Here, I'm going to crack some nuts I've been keeping for these days.
[Nut No.1]
Thursday, regularly, we had a lab meeting this afternoon, began at 2PM.
Thursday, regularly, we had a lab meeting this afternoon, began at 2PM.
Went into the room, our boss and a few others were already in there. Instead of having a seat, he was like doing something with the tables.
The table in the room was not the common one which is just one big thick board, it had an irregular shape and actually contains several pieces – more accurately, 4 pieces in center and another 4 pieces were beside the two ends of it.
Seemed our boss was not comfortable with the arrangement of the sided 4 pieces. I mean, the central 4 pieces could fit perfectly with others and thus the 4 pieces formed a large table surface, but the other sided 4 pieces could not. They were putting there, seemed to be fine, but they did not look being in harmony with the central ones.
"Maybe these two pieces" – our boss looked at the 2 beside him – "are actually fitting with the other side." So he moved one of the 2 pieces to the other side.
But the piece was just not fitting.
"Maybe you can try to rotate it by 90 degrees." said one.
Still did not work.
"Well…" he moved that piece back. Meanwhile, we were going to ignore the table pieces and to have our seats. Yet, our boss was still figuring out how to arrange them.
We had to follow his enthusiasm – to figure out arranging the pieces!!
Yet, eventually, our conclusion was, the 4 side pieces did not fit the central table actually and thus can only form another separate table.

Continuing to where I stopped for [No.1], it was about today's 2 hours and 30 minutes long lab meeting!

2 hours and 30 minutes!!!
It was the second time we had such a long meeting since I came in this lab.

In today's meeting, one was talking about her project. If it was in a seminar-like way, she could have finished within 40 minutes. Sadly, I have to say, our boss was asking all the time, and that was why it lasted so long.
During it, I was even drooping off, lol
When she finally finished the main part, it was 10 to 4. However, she did have something new and our boss would like to see them, orz.
What I remembered clearly was that, our boss looked at his watch and said, "heck, maybe I could just have to shut up."
Yes, YOU COULD HAVE… -___-
I also remember once when it was another one's turn to show the lab a published research paper, he printed out the copies and handed out to each of us.
"Nice paper!" immediately got the paper, one exclaimed.
Indeed, that paper contained only 3 pages, including the reference!
See, lab meetings are absolutely rubbish! :P

I was on strike in the last week.
I was on strike in the last week.
I was in berserk mode to translate KOKIA's blog posts for her 2010 Europe tour.
Ohh, she wrote too much!!!
But there were a lot of beautiful photos, I was very, very satisfied!
Until October 18, I had a seminar, so I was busy preparing for that, and did not do too much for the translation work. When I finally ended the seminar, and checked my rss reader again…
Man, she posted around 10 new posts!!!
Thus, I was in berserk mode. XD
To be honest, I did this translation work JUST FOR FUN…
When I finished those new posts, and took a free weekend, I found there were another 8 new posts waiting for me…
Hmm, okay, I'll just be in berserk mode again, and here came her end of this year's Europe tour, so I would not face more posts from this series. Yet, I was really willing to do the work, superb~

I was talking about the song "Afezeria HARVESTASYA." and its context with a friend till 1:30AM and we had not finished yet. So we continued our discussion in the next morning, for another 3 hours…

During that, I read the lyrics and the story again and again… had never been so crazy before!! XD

I registered on a website called "National Novel Writing Month", and was going to do it in November. Ohh, but my current planning novel should be longer than that, as far as I know…

But I will just try. Good chance to push my pending-yearly novel a little bit!
And now, with the last a few days of October, I gotta get rid off all other trivia!!!!!

As what I said in last post, my google talk was dead. I could log in with a green dot beside my name, but I could not see anyone in my list. I could not search for any of my contacts either. More weird, if I log in with another account, it worked fine, but I could see my dead account online!!!! orz

I know it must be because the plugin I used for foobar to display track information into google talk; every time such thing happens, the plugin was in use. I had deleted that and promised not use it anymore.
My google talk revived 2 days later… bad luck, do not want to mention this anymore… x__x

I think I have been nuts for a long time, and I will see how nuts I can be in future.

Moreover, this blog post itself is nuts enough already. X3
