Shake it like Shakespeare.

BEFORE ALL ELSE:

[livejournal.com profile] kitsune_jade, your birthday is coming up. Please compile a list of prompts/characters/pairings/ideas that you'd like me to write as a part of your birthday gift. You have 28 drabbles, give or take a few according to a length. And sorry, no, I don't think I'll be able to do your crossovers. ^_^;

ALSO!


Answer this meme if you ♥♥♥ me!





Slow, slow day at the office... I spent it mooching off the bandwidth fixing the files that were dumped on me last week. Nothing new went up, but once everything is fixed, it'll be busy again. Of course, the REAL highlight was the internet connection itself down there - my torrents were fucking wild. I must've downloaded at least 20 80-350 MB files while I was there today. I wish my connection at home was that snazzy. D:

There was also that short but nice conversation I had with [livejournal.com profile] laurgasm, prompted by one of her posts on Twitter. See, apparently, this chick made it on national television for... and drumroll please:

For keeping a "paper journal". Aka, notebook. Aka, doing the remarkable thing of writing with a pen and paper in this fast-paced, modernized world.

Oh, Philippines. You have reached a whole new level of illiteracy.

That said. How's about somebody pay ME big bucks for scribbling in my notebooks? Maybe somebody should make a Pinky of me while they're at it. :D




Going back to ADMU tomorrow.

DO NOT WANT!!!111oneoneone

Okay, so maybe I'm not THAT averse to trudging back on campus, given the fact that I kinda sorta have to. I'm still missing that last recommendation letter, and this is my only real chance to submit my requirements since I'll be in Batanes from Friday until Monday. There's also that small issue of submitting my application to the ADMU English Department. *crosses her fingers* [livejournal.com profile] pyrosinferno has given me a lot of support and tips in that direction, but who knows what'll happen, right? I'll just have to hope for the best. B|




Band of the moment: 65daystofstatic. They sound like the love child of Bloc Party, Mogwai and the Mars Volta. I haven't been this into an instrumental band since... well, since a long way back.

For serious. With titles like "Welcome to the Times", "Aren't We Still Running?", "Drove Through Ghosts to Get Here" and "I Swallowed Hard, Like I Understood", how can you go wrong?

What's funny about this band is that I discovered them through rabid downloading of KHR fan soundtracks.




Not so randomly: Paolo hung around the office today.

We're living in the same house, and we'll probably end up studying on the same campus. Now, even my work place isn't safe.

Our paths have crossed far too much for comfort lately.

:< If we got paid for every time we type something down, I think you and I will be richer than Bill Gates. Although if it's on paper... Ah, well, you can buy all your gadgets in a month. B|

SEE THE INJUSTICE OF IT? A PS3 IN A MONTH. A FUCKING MONTH.

Hay, Pinoys.

[identity profile] yukitsu.livejournal.com 2008-04-22 01:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Btw, someone's selling a PS3 for 18k somewhere. 40HD, I think. XD In a few months, it will be really cheap!

[identity profile] izkariote.livejournal.com 2008-04-22 01:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm actually half-considering ordering it online and having one of my relatives bring it over when they fly down here. It's a lot cheaper in the USA, AND they have promos. @_@

[identity profile] laurgasm.livejournal.com 2008-04-22 01:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Whoa. I am in love with your LJ layout. :D

Also, 65 Days of Static is reaaally trippy. I can see how they made their way into fan soundtracks. :D Another instrumental band I really like is Explosions in the Sky, but they're more on the mellow, dramatic side. They're great for listening to before going to bed though.^^

Isn't it cute? I totally didn't do the coding, but I did have to tweak a few things to add the header and get the look I wanted. ♥

Explosions in the Sky... yeah, I've heard a few tracks from them. I totally agree with you. @ night listening. X3

[identity profile] girl-blunder.livejournal.com 2008-04-22 03:10 pm (UTC)(link)
WHAT. A paper journal? Not even made of leaves and written on using twigs? -_-'

[identity profile] izkariote.livejournal.com 2008-04-23 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
NOT EVEN. IT'S A FRAKKING NOTEBOOK. YOU KNOW. THE KIND YOU AND I USE.

Apparently, the story goes something like this: the media people caught her on camera, writing in a notebook near some busy street.

...Yeah, I don't get it either. >_>

lol i wish it were that easy to earn USd 300 XD

Oi, oi: I think I'd make a perfectly cute Pinky. I've got nice boobs and a good butt, or one. >D

[identity profile] psychoshoujo.livejournal.com 2008-04-23 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
So, those stupid doodles I make while I think are actually worth something?

Oh come on, last I checked there were a lot of notebooks to choose from at national bookstore!

[identity profile] izkariote.livejournal.com 2008-04-23 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
Well, do recall that idiot who extorted a postcard from Litsoc for a measly ballpoint pen rendition of Dream from Gaiman's Sandman. Apparently, you and I could spit on a piece of paper and attempt to sell it and ACTUALLY have a chance at making money. o_o

[identity profile] psychoshoujo.livejournal.com 2008-04-23 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
Oh god, THAT.
Well now, nice to know that tissue catching my runny nose will probably be worth something monetary. xD

[identity profile] izkariote.livejournal.com 2008-04-23 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
WE SHOULD START COLLECTING. LIKE, NOW. BODY FLUIDS FTW. :D

[identity profile] kitsune-jade.livejournal.com 2008-04-24 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
Yay! Uhm, I'll start compiling them now. *sniffs* No crossovers? XD

Ah well, that is fine.

Also, if someone would pay me to write my goddamn Afhasgjjjkkll!! day at work on paper, I would certainly do that. But why? Is it so rare to see people write on journals now? O__O

[identity profile] izkariote.livejournal.com 2008-04-24 10:31 am (UTC)(link)
You COULD try to ask, but I doubt I'll have the brain power for them, given the fact that I'll be doing 28 pieces for you. XD

But why? Is it so rare to see people write on journals now? O__O

I'm inclined to say yes, but I really think it's just the media being small-minded and stupid. >_>

>_> What's he doing in the office?

Also, I scrolled down and saw the shot of the newspaper and immediately closed the window @ that girl's blogging being news material.

[identity profile] izkariote.livejournal.com 2008-04-28 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
Idk, he did his essay for ADMU grad studies, I think. ...And there's a lot more to that story now, but I'll just tell you in person. :o

INORITE IT'S SO STUPID. It's like we're living in the Stone Age, or something. >_> @ blogger girl.

[identity profile] kye-kestrel.livejournal.com 2008-05-02 02:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, I do manual blogging all the time on scraps of paper. WHY DON'T I GET PICKED UP BY NEWS CREWS??
