Vector: Procrastinating more by 8am than most people procrastinate all day.
She works more than me and procrastinates more than me. Vector, do your magical math magician powers give you more hours in the day or something?
TEACH THE CONTROVERSY, MAN.
And with that, all 50 planned memes have been executed today. It sure is fun babbling random stuff at people to fulfill hidden checklists.
In other news, I used the Microsoft IME touchpad (for writing Kanji) and half a dozen English-Japanese dictionaries to translate the shirt that I was wearing today, a shirt I got long before I had even considered taking Japanese. It's gray with a darker gray sketching of a dragon across it. On the right side is a thick line made to look like a brush stroke that fades from red to yellow. Along this stroke are three Kanji, and their meanings made me laugh myself sick.
1. The first one is undoubtedly 'plum'. There is no other meaning for this Kanji.
2. Kanji #2 is a fancier alternative writing of the Kanji for 'yin'. Unlike the primary Kanji, this one can also mean such things as 'darkness' or 'sex organs' or 'masculine'.
3. Kanji #3 is an incredibly rare form of 'yang' that looks vaguely fiery, this most likely being what prompted its use. It can sometimes mean 'yang', but more often sunshine, heaven, or rainbow.
I think the shirt was intended to just look cool. That's the only reason I can imagine someone sticking 'plum yin-yang' onto a shirt with a dragon. Alternatively, you can get these meanings.
Plum manly rainbows
Plum manly sunshine
Plum manly heaven
Plum genitalia rainbows
Plum genitalia sunshine
Plum genitalia heaven
Plum darkness rainbows
Plum darkness sunshine
Plum darkness heaven
"Plum genitalia sunshine" is the most common usage for all three Kanji though, and the reaction of my Japanese sensei was hilarious when I was translating aloud to myself.
