Chasing After Rainbows

actual size (800*600) Using the same browser I had always been running (Firefox 3.03), but in a different operating system (Xubuntu 8.04) and resolution via a x86 virtualization software, I find it quite disturbing to see the above for one of my blogs . Sure it display stuff correctly, but some of the stuff are hard to see or either get cut off when it reaches outside the allocated area or spill into neighboring areas. I normally view my pages in 1280*800 and 1024*768 resolutions, but VirtualBox (unlike Virtual PC ) would somehow not allow me to view at resolutions larger than 800*600. It also seems like I need to revamp my navigation menu again...

As mentioned in the previous post , I am still feeling sleepy but had more sleeping time. The thing is that I am feeling even more sleepier. I couldn't concentrate in class with all that tiredness. To make matters worse, there was physical classes today with running. I then reached home in the evening, dead tired. It's a good thing I took the bus home instead of the subway: I find it hard to find a place to sit on the train these days from the crowd and all that tiredness, even during off-peak times or the least crowded parts of the train. I think I better start sleeping earlier and watch recorded late night anime later on. Seeing that I sleep for 9 hours (2AM to 11AM) on days I have nothing until mid-afternoon onwards, I think I should start sleeping from 9PM onwards. P.S. It seems that Yukari didn't like the new layout I put up on our drawings blog earlier. Hmm...

[actual date of post: Wednesday, 29 October @ 22:37] After spending the whole day (Mon, 27 Oct) doing stuff, including the most recent vector trace , I head to bed an hour earlier than normal (1:00AM). Well, sure, my body would be sleeping by then, seeing that I find my body hard to move and that my eyes are trying to shut close, giving other people the impression that I really am asleep. The problem is that I remain mentally awake, so I had to endue unknown amount of time in boredom, the itches (if any) and noise from the outside. By then, it would be time to wake up for school as it's quite some distance from home. I could leave later, but the buses and trains would be full of people that I may have to stand. To tell you the truth, earlier on in the day, I visited my uncle (whom I hardly know of) who was hospitalized the week before and was diagnosed for diabetes. I don't know much about the details behind that, but I went back home and to sleep somewhere in the aftern...

I woke up and opened my eyes, but it doesn't seem to make a difference: I can't tell if I had gone blind or if the room I'm in now is pitch black. I hear nothing but deafening silence. I was also unable to move any part of my body as earlier. Where am I? What is this place? How did I end up here? That was one of the few questions I asked myself at first. Well, I'm certain that I'm not lying on the road in front of the train station I was at. All of a sudden, the lights came on and I heard familiar voices in front of me. I can't see who it was though as the light was blinding me and my hearing is kind of muffled for some reason. When my vision got clearer, the friend I saw after I was knocked down was standing next to the director of the company I work for quite closely, though the former looked younger than the former. Do they know each other? Looking at the screen behind them, I saw myself on some kind of bed, appearing as though I had died after being kno...

The shower heater at home broke down for quite some time now. If the heater were to switched on when using it, sparks would fly off from the side and a strong burning smell would be produced. Not that I'm bothered by it, but with the end of the year in slightly more than 2 months from now, the water would be very cold, especially in the morning. I don't know when it would be replaced; it's was there 12 years ago...

When it comes to being on time, I would either arrive early or on time, but never late unless I knew of it later or are beyond my control. If the event did not start at the stated time and was not informed of delays, I would wait for a while before leaving. How long I would wait depends on how early I arrived, purpose of the event, location, time, and the people I'm waiting for. I have a low patience level, but I don't like things to be rushed either. Speaking of which, anime that seems to go on forever , might attract my interest at first and is popular too, but I would get bored with the pace of progress, amount of filter episodes and stuff that I didn't like which happened later on.

I ordered food and then joined my group of friends shortly to have lunch together. We talked about various stuff, like exploring the various areas of the school like the other day. The tallest hill in the campus has a nice view of a lake, the entire school, and the greenery around it. We went there and lay down under the tree. Since the tree is large, the area beneath it is large enough for children to run around in the shade. The air there was so nice that my friends had easily fallen asleep the moment they lay down against the tree trunk. As they were sleeping, I took out my notepad out of my skirt pocket and wrote down notes about everything I observed about Haruna until a while ago and put it in back in to show the people at work later on. I wanted to write this earlier, but the cafeteria had too many people and who knows how my friends would react if they saw it. I woke up my friends when lunch was about to end. It seems like they weren't even aware that they had fallen asle...
