(no subject)

I think the more I'm online, the more my English suffers.

And I used to be such a perfectionist when it comes to writing too...

Damn.

Time just flies away...

Why is that when you have nothing to do and when you have a ton of work to do, time flies away from you just as quickly?

This Spring Break was over before I knew it (it seriously felt like an extended weekend more than it did a week long break) and I've been back at my dorm for an hour and I've only gotten a paragraph written on my three page paper (single spaced too -- oh my god, I haven't written anything single spaced in ages...It's going be so damn long but at least my one paragraph that I've written takes up like a third of the first page already and it's three pages including citations).

I must work hard tonight! Or I'm screwed for tomorrow! Must work hard!

I'm hungry though...And I'm downloading the 2005 season of Doctor Who and I want to watch that! *makes a face*

I'm going to rely on Dirty Little Secret (which is my favorite song right now because it's just a wonderful song!) to get my spirits up.. I've had the song in my head the entire day and it hurt not being able to listen to it constantly. So now that I'm back, I'm going to exhaust this song until I don't want to listen to it any more.

Tired...

I'm so tired... Haven't gotten anywhere since I last posted... Have procrastinated and made dinner and I ate just a bit too much.... Chotto tabesugimashita... Ugh...

I seriously don't want to do this! I feel as though if I don't commit myself now to work on it (which obviously isn't happening very well since I'm procrastinating with this LJ entry), I'll end up doing nothing until the Apprentice (is the Apprentice on tonight? Is March Madness over yet? Does that even affect the Apprentice?) is on. And then it'll be late and then I'll be so screwed because I definitely do not have time for this tomorrow -- long lab and then definitely studying and lots of other icky stuff.

Plus I want to print this off tomorrow during lunch so the most I can leave undone is probably a page. I'm guessing at least. I have just over two hours for lunch tomorrow so I should have time to do a page with the way I procrastinate. Which means I'll be working on this for two hours more, possibly three with the lack of research I did on side effects and concerns.

But god damn it, the great thing about telomerase inhibiting drugs is the fact that is seems like there are no side effects or concerns! They don't effect surrounding somatic cells and they don't seem to have an effect on somatic cells either... All I'm getting is "no effects" or "minimal side effects" and I can totally understand it because they're targeting somatic cells that don't divide anyway so it's not like if you target telomerase, it will do anything because those genes are already OFF! But just because the handful of trials they've run have had no short term side effects (this is too new of a subject, everything is from like the 90s and on and only recently -- like three weeks ago -- have they decoded the structure) doesn't mean long term there won't be harmful ramifications... :\

I just want sleep. I only had three hours last night... It more of a nap than anything... And I definitely have to be awake for Orgo lecture tomorrow. Chapter 23 is absolutely killer and it will be on the midterm this Friday. Gah!

And someone has to tell me why Tackey & Tsubasa singles seem have to Takizawa and Tsubasa singing solo songs... Soloists at heart?

edit x1: God, scientific articles are so dry... I need coffee -- I need to be awake for this or else it's not going to sink in at all.

edit x2: It's bad when I haven't had coffee for like two weeks (over, probably three or four) and just the smell of freshly brewed hazelnut flavored coffee (god, I love hazelnut) is making me all perky inside... I think I might finally be able to take on all these dry scientific papers (whose writers don't know the meaning of good writing but who cares, I have hazelnut coffeeeeee!!!!) now. :) <-- That's a tired smile by the way, because no amount of coffee can erase the fact that I only slept for three hours last night.

edit x3: And I'm awake. And yet, still procrastinating. But still, I'm more alert than I've felt in ages. Ah, I love coffee's effect on people... Or rather, a good dose of caffeine on people. It's all the same. :) <-- And that would be a contented smile because I'm just a bit looney from the coffee after being coffeeless for so long.

edit x4: A good cup of coffee -- hazelnut coffee because hazel nut coffee is the best. Use just over two tablespoons for two cups of water to give it the extra punch.

Five (or five and a half if you want a bit more sugar) teaspoons of sugar.

Enough creamer/milk/cream to turn the coffee the color of the light brown color pencil from Crayola. Best if it's not cold because cold hazelnut coffee is just not yummy at all. Plus, there's a good amount of sugar so you don't want that coming out either.

Enjoy. :)

And I've actually made progress!!! Sure it's specific drug progress (side effects!) but they open the window to further speculation which is what my paper needs to do. It doesn't need concrete data backed up facts, but the essense of the biological problems associated with inhibiting telomerase. It's not really inhibiting telomerase that's bad, it's what might the drug to other cells that's not neccessarily related that things might get iffy.

edit x5: I think this will be my official Sherry procrastination post. Right now, procrastination vehicle of choice? Kimeru's Pink!!!

There's just something about this song, isn't there? So a wonderfully calming soon, such a wonderfully beautiful song, such a beautifully sung song... It makes you have to wave your hands back and forth, draws you into a mellow state and makes you happy.

But at the same time, there's this underlying sad feeling as well that kinda makes you want to go and hug Kimeru while he's singing this song... We all love Pink, ne? I really need to listen to this song some more because it's really a wonderful song... I don't want to ruin the mood it's sunk me into.... Maybe I'll play it for the next hour or so or something like that...

Diana-chan!!!

Diana-chan!

Why won't you come play with me? :(

Sherry is sad without you and Bear-chan is too... :(

Come play with us, ne?

Is being considerate not enough?!

:(

I've missed episodes because of her before -- because she seems to like weird times to nap. It's not my fault that she inverted her schedule so that she would be awake during the night time when it's day time in China. I mean, seriously, the other people in the U.S keep normal hours. Like me.

I mean if she's asleep, okay, I get it, I'll listen to the TV with my headphones so that she can't hear it. If she's asleep, she shouldn't be bothered by the images! I mean, geez! And now she's talking to her friend on her phone, attributing ME as the thing that woke her up.

I mean should I have waited until tomorrow or something, downloaded it on BT and then watched it? It's not like it would have made a difference either if she's still asleep and I'm watching it on my laptop instead of the TV. Either way, no sound because I'd be on my headphones! :\

I am seriously miffed here. :( Can I not win with her at all?

Who thinks Toshi and Goro would make a good couple?

I do!!!

So cute! I just watched Major 14 -- raw so I have no idea what the hell it's saying most of the time, but I think I got the gist of the show. They unveiled the new ED and it's pretty much Goro/Toshi! So cute! Sure, they don't have the tension that I usually like in my couples, but they're just so cute! And they have such a sweet history! I think it'll pretty cute just putting them together. And I think I've said cute too many times in the last couple of sentences...

I can't believe Minor Ja Nai hasn't released yet and I'm getting pretty sick waiting but these raws aren't bad. I'm sure once I start watching the fansubs again, I'll feel like I was spoiled royally but right now I wish it were Sunday and I could download the raw to episode 15. The potential of Goro just keeps on growing with every episode and it's so wonderful to see him improve as a player. And I really want to see if my precious Toshi-Goro battery will play out like I hope it will.

I really want Major fanfics now but I have a feeling it's not going to be easy finding them...Especially not Toshi and Goro together.
