Editorials

I really hate homework assignments that involve your real-life interests. We’re supposed to write an editorial about something “that I am passionate about”, but the only things I can think of would probably sound really stupid. And since when am I passionate about anything? Not that often, actually. Unless it comes to making flashes, but it’s not like I’m going to write an editorial about flash-making (Flash-making… like, what’s the deal with that?). I won’t be working on a daily flash today unless I can write three paragraphs about something (Coincidentally, this blog post is three “paragraphs” long), which may actually take me awhile because I don’t really care much about anything that would sound interesting for an editorial.

In other news, SAT prep went by pretty quickly, actually. It’s probably because we took two drills (math and reading), which took up about an hour combined. In the end, the instructor ended up teaching us how to read Korean, and I actually learned quite a bit. I never knew that the different parts of Korean characters had specific pronunciations.

The thing is, the instructor is not Korean, he’s a white guy from Seattle. He’s a really interesting person, who has done and seen a lot of interesting things, and always has these really neat and funny stories to tell. When the SATs are over, most of this knowledge about what to do on the test will become useless (unless I’m not satisfied with my grade and I decide to take it again), but these stories will be what I get out of this course in the end. Good times… good times. We have like one more week left, and then I’ll be taking the SATs on December 1st.

Sports Day (and Momizi)


Added Momizi and some stuff to create.swf!

Hooray! In other [completely unrelated] news, today was sports day at school, and I got to miss four of my five classes of the day. Which is always awesome. Every year on sports day, seniors tend to have some sort of “theme” in their clothes besides just having matching colors, and this year I actually thought it was kinda clever. They dressed up as Spartan warriors from the movie 300, with the spears, swords, helmets, capes, and all that stuff. They also had a logo that resembled the “300” logo but with “008” (They graduate in 2008) and put them up all over the place, but like every year, they ended up getting ripped and tossed to the ground. Apparently the seniors won, and I think there must be some sort of conspiracy or something, because I think seniors always win. But then again, it doesn’t really matter, since I don’t actually remember the results of previous sports days. And yeah, that’s it. Nice waste of time, though.

Problems

Okay, so a few hours ago I thought I’d have nothing interesting to say because I didn’t expect anything of interest to happen to me today. Apparently I was wrong. First off, when I got into the train station to go to my apartment, I used my student metrocard, and there were some cops nearby, and they were all “YOU KNOW YOU’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO USE THIS WHEN YOU DON’T HAVE SCHOOL, RIGHT?!?” and then they wrote up some sort of ticket… I dunno.

It was pretty bad because it took like ten minutes and a few trains had already passed. And the fact that one ride is only about two dollars. My dad was like “why don’t I just go back and swipe a regular metrocard?” but the police lady was all “NO IT’S TOO LATE NOW.” Sucks. I saw another police officer stop this girl because she used her student metrocard, and all he said was “Just know you’re not supposed to use this when you don’t have school” and let her go. Geez, why did I get stuck with the unforgiving cop? I’ll probably be sentenced to imprisonment followed with death by Yuyuko.

Perfunctory

  • per·func·to·ry (adj)
  1. performed merely as a routine duty; hasty and superficial: perfunctory courtesy.
  2. lacking interest, care, or enthusiasm; indifferent or apathetic: In his lectures he reveals himself to be merely a perfunctory speaker.

According to dictionary.com, anyway. This blog entry falls under the first definition. I didn’t really have much time to do anything today, what with SAT prep and all. Bleh. No school on Monday, hooray!

【3D】 ミク☆すた 【初音ミク】

Here’s the Lucky Star OP featuring VOCALOID series, because I don’t have anything to make a flash about today (due to the fact that I had no school). However, I made a lot of progress on the next flash, and I think the hard part is done. It’s seriously awesome! Unfortunately, I have SAT prep tomorrow, and I think I have it on Friday as well, so I won’t have much time to do anything for the next few days.
