Consecutive Numbers

Well I guess it’s actually more about having times/dates that have an interesting combination of numbers. Though most of the time I just notice when it’s consecutive, like 12:34, or when they’re all the same, like 11:11 or the upcoming 9/9/09 (Or to make it look nicer, 09/09/09). That also reminds me that date structures (or whatever they’re called) can get confusing sometimes, especially online, because it’s not always MM/DD/YY, which is what I’m used to. More confusing if the day and month (and also the year, if it’s two digits) are both below 12, and I don’t know which one is the month and which is the day. And yeah.

Buying Used Stuff

I don’t really buy used stuff that often, and my reasoning is similar to Headphones Character’s. The only times I can remember buying something used would be for books that aren’t available at libraries (such as textbooks).

Though recently I bought a used textbook online and it had the name of a library imprinted on the pages and some numbered labels on the spine, with some poorly-ripped labels on the back, leading me to believe it was stolen from a library. But the library is all the way in another state, and I don’t feel like doing anything about it, especially since I (well, actually my parents) already paid for it and it’s from so far away. So yeah, be cautious when buying used stuff.

Borrowing Pencils

Okay, I don’t really like this one that much, but I just want to say that it’s kinda annoying when people borrow pencils or pens and don’t return them. Usually I start a school year with a full set of brand new pencils, and in a few weeks, I have two or three left. Most of the time I forget to ask people for the pen/pencil back at the end of class, but it should really be the borrower’s responsibility to return it. Sometimes people say things like “I’ll give it back after the next class” but never do, and that’s even more annoying. However, there are some people who will always give a pencil back even after forgetting to do so at the end of class, and they’ll hold on to it until the next time they see you, and those people are awesome.

I don’t know where I’m going with this rant, but I doubt it’s that interesting to most people (reading over it, I realized it probably makes me sound really angry, but it’s more of a minor annoyance, if anything). This didn’t happen recently or anything, but I just thought it needed to be addressed, because it is a very serious problem that runs rampant in a society where people borrow or lend writing utensils. Well, it’s not that serious.

For programs that don’t have a “never” option, I usually end up doing this. I guess it could be considered a form of procrastination.

Buffets

Nitori’s been genetically modifying food at all-you-can-eat buffets so that they’re more filling and you don’t eat as much. That is the only logical explanation.
