Man o man, I am so tired. |D In that sort of "whee I still have a bunch of STUFF to do, I should get around to it!"
--I know that probably once I graduate, it'll be a sort of wistfulness for what I've left behind, but right now, I'd really love to be doing just ONE thing, school or work, and not both at the same time. >_> Also, my parents are crazy. Or at least forgetful. (Yes, Dad, you already told me how to try and diagnose what's wrong with my laptop/keyboard THREE TIMES IN THE PAST FIFTEEN MINUTES. When Mom starts noticing that I'm getting impatient -- because like the good little Asian daughter, I try not to obviously snap to my parents' faces -- it's bad. No, really. We talked for half an hour and other than the "your aunt and uncle visited and we saw The Davinci Code!" everything they told me was stuff I'd heard at least three times before. haha.)
ATTN SEATTLE FOLKS: PLZ LET ME KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY RESTURANTS YOU ARE DYING TO TRY. My parents want to take you guys out to a "nice dinner," and right now the only thing I can think of is Cheesecake Factory and uh regardless of where we go you'll have to provide your own transportation. But seriously, let me know, so I can start making arrangements. (Good lord, I graduate in less than two weeks. I graduate in less than two weeks hahaha headsplodey.)
So far, I'm thinking that the keyboard problems are with the keyboard itself, though it's hard to tell whether it's that or the port replicator. This weekend will likely involve experimenting with both as I try to determine if it's that or the laptop itself. I don't THINK it is, knockonwood, because I'm using the laptop's internal keyboard right now and I'm not having any of the double letters/freezing problems I had when using the other laptop. Buu, and I was so excited to have a regular keyboard, with a number pad and everything.
Cracked Fandom Theory #3765879: Thought of on the bus ride home, in between intermittant cat-naps: If going by the anime's canon, Kantarou's scar only pains him around oni/malevolent creatures, and generally speaking that's the implication of a curse and/or grudge, coupled with the weird we-don't-know-what-happened with his mother, could we say that Kantarou's mother somehow became an oni, and gave him the scar? ("Did you love me? Do you resent me?" is what he asks at her grave, so.)
I only say this because one of those douj I got the other week has Kantarou making Haruka promise that if he (Kantarou) becomes an oni, he wants him (Haruka) to kill and eat him.
... and not even in the sexual way, whut.
On a school-related note, why is it better, if you're trying to clone a gene, to use mRNA rather than just genomic DNA? The answer is ostensibly in my coursepack, but I think I zoned out during that part of the lecture, because it's so much like everything else that the Biochem major puts you through. |D
