Abacus
I actualy have a pair at home (although one seems to be missing), not that I actually use it. Dean though was inquiring early (i.e. 1 am) this morning on how to use one and I do know the rudimentary rules of using it as an arithmetic calculator.
But just in case, I started surfing the Internet to brush up. Apparently, there's a Japanese and Russian abacus, as well as a computer program.
I think I'll just stick with the basics.
Bye Bye Bookfair
Had one last visit today and lo and behold, there were still a lot of comics.
I guess Harry Potter also stabilized at P780 and new stocks did arrive at the last minute for the National Bookstore/Powerbooks branch.
7 Hours of my Life
It took me fifteen minutes to run to Mega Mall from my house last night to meet up with my "friends into comics" (who can also be classified as "friends into porn"). And well, what was supposed to be a few hours turned into seven, and something like nine of us were cramped into a van... which wouldn't be so bad if the van in question didn't have only two rows of seats.
Since I was with older people, smoking and drinking (coffee) couldn't be avoided, but I don't do either (as well as eating). Still, it was nice seeing them. And it's strange admitting to people that I don't have a plan once I graduate, where under other circumstances, I should have a six digit bank account by now.
Vampire Orchid
That's my new name. The former because I only pop up at night, the latter since I don't seem to thrive on anything but air.
School for Gifted... Chinese
Xaverians have an innate sense that they can tell apart a Xaverian from a non-Xaverian (or an ICAn from a non-ICAn for that matter). It just surprised Vin at how accurate that sense is.
Maybe it's just because we've heard so much bullshit from school that we can identify it coming from each other.
