| I'm pretty depressed, to be completely honest.
I'm taking a cruise there in October, and they're worried about Americans being in that region. After Egypt was a couple days in Israel. Hmm... Anyway, I'm very amazed with the protesters. When people started looting the museums, the protesters came to defend the artifacts. I just e-mailed one of my American studies professors from last semester about how amused I was that National Geographic was claiming Egyptian history as mankind's history (some push for America's history when they say that in other texts). We went over this when discussing how nations collect relics from other cultures as a way of asserting power over others and so on. Link to Nat Geo: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2011/02/100201-egypt-antiquities-looting-apvin-video/ Mubarak did say he would step down in September, but the protesters aren't happy about it. Obama's been calling him to say he should step down sooner. The people have apparently been rallying around this Nobel Peace Prize winner who's been saying he'll take the job, but doesn't really want it. |

| Watching Spice and Wolf. I had seen some of it at Anime Los Angeles and thought it looked interesting.
So far I've seen the first episode and a couple episodes near the beginning. I'm digging it. |

| Read the first volume of Axis Powers Hetalia and got the second one in the mail yesterday.
I also finally got to renew my library card. SUCCESS! I've got a lovely mountain of graphic novels to tear through this weekend. Now... where to begin? The suspense is killing me. Perhaps the history of the beat generation as told by Harvey Pekar? Hmmm... Queen and Country? Transmetropolitan volume 8? Ooku volume 5? Books shall be read! |

| There is no point to this thread other than to say that it is the 10,000th thread on Xeogaming.
Congratulations are in order. For whom? Well, we'll get back to you on that one. So yeah, standby for a thread on Xeo's 9,000th post. Guaranteed there will be an "It's over 9000!!!" clip involved. Believe it. Gospel:  (Last edited by Rogue on 02-02-11 06:35 PM) |

The news just put up these images NASA got of the U.S. from space:
It pretty much covers everywhere "going as far west as Arizona," the news said. More from NASA: http://www.nasa.gov/topics/earth/features/snowstorm_feb2011.html |

| Yeah, when Phil doesn't see his shadow, it's supposed to mean an early spring is on the way.
And yeah, it's silly, but it's cute. It's kitschy. It's tradition. And honestly, it looks like a lot of fun. I look up the poem/proclamation every year and giggle about it. Punxsutawney Phil didn't see his shadow, but other poser groundhogs (and a llama) claim to have seen a shadow. |

| I'm sitting at my desk at my internship and my brain is turning to mush writing news briefs. I went to bed around 2 this morning since I was hanging around Chinatown for the new year's celebrations.
I've got a presentation to put together for next week with this guy I just met yesterday. We have to present on "The Good Earth" film. Lots to talk about really: yellow face (whites performing Asian roles in film), the madonna/whore juxtaposition in depicting Asian women (you're either a self-sacrificing peasant or a manipulative prostitute in the book/film), the whole showing sympathy toward the Chinese during the 1930s as a way of trying to get them to ally with us against Japan, etc. I might as well take my lunch now since my boss went out already. Not sure where I want to walk to today. Thankfully this is my last day this week. Gotta watch my grandmother tomorrow, but at least I can melt into an anime series or the delightful stack of graphic novels I picked up yesterday at the library. |

| Who the hell is watching this Yogi Bear movie?! It's been in first-run theaters longer than Scott Pilgrim and it's still showing like 10 times a day here in most of our local theaters!! | |||

| Finished Hetalia volume 2.
Now I'm bouncing between Ooku volume 5 and Transmetropolitan volume 8. I'll probably finish off Sandman today since the final volumes were finally on the shelf at the library. |

| Indeed, welcome.
Nothing to report here. Just laying in bed with a fever, a jug of orange juice, and a cough that won't go away. I hope I'm not coming down with what's been going around the office (whooping cough).  |

| So I'm laid up, sick in bed in my dark room watching a movie when one of my cats comes hurtling through my room, knocking everything over in a panic.
I'm too tired to really care about the wild hair that climbed up one of their butts, so I just try to roll over and fall asleep. Then I hear it... the yowling of a male cat. My girls, Miko and Tiki, have been constantly the target of this stray male that hangs around our house, attacking them and trying to either mate with them or simply harm them. He's been spraying the windows and occasionally entering the house through an open window and terrorizing the girls in their own home. It's gotten so bad, they HATE going outside now. They often urinate on the floor because they don't want to do it outside or in their litter boxes (which is another story... my grandmother, who's moved in with us, creates a competing smell in that bathroom. Yeah. Ew). My parents are pretty fed up with this guy, and they've charged me with capturing him so we can take him to a shelter or something. Anyway, the yowling. It was coming from our dining room. I sat up, walked by my dad's office and noticed the window was open. Figuring he probably went downstairs, I shut the window and walked around until he came running out from behind the couch, headed up the stairs, only to find his exit closed off. I walked into the office to find him crying and yowling, came in and closed the door behind me. For a moment, I'm feeling pride. I've caught this vicious brute who's mistreated my girls for so long. He cowers away from me, fearful of his life as he desperately stares out the window. My pride fades. I'm now thinking about what the shelter will do with him. Maybe he won't get chosen and will be put to death. As I sit here, typing this, he's curled up beneath the window, looking as though he's trying to nap. But his eyes betray his calm, as they stare, untrustingly, at me. I've pet him and scratched behind his ears. I just now heard the garage door open. He's heard it too and he's begun to cry again. I'll tell you all what happens next. |

| I immediately called up my friend who, when at my house a week or so ago, took a picture of him and named him Fredrick. She had commented since that she would consider adopting Fredrick if we caught him.
Before calling her, I was looking up no-kill shelters. Apparently anything in Long Beach and the surrounding areas, especially the ASPCA, kills. She's over right now looking him over. So far he hasn't attacked any of us and only cries and meows loudly out of fear. Here's the first pic I took of him a few months back, just before my cat, Tiki, was spayed:  |

| He's the one in the window. My cat, Tiki, is the tease. She was in heat at the time (pic was taken about a year ago). This guy came around our house a lot during those times wanting a piece of that.
My friend came by and really wants to take him, possibly to give to her boyfriend who has a cat that's always lonely. I don't know exactly what she decided as I went back to laying down in my room while my boyfriend talked to her about taking him. And he's still here. I had decided a long time ago that should I ever catch him I would have him neutered. I thought it horribly irresponsible that someone was letting an intact male wander the neighborhood. Now we're pretty sure he doesn't belong to anyone. I told my friend that should she take him, I will pay to have him neutered. He's a nice cat. He's been in the office all night and hasn't attacked any of us. He's just really scared. I would hate for him to go to a shelter because he doesn't stand a chance of being adopted in 3 days. The no-kill shelters aren't taking any more. I honestly dislike the idea of just driving somewhere and leaving him. He'll end up in some other cat's territory and he might starve from not knowing what to eat or where to find food. That and I've always despised people who dump off animals (especially their own pets  ) somewhere, thinking they'll be OK, like all of the rabbits at LBCC.
I really hope my friend or her boyfriend takes him and gives him a good home. He's been eating the food we gave him and although he meows and cries, he's responding well to being pet. |

| I certainly can. It's the only kind of clock in every class I've ever been in. Good to know how much longer I have to sit through a boring lecture.
When was the last... *Notices post count and promptly posts in a particular thread* Sorry about that. When was the last time you found yourself surprised by your feelings? |
