First of all, a funny video response to that racist UCLA girl from the other day. The chorus KILLS me as does this line: 'It's alright, Alexandra. I know you know nothing about tsunamis. I just want to make sure you know that it's not a type of sushi.' ♥

And here's an awesome video of Saturn using real pictures and not CGI.

I hung out with my friend today. Thankfully not until later in the afternoon so I could sleep in a bit. I read some of Fragile Things while she had her MRI. It was nice to get out though and I felt hungry enough to eat and enjoy some really good Chinese food. I also got a cupcake/cake holder/carrier thingy so I can transport my goodies a lot more easily now. Next thing I get will be a stand mixer because it would make my life a little easier and I could finally make my own frosting! Too bad they cost so much. At least it'll be something of an investment towards my future. I resisted buying nail polish at Sephora though so yay me ;)

I got a letter from the unemployment people and I have a phone interview scheduled for the 28th of this month. I hate that crap. I just feel all awkward talking on the phone and even though I'm not lying about anything, I still feel guilty for some reason. I'm just trying for the hell of it while I look around and look into maybe school. I'm not expecting anything really.

I don't really have any plans for tomorrow, or today I guess. I don't drink but my friends do so that kind of rules out a lot. I need to clean my room, paint my nails, I don't know. Friday I'm going out though. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost's movie, Paul, comes out and I'm seeing it even if I have to go alone. Which I will be. Sunday though we're supposed to see my friend because her birthday is today but she's busy.

Oh! Does anyone have the audiobook of Good Omens that they could upload to Megaupload for me? I'm still kind of scared of Mediafire.

I'm offering icons over at help_japan. Click the picture for my thread/offer :)



I'm also planning on going to Jtown tomorrow and picking up some candy and treats to make a little package to auction off. I'll post a link to that later.

The news about Japan just keeps getting worse D:

[9:54 p.m. ET, 11:54 a.m. Tokyo] A meltdown may have occurred at at least one nuclear power reactor in Japan, the country's chief cabinet secretary, Yukio Edano, said Sunday.

He also said that authorities are concerned over the possibility of another meltdown at a second reactor.

Also a good place for news: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-12724953

Videos like the one below are so mind boggling. You can see the ground swaying back and forth and the water underneath coming through. You can hear the waves on what used to be solid land.



If you are able, give what you can to places like:

* Red Cross
* help_japan (I'm thinking of offering icons or something. I always feel weird, like my stuff isn't worth money, but I'd like to help anyway I can)
* Lady Gaga has Japan Earthquake Relief Wristbands. They're only $5 and "Little Monsters, show your support for Japan with this "We Pray For Japan" wristband! Choose your price to add an additional donation with your wristband. All proceeds go directly to Japan relief efforts."
* Groupon
* Japan Society (which also has links on how to find and contact people in Japan)
