Bah

Gaaaaah!

Pretty much sums it up.

I'm bored out of my mind.

(no subject)

So now that I'm no longer working at Advance, I got a new job working for a marketing company. I get to work from home and the money is good, and the job itself is not that bad. I have to talk on the phone and I don't really like talking on the phone, but again, the money is good. There's one drawback, though.

I stay home all day. I miss having coworkers to talk to. I miss the water cooler chats. I miss the cafeteria chat.

And I miss my friends.

Sora, you're still cruising around the Caribbean, or somewhere off the coast of California, I'm not sure. And I'm happy that you're there cos I know that's what you wanted and you're most likely enjoying it. Really. But I miss talking to you.

Emph, you're supposed to be back in Lima soon. I don't know how long you'll stay before going back to Brazil, but I hope we get to talk. I promise I won't try anything XD. Naw, you know I never would. I just like to tease you.

Henry... dammit man. I'm sorry.

Xio is busy with finals and term papers until the 20th and her Spaniard is coming over, they'll be spending their vacations together. She called to ask me to go with them to the theater and the movies and stuff, but she hasn't seen him in ages and I don't want to be a third wheel. It'd be awkward, to say the least.

Yesterday I almost made a big mistake. I really like Frescia, no doubt about that. Spending time with her made me forget everything else. And when we hugged, we just stood there... her head on my shoulder, the scent of her hair... my heart almost stopped. We almost kissed, before we were interrupted. I know she and I, we... it just can't happen. She might be the nicest, sweetest person around me, but that's not the real her. I have to face it, something could happen, but it must not happen. 

Doesn't make it any easier, though. Dammit.

I just... I feel kind of alone.

Hug?

Strange feelings

 Like feeling down because the sun is shining when you were hoping for a rainy day, or loving someone unattainable.

Or feeling sad about eating a chocolate bunny's head.

Where do feelings come from? What is the point of feeling hate, sadness, joy or regret? 

And worse is, feelings don't always make sense. There's no point in denying them, either, you've just got to go on and deal with them and hope that they disappear eventually.

Or hold on to them, and hope with all your heart they never, ever do.

Now that I've slept on it...

 Star Trek XI is a good movie.

The plot's solid, the acting is convincing and the casting was flawless.

Yes, it rewrites the whole Trek continuity... but so did the Guardian of Infinity, the Nexus, Q, the occasional fold in the space-time continuum and a large etcetera. So this is another alternate reality story.

And a good one at that.

Nimoy's appearance was a definite bonus. Seeing him as Spock after this many years... it was touching.

So go see the movie, it's totally worth it. Then buy the DVD and watch it over and over again.


I know I will.

Star trek... revisited

 I'm still too shocked to properly analyze this. This movie is a complete retcon of all things Trekkie!

But Leonard Nimoy is in it... and it's not a cameo... and he reads the classic opening lines... but still!

I have to sleep on it.

Total retcon.

Wow.

Sick again

 So here I am, on my third day of a rather nasty allergy. I'm pretty sure this is my last sick day, by tomorrow I should be up and about.

Anyways, recent news... let's see. Saturday before last a friend and I went to watch The Mystery of Irma Vep and afterwards she got me to go with her club-hopping... literally, because everywhere we went was closed, so we had to hopscotch all over Barranco and Miraflores in order to find one that was open. It was pretty fun, actually.

And then last week, on Saturday afternoon I landed for a bit in the Goethe Institut for pretzels and strudel, and later it was Opera night. Attila, in the Callao Municipal Theatre. I'll just leave it at breathtaking and marvelous. Afterwards i dropped by at a friend's to say hi for a bit, it was her birthday (and she had a magician! XD).  Sunday  night I went with my family to watch The Gronholm Method in Larcomar, and later ate an ice cream. A fancy one with nuts and caramel and some other stuff.

Unlucky me, apparently I'm allergic to something on that ice cream.

