Does anyone have any upcoming summer plans?
Well this is good timing to answer! (Dat 6 month delay doe...) I'm going camping with kay and my family to South Aus for New Year's. Should be better now that I've got a folding seat for back support, so can game/animu easier.

Ummm... I recall handling the Mothership when it fell out of my car last week or so. For those who don't know, the Mothership was the initial balloon that kay and I filled with virus-infected breath when we were sick a year ago. I drew a bacteriophage drawing on one side, and "BALLOON FILLED WITH DEATH" on the other. These days, it's an uninflated shell of its former self.

Hell yeah!~

How do you feel about the idea of creating a truly sentient AI (i.e. an artificial intelligence that can think and feel, just as we do)?
Alright I guess. In any luck, it'd kill everything. Negative utilitarianism ftw?

In studies where animals are tested upon (being humanely killed and dissected, to investigate these instances), where do you draw the line on it being okay?
To develop a new drug to cure leukaemia in children
To ensure that a new drug to cure leukaemia in children is safe and effective
To enable a scientist to study how the sense of hearing works
To test whether a garden insecticide will be harmful to people
To test whether an ingredient for use in cosmetics will be harmful to people
Somewhere in the middle of garden insectiside. Funny how people see anyone below them on the scale as disgusting, and anyone above them as getting in the way.

What was the last anime you marathoned through?
Love Live, Noragami, or Overlord.

when was the last time you went on a vacation?
Mid-year. Went to Vietnam.

What was the last thing you bought?
Groceries.

Mostly, yeah.

Autumn. It's nice and cool, and has my b'day. I hate Spring, it can't decide between too hot and too cold.

What is your favourite song and look up an AMV with it.
Obligatory Sugar Sweet Nightmare?

(Haven't watched, 'cause maybe spoilers?)

do you turn off your cellphones whenever the vehicle you are riding stops at a gas station for a refill?
Nah, I just leave it locked.

What was the last song to get stuck in your head?
Bokutachi wa Hitotsu no Hikari. The ending song of the Love Live move. It's an amazing song and it makes me sad.

What's (one of) your favourite movie(s)?
Can't think of anything non-anime, so I'll just say either Disappearance of Haruhi, or Love Live.

What was the last thing you waited untik the very last minute to do?
Packing the cats I guess? Left like 30mins before the landlord was supposed to arrive. No sense having cats locked up for longer than they need to be.

how many apps are there currently running on your taskbar?
Three. Chrome, Notepad, and Deluge.

What is keeping you occupied lately?
Tidying the house, mainly. Other than that, trying to drive away bad thoughts by distracting myself with vidya and animu.

What's your current desktop and/or mobile wallpaper?
Phone is currently a NicoMaki thing (I should get kay to change it, it's been there long enough). As of minimising this to go look at my desktop, it is currently a thing of Hanekawa. I should add more wallpapers to my rotator... I got a bunch of Overlord ones yesterday. Most of what I could find was Albedo, and I do like her, but I'd like some more variation...

What subject did you hate the most in school/uni and why?
Either English, Physics, and now that Core reminded me, Religious studies.
English: I'm too finnicky at writing to structure an essay in a time limit, and I hated pretty much every book that they forced us to read, such that I didn't properly read most of them.
Physics: It's too theory-based for my brain to get the concepts.
Religious studies: Partly because it was compulsory, partly because I've always been athiest, and partly because of how vague everything was. Eg, one lesson, Teacher says "Draw Jesus." I ask "What does he look like?" Teacher replies along the lines of "No one knows~" I'd so laugh right now if I drew him to be of a darker skin colour (like he obviously would be if he existed), and then the teacher goes nuts.

What color is the sky?
Somewhere around 492 - 455nm. This is caused by light from the sun entering our atmosphere and scattering on the molecules of water in all directions. Light of shorter wavelength (blues and violets) scatters more than those of longer wavelength (reds and oranges, etc), so the blue light fills the sky before getting to our eyes.

if you are given the chance to be re-incarnated as a fruit, what fruit would you be?
A banana. I could get infected with that fungus that wiped out the previous breed of banana, spread it to my brethren, and kill us all. Other than that, bananas rot quickly and make nearby fruit ripen and rot due to release of the hormone, ethylene.

