College Reviews
August 29th, 2008
I’ve been reading up on reviews written by students attending what is right now my first-choice university and I’m amazed at how many grade the school negatively. The school does look like a fortress on the outside, but really, I don’t care about the building’s aesthetics, more so the things I’ll be learning there. Then again, you’d think a school with fairly large art and design departments would be more pretty, wouldn’t you? I’ve seen hospitals that are prettier than this thing, yo. XD
The largest complaints appear to be social life, that the people that are attending it are generally pasty antisocial freaks that enjoy staring at their shoelaces, are glued to their computers and would rather watch anime and play video games than go to a party and/or be social.
And here all I’m thinking is, “OH MY GOD, I WOULD FIT IN SO WELL THERE!!!”
Fun, School Preparations

Akismet Fails
August 28th, 2008
Lately I have received several hilarious comments on the entry about Chip waddling on the floor. They were mixed in with my regular comments as awaiting moderation rather than spam, and they were just… wow. Off the top of my head, some were like this:
This is great and all, but what does this have to do with pointy forks in China?
I understand your opinion, but I don’t agree with it. I think it will take more time for me to ease into that view, but I’ll tolerate you for now.
Great review! Next time focus on something more awesome, like Transformers.
These are just what I remember and aren’t direct quotes, because I deleted them after the 20 minutes or so I spent laughing at them. I mean, really? Luckily, Akismet came out with an update today, so it should do its job better. Or at least, I hope so!
Otherwise, I’m on a major job hunt like woah. Also, this is the beginning of my college preparations here. I have my eye on a private university and, as I constantly pester friends about it, I feel like I have a good chance of getting in. Still intimidating as hell, but we’ll see. I have to make a portfolio and everything, so this should be interesting.

Now that my floor is less cluttered, I’ve taken to putting Chip on the floor so he can have some free range time. He never really gets to walk around that much, and it’s absolutely adorable to watch him waddle around because his chunky backside shakes when he walks and he barely has any actual leg attached to his feet.
I don’t close his cage door when I take him out because he struggles when he’s in the air and his toes are incredibly sharp, which equals a stab fest on my arms. That, and I just don’t really care enough about that tiny detail. XD Apparently Chip does, however, because last night (and today) I watched him wander right off the pad, sniff around, waddle straight over to his cage and jump in. Yes, he jumped in. Never mind that the cage door is two inches off the ground and guinea pigs have poor backs, but somehow he managed it. And he did it a couple times today too, which became rather annoying when I was trying to get him to eat some food that I laid out for him. Apparently he likes standing around in his own poop more.
All I know is, he’s cleverer than I gave him credit for. What else has he kept from me?!