I lost two days at work (there goes my Easter overtime), and tomorrow I positively have to be A-OK. No can lose another day.

Now I'm off to bed, rest is the best medicine in my case.

Take care now, and bye!

The grinder

So basically, my life cycle now is:

Wake up
Shower
Go to work
Go to class
Go home
Go to bed
Repeat

So it's not that I've lost interest in posting, it's that I don't have anything to write about. I mean, my social life...

Sora's in the Caribbean.
Emphy's in Brazil.
Xio is busy with her own work and classes and we have no days off together.
DDS is all but dismembered
And Kary's off-line till the 31st...

I'm gonna go lie down, maybe watch BSG or something. Best wishes to everyone!

Tired

As simple as that.

I'm tired. Exhausted. And not just on the physical, one-good-night-sleep-fixes-it sense.

It's been a really long, hard day today. I just need to unwind but I'm flat out broke til Thursday. I still haven't watched Coraline... and I realized last week how utterly, totally, absolutely in love I am, and also how that, well... that's not going to lead anywhere.

So yeah, add dissapointed to the list.

Good Lady Above Us, how much I miss her...

Plus the one person I could talk this with just happens to be cruising the Caribbean. Nice timing there... Nah, not your fault, I hope you're having a great time. Certainly deserve it.

Sleep soundly, world. Once I snap, you'll need the stamina to get away.

How long did you say?

Damn, I've been away for far too long.

So, I'm doing great at work so far, waiting for positions to open so I can recommend the little dudette and her friend...

No life other than that and classes.

I want to go see Coraline. But I'm broke. No paycheque until the end of the month.

Oh, and... lots of hugs from far away.

They're here!

Last shipment arrived today. Two copies of Brisingr and one of Sandman: Preludes & Nocturnes. I'm off to bed now, but I don't plan on sleeping for a while!

Caffeine high

It's 3:38 in the morning.

I can't sleep. Drank a Venti Iced American at 8 and I can't sleep.

Oh, and I need WiFi.

It's been a while

But I'm on my way to Viridian City once again.

Things... have changed, but somehow they're still again. And I'm happy about it!

A Merry Christmas to you

Taken from NORAD tracks Santa's Q&A:

How We Track Santa

NORAD uses four high-tech systems to track Santa – radar, satellites, Santa Cams and fighter jets.

Tracking Santa starts with the NORAD radar system called the North Warning System. This powerful radar system consists of 47 installations strung across the northern border of North America. On Christmas Eve, NORAD monitors the radar continuously for indications that Santa Claus has left the North Pole.

The moment that radar indicates Santa has lifted off, we use our second detection system. Satellites positioned in geo-synchronous orbit at 22,300 miles from the Earth’s surface are equipped with infrared sensors which enable them to detect heat. Amazingly, Rudolph's bright red nose gives off an infrared signature which allow our satellites to detect Rudolph and Santa.

The third tracking system is the Santa Cam network. We began using it in 1998, which is the year we put our Santa Tracking program on the internet. Santa Cams are ultra-cool, high-tech, high-speed digital cameras that are pre-positioned at many locations around the world. NORAD only uses these cameras once a year on Christmas Eve. The cameras capture images and videos of Santa and his reindeer as they make their journey around the world.

The fourth system is made up of fighter jets. Canadian NORAD fighter pilots flying the CF-18 intercept and welcome Santa to North America. In the United States, American NORAD fighter pilots in either the F-15 or the F-16 get the thrill of flying alongside Santa and his famous reindeer: Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen and, of course, Rudolph.

On a different note

I feel weird.

It's a mixture of knowing something cannot happen, should not happen, hoping it doesn't happen, and still wishing with all my heart it did happen.

I'm pulling myself in different directions and I honestly don't think I can take the strain much more.

Happy Thanksgiving. This is Askara, logging out.

It had to be drugs.

Kicking puppies for sport, I could have dealt with. Smoking I can stand. But drugs?

Damn.
