My Professor is in Moscow and I think I Just Poisoned Myself...

I'm getting lazy and it is really hard to think of good subjects.

Anyway, Cohen is in Moscow and I have lectured cancelled and I came back here. I would have stayed longer but they had a sub so there was no way in hell was I was gonna remain in that out of whack classroom where I almost got punched today trying to stop a fight. Today was not a good day. Gary, the sub, told the class that they weren't utilizing their brains and if they weren't careful, they'll still be the same five years from now. Of course, they took as Gary telling the entire class that they were idiots and got upset. It was impossible to do anything after that.

And it's not like Gary's a bad guy. He really is a good teacher -- he's just not used to handling little kids. He's more middle school and where he teaches part-time at Swann is 95% Asian so of course they would be different from these mostly White, Black and Hispanic kids. Anyway, today was a BAD day so I came back to have lunch and to do homework.

I reheated the congee I made and I think I had one too many ginko nuts because I'm already starting to feel a bit stomach-achy. I doubt I'll die but still, it makes you think when you know a dozen of them could kill a little kid (but that's when they're raw and I've more or less thoroughly cooked them).

I'm spending a Chem day working on studying for the midterm. I was planning a nap but I have readings I need to do and I have to work on studying so I don't think I have time. I have two problems left on my homework set so that's good... I just have to get through the practice exam and through the reading list for my Jap art class.

Oh, a little something more. Last night mysupaego IMed me again. We talked a bit about life, what's happening and about hip hop since he's a hip hop artist. Anyway, he let me listen to one of his beats and he free-styled for me. This was like at midnight so at the time, I was wondering what the hell was happening my life. Here I am, doing Chem homework as this guy freestyled a hip hop song to me. He was doing through his mic and we direct connected so I was hearing as he was doing it. It was weird. If I didn't know better...well, I know better.

Oh! Something funny! I use Kimeru's first album cover with the words "Be Shiny" on it as my AIM icon and he thought it was me! LOL! He was going to say he thought "she" was cute. He was rather shocked but he didn't freak out which is really great.

Come to think about it, last night was the first time I had ever heard his voice... It was deeper than what I thought it would be... And actually, he freestyled some okay stuff. He wasn't as offensive or terrible as some of the stuff out there.

When I told him that, he started going off on this rant about how the commercial hip hop out there is crap and doesn't deserve to be called hip hop and the underground and the stuff from the 80s were the real thing...Apparently he's a hip hop purist. Oh well. I don't particularly care either way but I was happy that he didn't say something I had to pretend to like.

I slept.

I went to read and decided I wasn't feeling all that well and took a nap for about two hours. I don't know why -- it might have been the fact that I was out in the cold for recess today or that I spent it talking to a girl who was throwing up for the past week and wasn't feeling totally better yet or it could have been my period but I was feeling icky... I woke up feeling icky too but I have to get some work done tonight. Hopefully, I'll get all my reading done, my pre-lab and a few pages of the practice exam for Chem... I don't want to stay up too late tonight since I still feel kinda out of it and my head is bothering me a bit...

I watched another episode of H2 while doing my pre-lab and there was another one of those funny but maybe not -- Hiro was talking to Hideo in his room and was sitting by the window and outside, this woman scantily dressed had dropped some vegetables. So she bends down, offering the camera a really good view of her chest and she picks up a really big daikon radish and two long cucumbers.

Is it just me who saw the symbolism of those?! Anyway, I burst out laughing when I saw it. It was crude and a bit cliche, but I didn't expect it to be in a show like this. And Kunimi Hiro -- my love for him and his actor has strengthened! He's soooo cute!!!

I also love how they're advancing the Hiro/Haruka romance. They were never this fast in the manga. The whole Hiro/Hikari thing is still underlying everything but hopefully that'll get cleared up before the end and I can see some Hiro/Haruka action. I mean the actors who play the two of them are two of the hottest teen stars in the business right now so they have to be hooked up together.

Anyway, again, I recommend to everyone. I'd throw all the episodes of it to you if I could but it's only been fansubbed to the 3rd episode (out of 11). But still, one year has already gone by so it's progressing really, really fast. At two years, (as seen from the very beginning of the first episode), Hiro and Hideo will meet at Koshien so we'll definitely get to that game towards the end...

I'm gonna be so spoiled... I'm only at the start of Koshien in the manga and this is going to go beyond that... Oh, well, I just want more of it before I have to leave NYU and go back to crappy dial-up. It'll take me so long to download an episode of a drama! It won't be funny at all. :( I leave in May, will miss the May, June, July and August releases so I'll have a lot to catch up on when I return the beginning of September.

And Water Street is getting cable and ethernet hookups! YES!!! It so won't be funny if we don't end up there.

Oh! One last thing! A download! This is the end theme of H2, Over... sung by K. Please download it! It's really good and sad and soft and it really is a good song! Diana -- I think you'll like it so please try it! And try the drama too!

K - Over...

edit x1: I'm trying to find a new TVB show to watch and I've decided on The Last Breakthrough but I can't find it in Cantonese! :( This was supposed to be the big show of 2004 so I really want to see it (they go to Kenya!) but...

:(
