So...delicious...

Doesn't this look so good? I'm salivating. I want some right now. Could also be the fact that I'm quite hungry at the moment. It's just so beautiful and tasty-looking! Oh yes, and this is a pretty mousse dessert by Osamu Uchida.

Don't Quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will;
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill;
When the funds are low and the debts are high;
And you want to smile but have to sigh;
When care is pressing you down a bit--
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Success is failure turned inside out;
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;
And you can never tell how close you are;
It may be near when it seems afar.
So, stick to the fight when you're hardest hit;
It's when things go wrong that you musn't quit.

The Call

It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word

And that word grew louder and louder
Till it was a battle cry

I'll come back,
When you call me
No need to say goodbye.

Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never been this way before.
All you can do is try to know who your friends are
As you head off to the war.

Pick a star on the dark horizon and follow the light
You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye.
You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye.

Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and no one knows yet.
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget.

Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
Till they're before your eyes.

You'll come back when they call you,
No need to say goodbye.
You'll come back when they call you,
No need to say goodbye.

-Regina Spektor

After Hours.

I love this song. And it's been stuck in my head all day and after hours. Also, the animation is adorable and pretty good, I think.

A Great Joke from my Astronomer Professor.

Descartes was sitting at a cafe, smoking his cigar. A waiter came up and asked him, "Would you like some more coffee, monsieur?" And Descartes said, "I think not." And he disappeared.

Who knew math and science guys could be so witty?

Saying goodbye to Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr...

I will not be a slave to social networking sites. I will not subject myself to things that society says we need to have. I can survive without it. I can survive without the need to conform to everyone else. I will do it, and I'll feel better because of it. I am not a slave to these social networking sites, and I will not be.

O Me! O Life!

O ME! O life!... of the questions of these recurring;
Of the endless trains of the faithless—of cities fill’d with the foolish;
Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?)
Of eyes that vainly crave the light—of the objects mean—of the struggle ever renew’d;
Of the poor results of all—of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me;
Of the empty and useless years of the rest—with the rest me intertwined;
The question, O me! so sad, recurring—What good amid these, O me, O life?
Answer. That you are here—that life exists, and identity;
That the powerful play goes on, and you will contribute a verse.

-Walt Whitman, 1900.

Going Mad.

I'm more social than I let everyone else on to be. It's just hard to express myself to people, I guess. I love people but I can't seem to be all that much of an invigorating speaker to keep people interested. I just don't know what to do or say. I haven't really gone out to dinner with anyone for awhile because everyone else has someone else to have dinner with. It's really depressing, actually, and I've been holed up in my room for awhile. I hate it. I need to find something to do before I go insane! I used to be able to stay in all day doing nothing, but it's not like that any longer. I need something to do. NOW. Although that's not going to happen. Ugh. I suppose I could do homework, but that's for tomorrow. What am I going to do? I feel pretty lame right now, sitting here the whole day, doing things, being anti-social. I try to be social, really, but it's hard when everyone's got someone else and I've got no one. I can't even imagine being at a bigger school. That would've driven me nuts.

Also, today is a rap day. Mm mm, British and French rap!