What was the last movie you watched, that at the time of viewing was the first time you had seen it?
The Sixth Sense. My mum spoiled the end near the start of watching... :/

What is the last anime you wish hadn't ended or had been a little longer?
Overlord. It's so good, and I can tell they have a lot more story to tell.

how would you describe the last person you talked to today in one word?
"Nya." (Last talked to kay)

What was the last thing you cooked?
I helped kay make fried rice the other week?

What have you done so far today?
Trawl JDO and Facebook. Love Live app. Answering questions.

when was the last time you sent someone a merchandise?
I ordered a Homestuck shirt for kay? Well, she ordered when there was a sale, and we figured cost > surprise.

what have you done this weekend?
I went to the city with friends to watch Love Live movie in theatre.

do you think animals have the same level of emotions as to us humans?
Not the same level, but they do have at least some.

What was the last thing you knew you had to do and yet decided not to do it anyway?
Brush my teeth...

Which member of your family do you like the most?
My dad.

where will you be on Christmas eve?
With my parents.

Last week I asked you which family member you liked the most. Now, which family member do you like the least/dislike most?
My mum. She's offensive, racist, sexist (despite being female), ableist (despite having mental conditions), and can't follow any instructions I give. *deep breaths now...*

what was the last thing you waited for?
My Love Live bar to refill.

And @Supernatural-Knight here's the movie loot~
The top three (different ordering) of kay and I. We did get another, but it was best girl for a friend who wasn't able to get it.

 

Also, how is physics too theoretical, you can just go outside and test it.

 

As in, there are so many tiny details in equations that would only work under conditions too pure to be achieved.

 

Wednesday: I'll be working graveyards Christmas eve, Christmas night and the following 2 nights as well. Can you say holiday pay?

 

Sunday's question: What are you planning on giving to your friends/family for Christmas?

 

Coal

 

Friends: Famous Pizza Sauce from the town I live in as they go GAGA over it
Wife: Expensive shit......
Kid: Even more expensive shit.......
Parents: 50$ worth of something
Brothers and sister: Christmas Cards with my boy on it!

 

Sunday: Books for my mother.
Gift card for my step father and siblings.
Gloves and cinema tickets for my father.

Monday: what the last good news you received?

I passed all my classes, moving on to University.

Your equations were probably simplified ones so it's easier to wrap one's head around.

I had a nightmare this weekend, dreamt I still had to take bio classes (I study physics).

 

Monday: My Sister is having a baby girl!

 

sunday: just a family bonding to our respective parents (well this year i wont be with them). maybe things will be different on new years eve.

monday: no good news yet.

wednesday:
have you finished preparing your presents?

 

More or less, gotta go buy a gift card, besides that everything is wrapped already.

 

Monday's question: with the holiday season, were there any forgotten stories about your childhood that were brought up?

So French is my first language, but I've attended English schools, so very early on I had to learn English.

Apparently my teacher would've asked me what "chat" (cat) was in English, I got that right. Funny thing is: cat sounds a bit like "quatre" (four). Then she asks what dog is in English.

So I said "cinq" (five).
I may have blushed when this came up.

 

Oh my God serieux! lol trop comique!

For me my mother was reading us a Christmas story when I was like 9 years old and as my mother was ready and saying the following sentence....


Et Tante Berna (HUGE FART SOUNDS)

Well boy did we ever laugh now its always et Tante Bernaprrrout!

 

Very late Monday's question: Did you take new year's resolutions?

I never do, but I intend to focus on school this year.

 

I usually don't stick with them....I'm hoping I do this year

 

Sunday's question: What's the last exciting thing you've seen?

 

On screen: Watching Parasyte, so I guess that
IRL: Last night a pack of coyotes were across the street when I was going outside to get my tablet at work. Nearly shit myself and booked my ass back inside

 

Sunday: I don't know, a breathtaking landscape I guess.

Monday: What is the latest piece of fiction that you read?

I'm reading Spice and Wolf on paper, and on my tablet I'm reading the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
Two books, because I don't like to transport my paper copies. Probs gonna read the next two novels about Haruhi afterwards.

 

Monday: I'm currently reading The Gargoyle and Frankenstein for my English class.
