Saw "The Ghost in the Shell". Odd thing to be refreshed by, but I rather liked how small the final action scene was compared to the usual mainstream action/sci-fi/superhero film final scene. Like, there was just one _______, while most Hollywood films would think using six was restrained.

Didn't like the new Major, who is now basically Adam "I Didn't Ask For This" Jensen now. The rest of section nine - bloody nailed it, though. Batou was very... Batou-ish, for instance. Also fond of Aramaki.

... and I'm nigh bald again! Got a really short buzz cut again, that is.

All that community service money must have been transfered to Moscow - they're been replacing elevators and underground water/electricity/I-dunno-what-exactly communications here everywhere for the past several years straight.

Half my street has been dug up for some sort of repairs for past 15 years - that's as long I live in my current place of residence, three quarters my life.
On the other hand, they do get some shit done across the city. Although I'm still pissed everytime I see community workers pouring asphalt in a pothole literally filled with water or snow - the money we roll into the roads in this country is insane, but most of it diverges into private pockets. Shame, really. How do we even start to fix a system that's untouchable from the top, inaccessible from the bottom and has rotten parts all over the middle?

That was actually on the show.

I have, over the course of a month, consumed like a kilogram of honey by making black tea with lemon slice and a teaspoon of it. This is my favorite sweet beverage. Can't stop, won't stop.

Exactly what she said, too!
I've always wondered how to feel snow, and by just seeing it in many situations, I can imagine its feel.

...It's like cold, hard/soft detergent bars, right? Or that really soft shaved ice bits?

Theoretically, if it's snowy outside, you dress in such a manner that you do not get any on your skin.

If snow is gently falling upon you in big flakes, it feels like soft cold touches of heaven. Blizzard, on the other hand, can feel like ice cold very coarse sandpaper continuously and vigorously rubbed against any exposed patch of your skin. Wet snow feels like misery - ditto, Giglamesh.
