| Check out those corsets

I'm doomed. I told myself I wouldn't take until 5:00 pm at the library, but now it's past 6:30. I have midterm exams tomorrow, and holy shit! I don't think I'll pass either of my Honors English or PDM tests…

On the bright side, get a load of these guys:

Versailles

Yeah, you can see I'm trying to spruce up my writing here… generate some more interest in my hopelessly desolate blog… Anyway, just who are those corset-clad beauties? They're the Japanese visual kei band Versailles, and the musical genres listed on their Wikipedia page (symphonic metal, power metal, neo-classical metal) are all unanimously to my liking. I think I'll look into them some more… after I study, that is.

Music reviews… for Play, 愛‧歌姬 (Love · Diva), and Jay Chou on the Run…? Those will be arriving soon, after my exams (or while I stall in my usual vain attempt to delay preparing for my chemistry test)…

Aaaaaaaa-aaaaaaagh, I have so much homework today.

Hey, I released my Orange Jellies theme… did anyone notice?

My good friend Jacky-Lin came back from Taiwan over break, and she helped me purchase some Asian goods (she went, I paid). The loot:

I've listened through all three and am thinking of writing some reviews soon. More to come. Chao.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaagh I've been sitting in front of this accursed library computer for nearly three hours and I can't tear myself away…!

So. I finally switched to a new WordPress theme, except that this author was a sloppy coder/designer and I had to manually clean up and tweak the main stylesheet, as well as some of the theme templates.

Aaaaaaaaaand — the 2008 American presidential race will officially begin with tonight's Iowa Caucus, which commences at 7:00 pm. I sincerely hope Hillary Clinton does well, and wins the party nomination… or simply that a Democrat wins the presidency, for that matter.

Hey, I think the couple habituating the computer to my right are speaking… German? No, that doesn't sound right… I think it's some eastern European language. It sounds very beautiful.

Well, in a moment I'm going to get off my tush and walk home in my high-heeled, knee-high black boots fitted with orthopedic arch supports. The boots were purchased from Goodwill for $5, and the arch supports are for my recently rematerialized flat feet.

Oh, school… you loom ever closer, less than a week away, and I still haven't made substantial progress on my exam review packet and chemistry homework… will you please slow down? Thank you.
