they talked, (naturally, it's fantasy). I was curious and planned to get the first one, but I've since lost the link and don't know the author or the title. Anyone know of anything that might sound like this?

DMC3: 14 down, 6 to go, then an upchuck and return to KH: CoM, if I don't drop and get Musashi first.
Really, Capcom, those action sequences are 1. too numerous; and 2. too over the top. Honestly, the poolballs, the bullet scene with Vergil, and the latest, using a motorcycle as a weapon. And the bit between Arkham and Jester, cliche. Ditto Arkham and "Mary". Unlike DMC and DMC2, the latter of which I'll probably play
immediately once I'm done with this, I doubt if I go for a repeat visit. In fact, if I didn't have such a packrat compulsion about wanting to keep everything I buy, especially if it's in a set, this game would be resold after I'm done. So, you have 6 missions left to change my mind. I don't have much hope for you.

My dentist rescheduled me. I was supposed to go in today for a root canal. He wants me in Thursday. I want to now reschedule for Tuesday. I'm not sure. Should I just get it over with or psych myself up again as I
had before he changed up on me?
There's a "guess my favourite character" meme floating around LJ. The reason I don't actually try it is because I don't think anyone (save perhaps
Mirchan)
could guess my favourites, not unless I just use all really painfully obvious series, and where's the fun in that?
DMC3, secret mission 4. Dear Capcom, what the
hell is your problem? Really, secret mission 3 was bad enough, now you've just lost your damn mind. I swear I'm ready to toss this game or worse, trade it in and get Musashi. Pricks.
Though admittedly,
despite the game, I'm enjoying taking time to play
any game, something I haven't had a good chance to do in awhile. I'd hate to get rusty, after all.
Ending randomly, have I mentioned I envy Kit's ability to

(3:37 pm PT) - More DMC3 bellyachin'
[link] - (cynical)
Dear Capcom,
And I quote from the original DMC,
"You're the man who lost a mother and a brother to evil twenty years ago, the son of the Legendary Dark Knight Sparda, Mr. Dante."
Mother
and brother, twenty years ago. So what you're telling me is, for DMC3 to make
sense, Dante's 39 in DMC, and in DMC3, they lost their mother inside a year before the events took place. Oh, and let's not forget that in DMC3 you're claiming that Sparda disappeared well before the twins were even born.
Listen carefully, plotholes are
bad. They get you mocked. Mock mock mockity mock. They hurt players brains, (at least those of us players who
aren't bedazzled with the effects to realise just how poorly scripted the plot
is).
It's just irritating to think this could possibly make you money, while a perfectly good game as DMC2 with a woman who looked like a woman, and not either a zipper turned sideways or had a face like ten miles of bad road, gets blasted.
Then again, maybe I'm complaining to the wrong source. Obviously, I'm just giving the average/general playing consumers too much credit.
Truly, I am. After all, a nice, cerebral game like Shadow of Destiny hardly makes a ripple. And I won't get into the tragedy of LoK: Defiance.
Gah.

(1:33 pm PT) - Hn, only thing they have is persistance
[link] - (cynical)
So
now the supposed deal is two of those genetic accidents are supposed to come over here to visit me. (Considering I'm the oldest, shouldn't it have gone that route any fucking way?) Once again the agreed time was 1pm. Then I get a call before 1, saying something's come up and it might not be 1pm as planned, and for me to call him back. Well we don't have call interrupt at the moment, (phone bill is fat, needs to go on a diet), so the message centre picked it up. I did my duty and returned the call, but
his message centre picked up. I left the message saying we can hear the phone now, and call back whenever. That happened before noon. It's going onto 1:30, and no return call.
This is me, planning on not taking any more calls, because more than anything, I'm sick and tired of being told how "we're family, and we should connect." The guy himself admitted he's not over being neglected/abandoned by the sperm-donor, though I know he's in his twenties now. Well, I'm going to thirty, and I've been over it for a good decade now, if not more. I don't need to connect, and I can't help anyone's feelings of abandonment. I have my family, and as long as my comp loves me the most, I'm happy.
I have the time and date for the service, though honestly, I can't say whether I'll go or not. My intentions are still far below noble.
After the serrvice, I'm making it a point of not taking any more calls, period. Actually, if today pitters out the way I'm hoping it will, I'm not taking any then, either. And I'll be their snobbish bitch, but least I'll be left alone,
finally.
Now, I'm going to change the frontpage at yaoiville.org, then look into this nifty php rpg. Then work on my tarot deck.

You know what kind of fic I'm getting

it's so over done. Grah!
The final straw was seeing it in the
Wolf's Rain section. Give me a break, they're
wolves. What, you're supposed to see Hige in wolf form sitting at a desk?
I don't have a problem with AUs. Not even far out, cracked out, no resemblence to the original whatsoever AUs. But I'm tired of
this particular AU. Cliched doesn't begin to describe it.

To all those who might think I'm picking on religious in general or christianity in particular, I'm not. I'm picking on the people. Or rather, pick-choosers. Someone said it at the BSGslash ML, and I'll just quote them here.
"I just love cafeteria style religious types, picking and choosing the words that fit their prejudice. But, mention the rest of the laws and they just act like you're being silly. Only the ones that align with their views are still in force."
So yes, I have issues. If you want me to follow the letter of the word, then we may as well follow all of it, word for word, no questions asked. So someone says one part's opened for interpretation? Well then, it should
all be opened to interpretation.

(6:11 pm PT) - Just to note...
[link] - (cynical)
I'm still battling the Red Infantry, but I felt a need to post this.
Any emotional disorder/illness, including but not limited to: depression, mania, ADHD, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, schizophrenia, paranoia, anxiety (social or otherwise), et cetera, is not, repeat,
NOT an
excuse for a fucked up personality. Said fucked-up personality may be a
sympton, but, being as I am a diagnosed bipolar sufferer, I can honestly say that does not give me the right to push my bad or unstable emotions off on anyone, then toss out the glib excuse of it being the fault of my disorder without so much as an apology or an explanation as to what is going on. Anyone who thinks, says, or feels otherwise is
wrong.
Now I
do warn. For example I have a great system with my family that, when my cycle comes around, I go to the mother unit and just tell her to "put the house on alert." After confirming that it is in fact my cycle, she does just that. What this means to the others is, my hormones
are off kilter, moreso than normal, and to try an tread lightly, because my reaction cannot be predicted at this time. And it works for the most part.
But to just be a complete and utter bitch/bastard and blame it on the disorder, as though people are
supposed to accept that and move on, no. None of the
diagnosed people I've met (I have to emphasize that, believe me) do such a thing. There's therapy, medication, identification of possible triggers, emotional management, the list goes on and on. For me, I've opted for therapy and medication. There is no known cure for my condition, but with these things, I can at least control it. I'm not going to make people around me suffer from my problems, whether directly or no.
It's called consideration, another dying art.

Look, everyone, an

this notice that's been there since the dawn of time, or at least the dawn of this journal. Watch how they defend that which they don't understand. Behold the use of Arabs versus Iraqi, thereby lumping all people of a particular sect together regardless of location.
My eyes, I can't see, for I'm blinded by the light bestowed by this sheer idiocy.
Join me people, in praising the new way. We shall all become one with the Supreme Stupid, who will cleanse us of our sins and tell us which path we should follow.
Hey, preacherman, tell me, if we don't get our oil from Iraq, why are the gas prices still going up? Surely you in your great wisdom and acute powers of observation can plainly see the answer to that one.
And please tell me why is it the vote count was never truly sorted out in the initial election? Why was Florida having such a hard time getting those votes counted, a state that Bush had
family in?
Why is it that the Towers fell in the first place, when Gore himself had a plan set to
increase airport security?
Why is it the economy is at an all time low, and has been getting worse since Bush stepped into office?
Why is it his home policies are either nonexistent or just more plans to dig for that good ol' oil we so desperately (don't) need?
Surely you, with your infinite knowledge, can answer such mundane questions...
...without using a swear word.
Please, oh omniscient one, enlighten us poor heathens.
Oh, but wait, you didn't leave any way to contact you, now did you? What a shame. One would think you were cowardly and afraid of facing your disciples. Surely
that couldn't be it, now could it.
I suppose I should at least be grateful, you spelled out all your words. Your grammar teacher would be very proud of you.

Ahoy there, matey, I've an

Okay, if anyone knows more facts than I do (like names and locations, that would be NICE), please tell me. Because frankly, this sounds more like our

Wake UP, America. All of you who didn't vote in the last election, this is your fault as well. By not voting
against Bush, it is the equivalent to voting
for him. Oh yes, and those of you who complain about going to the voting booths, look on the back of your next sample ballot. That's right,
you can do it by mail. You can vote and never leave the comfort of your living room.
Of course, it's probably too late, and the end of the world is just around the corner. But if I get stuck with anther four years of this moron, I'm going to re-enact the escape trails of days gone by and smuggle myself and anyone who wants to come along into Canada.
