k bye

So I finally had my ears checked by an EENT specialist. For a while I've been suffering from mild deafness. At first, it was just my left ear and then my right ear went about two months ago. It took me this long because I'm a lazy idiot. The first thing the doctor asked me was whether or not I'm suffering from a cold. I'm like, my problem is with my ears, why are you asking me about my nose? I've got sinusitis, or so I thought. It turns out it's allergic rhinitis -- I am extremely allergic to dust and animal hairs. So all my life I've grown up with pets and all my life I've suffered from a stuffy nose. No small wonder. I am allergic. And here I thought I was ridiculously healthy. Long story short, I can hear crystal now -- as in, if I turn on the faucet, I can almost hear each individual water drop. So cool.

In other news, I should tell you that I rarely get worked up over things. If I do, I usually keep my mouth shut. See, there's no use talking about it and getting all in a temper when the thing you're worked up about is out of your hands. But even my general apathy has its limits.

Yo, stupid MARINA people. The problem is not whether our ships have the latest in GPS technology. No matter how good the technology is, no matter how state of the art, if the captain and his equally idiotic crewmen cannot follow simple rules of the road, SHIT WILL HIT THE FAN. Get that?

Now, for another --

GSIS, no one is falling for your crap. If what you're experiencing now is really a technical problem, how come it's run on for months and months? Not even the most devastating computer glitches can last that long. The hardest part about fixing something is troubleshooting. So you know the problem, now FIX IT! And don't give us more crap about having "temporary and permanent solutions." Really? Temporary and permanent? I've never heard of anything more preposterous.

K, bye.

Moview Review: The Lady Shogun and Her Men

I've heard about this story for sometime now. The Japanese title is Ooku , which refers to the chamber in the shogun's castle where all the women of the shogun's harem are kept. However, Yoshinaga Fumi's manga, on which this movie is adapted, adds a twist: the shogun is a woman and beautiful men fill her harem. THE STORY In the year 1716 Japan, most of the men have died from a deadly disease that only affects men, resulting in their population dwindling to as much as 1/4 of the total population of women. Consequently, women fill in the traditional roles of men, performing hard labor, managing businesses and running government while men are pampered, protected and allowed only to indulge in light entertainment. In this nonexistent Japan lives Mizuno Yunoshin (Kazunari Ninomiya), a teenager from an impoverished samurai class family. He likes fencing and his childhood friend, O-Nobu (Horikita Maki), but because of his family's financial status (O-Nobu is a daugh...

I have loved the stars too truly to be fearful of the night

THE OLD ASTRONOMER. - Sarah Williams R EACH me down my Tycho Brahé,—I would know him when we meet, When I share my later science, sitting humbly at his feet; He may know the law of all things, yet be ignorant of how We are working to completion, working on from then till now. Pray, remember, that I leave you all my theory complete, Lacking only certain data, for your adding, as is meet; And remember, men will scorn it, 'tis original and true, And the obloquy of newness may fall bitterly on you. But, my pupil, as my pupil you have learnt the worth of scorn; You have laughed with me at pity, we have joyed to be forlorn; What, for us, are all distractions of men's fellowship and smiles? What, for us, the goddess Pleasure, with her meretricious wiles? You may tell that German college that their honour comes too late. But they must not waste repentance on the grizzly savant's fate; Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light; I have loved the s...

TV Review: The Queen's Classroom

Imagine a person with the emotional range of a terminator, the aura of Darth Vader and the Machiavellian mindset of Hitler. Now put her in a classroom. What you get is an unusual Japanese drama series that debunks the "heroic" teacher stereotype, presents searing commentaries about the state of the public school system, and gives you a character so evil and negative that the makers of the series had to show a clip at the ending transforming her back into just an actress. The show is called The Queen's Classroom and not for no reason. THE STORY Sixth grader Kanda Kazumi ( Shida Mirai ) is looking forward to spending her last year in grade school having fun and creating lasting memories with her friends. But problems arise when a strict new teacher, Akutsu Maya ( Amami Yuki ) is assigned as their homeroom adviser. Maya ranks her class strictly according to merit, punishing harshly those with the lowest grades while lavishly awarding those with the highest marks. So...
