sub_dividedBreak has thus far consisted of: family, snow, three identical hams, reading, wanting to write, avoiding phone calls, and video games. Fuller account here, written after reading one too many Marquez novellas ahaha. Tommorow I go to spend gift certificates on books, and Friday who knows? Maybe I'll see if C or A are around. Maybe I'll call N and we'll go with V to visit O. Or F. Maybe NYC. Maybe alphabet soup. Maybe I'll go window-shopping with my mother before Macy's takes down the holiday decorations that have been up since September.
All I know is, The Demon Ororon is awesome and I'm the biggest geek in a non-geek family. (Alex doesn't count because two isn't enough to establish a trend. Although he is a geek. My New Year's Resolution is ten minutes of calistenics every day before bed; his is to finally order the soundtrack to Tenjou Tenge. ("Almost every single day I think about ordering it but for some reason I never do. Arg!"))
Excerpt from a conversation on the 26th:
Them: What do your parents do for a living?
Me: Lawyers
Them: Both of them?
Me: ...Yes.
Not that this is particularly noteworthy, but it reminded me of that scene in Hunter x Hunter where Gon and Killua are talking on the airship. The one where Gon isn't surprised that Killua's parents are assasins? Yes, I know, geek. Lawyers aren't nearly as cool as assassins anyway, even though I think that sometimes the conotations are the same, ie, negative. I almost got my dad one of those "200 Best Lawyer Jokes" books for Christmas before I came to my senses and got him an almanac instead.
Does "existentialist crisis" qualify as a legitimate reason to want to do summer reaserch? Because I'm filling out these short-answer forms for the application, see, and the best I can come up with is "hire me so I'll finally know whether or not I really want to be a scientist."
On the eathquakes and subsequent flooding: it's just stupifying, the amount of damage that's been done. And if I see one more TV special about unlucky-but-miraculously-alive American tourists I'm going to scream. What about all the, you know, people who actually lived there, and who actually died? Ugh.
