batskeetsI think this is a day for derogatory quotes about Asians. Because I am one, so I can get away with that. ;ppp
In a somewhat related vein, I've always thought it was dumb that certain words are reserved only for certain races, and whenever other people use them, it's insulting. The foremost example being when black kids call each other "nigga" and such, but *nobody else* can, even when using it in a totally friendly, non-racial-slur kind of context. If somebody were to refer to me as a "chink" or something, I wouldn't react differently based on the race of the person saying it. :p Either be insulted, or don't be insulted.
Anyhoo, this morning got off to a shaky start--I woke up maybe 5 minutes before the start of my shift at work. Aaaaaaaagh! Now things seem to be all good. Labs and discussions are being cancelled left and right because of the holiday, so the load grows lighter! Of course, I manage to pile more on top of it all, so call me smart. ;p
So yes, this afternoon I have to go throw money at Oregon Hall, and run a couple other errands that I can't currently recall. And I also have an appointment to get my glasses fixed/replaced. <3
My computery things are set to arrive early next week. If I'd been willing to shell out for shipping costs, I could have spent this weekend playing with it, but now is not the time to be *too* extravagant.
Anyhoo, I'm out for now.
