blue forest dark of memory

As a child, I always looked forward to consuming medicine. Cough medicine especially. I liked children's cough medicine, due to its strange flavour, but the adult stuff intrigued me even more. It had such a unique taste I couldn't help but love it.

Sometimes I would sneak around just to get a taste of cough medicine when I wasn't sick.

This apple-flavoured soju, that came with a shot glass of its own, tastes exceedingly like cough medicine. I love it!

I'll probably make a proper blog post about it later, but... I cut my hair! I bought one of those razor combs and went at it, aided by my old hair scissors. I have fucked up emo-ish bangs now. The downside of this is that I have to straighten my hair all the time... or else.

Also, I stopped shaving my goatee for the time being... my girlfriend isn't a fan but... I'll never know what I look like unless I let it grow just once ;-)
じゃあね！

I was poking around like usual and I saw... a chainsaw! Right next to the menstrual pads and incontinence underwear! You're kidding me!! I almost wish I had the 39 bucks to spend right now. It would be great for yard work....
Ahh, and imagine the photo ops provided by an honest-to-God chainsaw... especially in cosplay... oh, how I weep... and at the $39 price point, it's a steal! After getting home I looked it up and these apparently go for about $270 brand new. WTF. Maybe I'll come back for it...

In other news I lost like 4kg by mistake thanks to my prescription medication. Awesome. I'm back to what was previously the high end of my normal range.
Maybe one day I'll be as light as a feather just like Toda-sama... NOT.
Let me lay out the calculations for you: 48/(178^2) = BMI 15.15, severe thinness. To be the same as him I'd have to be 15.15*(1.61^2) = 39.27 KG. Do I look like the kind of guy to have that resolve?! Gah!!!

Ha. Aha. On my way to hang out with a buddy right now, but the track closures on the railroad are inconvenient. It's two buses when I prefer a bus and train.

My document issues at work seemed to persist through systems despite my emailing everything through long before my first day, and as my mentioning this on day two was enough to count as a disruption, I was dismissed. Shucks. Time to send out applications once again...

Oh, my new workstation is awesome though. Her name's Mirai. I'll say more after Friday, when I'll have some nicer cords and the opportunity to install Debian GNU/Linux on her. じゃあね〜

Ne, the Queen of Blogging is back!... no, it doesn't work if I'm not Toda.

As mentioned in my last blog, I got a full time job; I'm due to start on the 14th now that my document complications have been smoothed over. For now, I wait.

But in celebration... I bought myself a new computer! For only 310 AUD (including shipping), a beautiful Lenovo P410 which will arrive in about four days. It will keep me going for a long, long time. Maybe I'll fight to give it all 128GB of RAM it can hold! Hehehe...

Xeon inside. Xeons are fancy. I'm fancy.
