 Oh crud. I’ve carelessly set myself up for participation in a so-called ‘Comment Meme’ by commenting on a certain Livejournal journal. Reading it, you will quickly come to the realization that I completely missed out on reading point #8. I’ve never been in the habit of doing memes, seeing them as an interactive breed of chain letter. On the other hand, I don’t get many commentators, so that means I wouldn’t have much work to do, hehe. Read on then, if you dare. Continue reading Jumping into a Bear’s Maw: Meme Trap
 Rage against the World! Quite a bit has happened since my last post back in February. Did your world darken while I was away? Or brighten up? Hmm. Don’t answer that question, whatever your answer is. I have this niggling feeling that my draftsmanship has deteriorated during my long sabbatical. The only things I wrote during that period were dull law notes taken during revision classes. Hour upon hour of torture. It screws with your head, and not in a good way. Continue reading Institutional bias, failed plans and self-inflicted torture
 "2010 is our year! Nyaa~!" You got me right. Tigers are facing extinction, unless we do something about it. Or perhaps, unless we stop doing certain things… Tiger liver for dinner, anyone? You get the picture. Now don’t get me wrong- I like the big orange fuzz-balls as much as the next person on the street, but I’m not joining PETA anytime soon. While we’re on the subject, I had better mention that although its namesake isn’t doing very well in the survival department, Tiger Beer is still safe in many a beer-guzzler’s refrigerator… Continue reading My Dream in the Year of the Tiger
 "This Photo is Proudly Stolen from a Free Source"
I know, I know… you’re probably thinking, “What! Yet another post about a contest?” Bear with me here, people. If in the previous post I had you reading an unbearably long post (if you consider 1000 or so words long), worry not. This post will be so short that I won’t even bother with using the ‘Read More’ function, hehe. Post-completion edit: Oops. Not possible today, apparently;) Continue reading flymas.mobi: As Easy as Cooking Instant Ramen
 "Stealing a chocolate bar requires little effort, but much planning" I’m bored. I need something to amuse me, especially while I’m on the run, or in between classes. It would be nice to be able to surf the web. Or play some games. Maybe even watch a movie.
Then again, to do all that satisfactorily, I’d need a laptop computer, a game console, and a home theatre system. Sheesh. I’d also need a Hummer to carry all of it as I head to college. Continue reading Why I Like It Longer. No, Seriously…
 "it's a little too tight..." Well, quite a bit has happened since my last post, hasn’t it? Some of you might have been greeted by a snow white screen with some random gibberish on it- good riddance. It all stated when I noticed that my links, categories, and tags had vanished- after trawling the net for guidance, I came across some seemingly wise advice- to reinstall WordPress. ‘Huh, yeah, why didn’t I think of that? Sounds simple enough- no need for any meddling with coding and all that…’ I shouldn’t have rushed, really. Logged into my control panel and deleted all my .PHP files, except for wp-config, and then proceeded to replace the deleted files with fresh copies. Continue reading Confessions of an alleged Gothic Lolita
 What now? ‘Prologue’
Well, here it is- what you’ve all been waiting for, since the moment when I first expressed my hope to migrate to a paid host, free from the restrictions of a free blog. It’s been a long wait, no? First of all, I kept myself waiting, researching the benefits/detriments attached to the use of a free hosting service, being, to a certain extent, quite determined to make use of one, even going so far as to set up a site bearing the name a20tameshi. Don’t bother searching. It’s dead. It’s a good thing that I didn’t name it aprilius20 as well, since I am a little emotionally attached to this name- my little exercise in branding. Wouldn’t want it to be attached to something that returns an error 404. Continue reading A Miniature Akallabêth of Sorts
 Boo. This is a delayed post. ‘Delayed’, as in ‘should have been completed a month ago, published a month ago, forgotten a month ago’ delayed. As for the introductory picture, don’t worry, I’m not feeling suicidal. I’m far too irrationally rational- or rationally irrational, whichever one you prefer- to even contemplate doing such a thing. Hence, boo. Continue reading Bad Weather
Back to the bookies- no, books
After hours of futilely attempting to access the online exam results checker (I no longer have the energy to rant about how useless the University’s web-designers are) only to be greeted with a cheerful ‘Error 404’ or be redirected to the insipid site map, I [...]
It arrived one or two weeks ago, out of nowhere, without warning, without welcome, like a rain of fresh toothy tuna. Not that tuna fell out of the sky here. Whatever, I’m rambling, I know. The ‘thing’ that ‘arrived’ was a prophetic sign in the form of a newspaper advertisement- my old college, that funny little building above a bank where I did my A-Levels before moving on to another funny little building situated on a row of brothels; gleefully announcing their ownership of a student who had the higher score in the world for the University of London’s Law degree. Jolly good. How nice for her.
It hit me seconds later, as these things tend to do. Note: If it was fresh tuna, now, you wouldn’t even have seconds to think- how it was relevant to me. It could only mean one thing: that those sadistic old fogeys (Presumably) in London (But more likely vacationing in the Bahamas) were done with marking our exam papers. It had to come, sooner or later. But I’d really come to love this sedentary limbo I’ve been in for the past two-three months.
As I’ve probably mentioned several posts back, I wasn’t too happy with how the exam went. I exited irritated, annoyed, vaguely violent and frighteningly hungry, but without much mood for anything. That said, I consider myself quite lucky (Trying to think positively here) for having something else to take my mind of the thought of the soon-to-be-released results: This picture, which I found in an online forum:
