ahhhhhhh i just finished my christmas shopping for dad. i got him some books and 2 seasons of the sopranos, i think he will enjoy. tomorrow i'm gonna take the metro in to work with dad and get stuff for my mom downtown.

this snowstorm, coupled with winter break, has made me starved for human contact. unfortunately it's so close to the holidays that nobody can really hang out. and i still haven't made plans for new year's - i got invited to hang out with someone i really hate, so i'm gonna try to avoid that, but i also don't want to just sit at home and do nothing. why don't people i like ever invite me to do shit? also, what's wrong with me that i haven't gotten my driver's license yet?

anyway, i bought volume 2 of dogs at borders. i don't even know what viz is doing with the translations. it really is like hank and bradley's adventures. they translated whatever it was that giovanni said to fruhling before they headed out as "Taking the lads out for a hike?"

TAKING THE LADS OUT FOR A HIKE

TAKING THE LADS OUT FOR A HIKE

they also translated fruhling as saying "Farewell, little prince Giovanni." where the fuck did they get the 'prince' from? and instead of having badou going "fa-fa-fa-family should not fight! my brothers! all of you shut up and fuck off!" it said "n-n-n-nobody gives a shit about your stupid freakin sibling rivalry! all of you can just fuck off!!" WHAT? WHAT????? THAT SOUNDS SO FUCKING STUPID i mean is it intentional, them making badou sound like (even more of) a retard - and giovanni like the token homo? well, hey, the bright side is i get to see everything in its full scenic glory. also naoto's nakedness without jpg compression. :)

ah, and turns out that jumpsuit badou wore for a while is camouflage. who the fuck wears a camouflage jumpsuit is what i'd like to ask. with red hair and green clothes he's bound to look like a fucking eyepatched christmas tree. tis the season, i guess.

oh but since i'll be in downtown dc tomorrow, would anyone wanna meet up for a bit?

I finally decided to do an info post. I also moved the stuff I had on my profile to the info post because I got fed up with how cluttered the profile looked. I'll let the profile code stay until I can think of something else to put there. I'll also probably pretty the info post up somehow, but sure as hell not now.

Nothing else, really. I've got a cold and I've felt a bit shitty for a couple of days but other than that I'm fine. Still haven't tried ACII out, too busy trolling Templars in AC.

Title: Hostile Ardor Chapters 1 and 2
Fandom: Death Note and Death Note: Another Note
Pairing: BxMisa with some LxMisa and BxL
Genre: Angst/Romance
Rating: T
Warnings: Rated T for light swearing. Rating may go up. Also AU warning, obviously since BxMisa is complete crack.
Word Count: 6,449 total
Summary: "He is the light that you will keep on chasing, and I am the darkness that you will never escape.."
Disclaimer: I do not own Death Note or it's characters.
A/N: This fic is based on TouchMyMafia's shipping of the BxLxMisa relationship. Since BxL and LxMisa has been explored, I decided to try and figure out how exactly Beyond and Misa act towards each other and what their relationship actually is. It will go into dark territory, as I am especially inspired by L stating in Rewrite 2 that "She, too, has a dark side." In Progress.

Chapter One: The Reveal
Chapter Two: First Meeting

(There's also a short story that actually spawned this fic on my ff.net account as well if anyone's interested)

So I'm finishing up a course on Physics, Energy & the Environment, and I have a few problems giving me a really hard time. I've approached the one that follows in several ways and am not coming up with anything near the answer I am supposed to get.

"The oceans contain about 1.3x10^24cm^3 of water. Deuterium constitutes .028% (.00028) by MASS of natural Hydrogen. What is the total energy (in Joules) available from this deuterium via D-D fusion? Assume 4.0 MeV per fusion event. (ans 3.9x10^30J) For how many years could fusion reactors of 50% efficiency supply a power requirement of 2.0 million MW?" (ans. 3x10610 years)

Ok, so I know I have to figure out how much H is in the water to figure out how much D is in the water, so I can't just multiply 1.3x10^24 by .00028, but using 11.11% (2 H to 16 O in H2O by mass) got me an end result way too small. I also know to convert MeV to J (1.062x10^-13), and I guess we're assuming all of the D will be fused. None of my answers come close, and the book doesn't have a similar example. I can't ask my prof about this because he's just not helpful and I'm p.o.'d at him and that's another story. Anyone have thoughts on setting this up? Seems it should be as easy as getting the amount of H from the water, multiplying that by .00028, multiplying that by 4MeV and tada! but if I don't get the first steps right, we all know what happens after that. I don't think I need Avogadro's number as I don't have moles (and this book hasn't used it really). The book also mentions earlier that D constitutes one in 7000 H, so @3500 water molecules are HDO but I don't think this is useful. I'd like to believe I'm missing something obvious here. Ideas?

Thanks!

anoher simple one :) full preview is under the cut, along with another version, codes and rules. please read them before you use :)

Does anyone know where I can get textures like these but larger? (light pinks and blues)
