Regret of the day: Not choosing a username I can pronounce.

Hm.

I tend to guess

Z (American)
ae (Greek)
r (short r in Russian/Japanese/Spanish)
o (American)
sz (Polish/Russian sh, as written "sz" in Polish)

...

I need less spare time.

More like more spare time!  With that you'll be able to make more posts and translate names in languages I can't even fathomably read or even say.  I know I'd want more spare time, then I could just do more stuff?

When I'm on the computer I have a tendency to remove the cap on my wireless mouse and absently mess around with it, twirling it in my hands and the like.  I took it off, then went and did something else for a while, and when I came back to the computer I realized I had forgotten to put it back on and I don't know where I put it.
Surprisingly common.  So common, in fact, that there was an entertaining article about how it's your mind intentionally trying to rid you of excess clutter.

Although it is very annoying.  Quite how I can loose an Xbox controller I'm playing with, or a watch which I have no reason to remove is beyond me.

I don't know how much anyone appreciates that, so I mean only that I need to busy myself more with doing things that will annoy other people less.

I'd like to do more stuff, but since by "spare time" I mean "time spent goofing off on B12," I can in fact do more stuff while having less spare time.

I have all these awesome, time devouring games that I would love to play right now, like the Baldurs Gate line or the Icewind Dale line. My computer hates them and will not play them.

How much impact did this really have on my life?
In retrospect it would make so much sense, should it had really been at work. On the other hand it might just have been coincidence, people being like they always were.

I'm not diagnosing myself with anything, I just enjoy thinking up hypothetical scenarios and put high value on self-refelction.
Nevertheless, I shall keep an eye on myself, during any prospective inter-human relationships.

Why is it so hard to find reasonably priced, high-quality dolls? D:
I found a good Japanese one, but I nearly did a spit-take when I saw the price tag of 42,000 yen.
Then there's a good American one I'd like, but 86 dollars.
This is worse than buying 40k stuff.

For that matter, what do you mean by "doll." Tghe term is fairly generic.

Looking for a 1:6 scale doll.
This is the aforementioned 86 dollar one.
Should give you an idea of the kind of face I'm going for.
It seems most American ones have seriously ugly faces, while most Japanese ones are too anime-style or heavily disproportionate.
Oh, and I should mention: I care more about face than outfit.
A new outfit can always be purchased later, or I can make one myself.
Though, that white SS uniform is ungodly sexy.

And yet... she looks more Russian than German to me.  How weird.

Wow. They really phoned-in the censoring on some of those outfits, especially the armband on the white one.

Today is the day when I shall quit one of my jobs. I can't keep up, and I'm not giving them the devotion and effort that they deserve. I can't stand doing sub-par work, so I have to just let it go.
