In my apartment, I check how windy it is outside not by looking at the trees outside (since there aren’t as many of those as Seattle..) but by looking at the toilet water. When it’s super windy outside, the toilet water makes waves on the surface just like those you see on cruise ships. It’s kinda cool.

I’ve yet to figure out why the toilet water is affected by the wind…

Everyone has a school site for hippopotamus in their brains. It’s very important to keep this place functional since this is where we form our thoughts and reasonings.

The Japanese word for hippopotamus is kaba and if you change the order of letters, it’s baka (not smart). The word baka was made when somebody confused ba (horse) with ka (deer). The disorder in the hippopotamus school site can confuse your mind.

Omega-3 fatty acid can help maintain the order there.

I was looking at a British passport and I saw a lion and a horse standing on their rear legs against some national mark. That picture reminded me of something; drag-queens. Those musculine animals standing on two feet are unnatural in a way similar to drag-queens who look obviously like just guys with a skirt and fake breasts. (http://www.stockphotography.co.uk/Store/App/f.asp?C=7 Go to: Misc/Abstract/Money, coins etc)

This doesn’t mean that all drag-queens look unnatural and poorly disguised. I’ve met one of the most beautiful “lady” at Washington DC gay festival. I thought sHe was a supermodel…I’d love to meet that queen again.

Audrey Hepburn in Charade (when she tries to disguise with sunglasses and a white(?) hood) + mustache = beautiful unabomber

I was searching for a fish tank for my betta-max on ebay. I saw a couple people selling “cat-shaped ” fish tanks. Then I thought I should make a geisha shaped fish tank – only the people who think about it hard can get the real message.

I wouldn’t put my fish in a cat/geisha shaped fish tank. That’s kinda mean…

Sometimes, I wish beagles were bagels. Not because I’m that hungry but because I heard that beagles are popular experimental subjects because they bleed well… I might feel less horrible if bagels were used to test mutations and such. Maybe. Maybe not. I like bagels too.

There are many things that I often feel too embarrassed to do in public; playing piano, giving a speech, cleaning fish for cooking etc etc. I find it kind of nerve-racking yo choose music in front of my friends. I feel like I’m showing parts of myself that I don’t usually show to people..it’s hard to hide myself that are being expressed in anything (i.e. art, music) other than facial and maybe verbal expressions.

There are many many useful skills that I wish I had. I always thought that an ability to roar like a lion can be pretty useful when scary people or animals try to assault me. I wonder how a dog would react to my roaring…would they get scared by what they hear or would they trust what they see?

For a long time (actually until last week), I thought the word, lukewarm was “nuke”warm. I think the reason was probably because I was associating “nuke” with a japanese word for lukewarm “nukui”.

I can’t believe nobody corrected me on this for seven years. How embarrassing..I think I’m gonna start telling people that the water is “nuke”warm when it actually is boiling hot (like nuclear warm = hot). This way, only those who pay enough attention to me can avoid getting burnt.

There have been almost no cockroaches in my kitchen. It’s getting pretty cold here and that’s probably why.

One of the last few roaches I saw decided to jump off from the kitchen counter. The counter is at least 1m high but the roach started running as soon as it landed. I wanted to ask it how it felt when it was falling down. What does it feel like to fall off a cliff without thinking you’re gonna die?

My friend was talking about this place where they remove each piece of your hair with thread..I’m really curious. How does it work and why is it better than doing it with a twizzer??

People often say those who are near-sighted are book worms. I think that’s almost like saying people who have flat butts are deligent workers.

I like the sound of both argments but I don’t think they’re necessarily true…unfortunately.

Deep sea creatures are fascinating. Some of them like viperfish are intimidating looking. I was thinking that when a thing looks scary, it’s because it wants to scare its preys or whatever – but I thought that deep sea creatures, whether prey or predators, couldn’t see anything…what’s the purpose of looking so frightening then?

There are some people who hate abbreviations used in chat programs like u instead of you. I have a suggestion for these people. If they get an SMS saying “msg me when you get to the station” or something like that, I think they should bring a bottle of monosodium glutamate and pour it onto the msger.

yumm…MSG..

People talk about how humans differ from the other living things; humans have cultures, higher intellectual capacities, a wider variety of emotions, etc etc.

I say that one of the differences is that humans think least frequently about dying from getting eaten. I feel like almost all the other living things (excecpt for trees and a couple other things..) fear becoming preys of other organisms – of course, we becomes preys of viruses and bacteria quite often but still, it’s not like we are contantly alert so as not to get “eaten” by something else.

I made a mistake that I should never have as a nutritionist – I bought a cucmber thinking it was a zuccini.

Had Mako been there when I cut it to put in my soup, I know I would have totally pretended that I meant to cook cucmbers in soup.

Another corny movie idea.

View the earth as a prison for another planet/world that is closer to ideal. It is quite liberal compared to jail cells (maybe the ideal world prohibit putting prisoners in cells…) but still you encounter people who are violent and may get beaten up etc in this prison. Everyone tries to make rules but without prisoner watchers, it is rather chaotic. Also, humans who die young have actually been sentenced for lighter punishment in the previous life in the ideal world.

Even if the earth IS a prison of an ideal world, I still think this world is cool..

I love brie. I’ve been eating it every day for the last 8 days..my pouch is made from brie. My butt is made from Parmesian cheese; my boobs from fresh mozzarella balls. And my thighs are made from Mayonaise.

I love dairy products.

A fun game to play when you’re kinda bored.

Come up with a fish name that sounds maybe true but maybe not – have the other person guess whether that is a true fish name or not. Then, google.

Mako beat me the first time we played this game. His suggestion was “Slimefish” – I guess wrong…

Everyone has his/her unique fear. I got one too. I can be pretty forgetful sometimes and I’m afraid that I’d someday forget to wear pants (I mean trousers, british english speakers!) or a skirt and notice that like 10 minutes after I leave my house. In fact, I sometimes check whether I’m wearing something to cover me up while I’m walking outside and get sweaty for a couple seconds.

I wonder what I would do if that happens though. While I’m young enough that this is not likely to happen, I think I’d start acting crazy. I know I’d get more attention but people would at least get a wrong idea that “oh she’s insane” rather than thinking “wait..did she forget to wear pants??” I gues this is a strange pride but I’d rather want people to think I’m crazy than I’m forgetful.
