Apr. 8th, 2009 02:00 amWow. Like, 4 or 5 posts today/yesterday. Making up for lost time huh.
I watched the most recent episode of House tonight (I do occasionally watch House, just not regularly), you know the one where (spoilers) Kutner kills himself. But hey, congrats Kal Penn! You've come a long way since Harold and Kumar.
Anyway, I was watching, and got WICKED excited when the disease o'the week turned out to be visceral leishmaniasis.
I researched and wrote a very large report on visceral leishmaniasis (and it's protozoan, L. donovani) in my last year of college for my Bioinformatics class.
I've probably mentioned it a ton before, but whatev. My areas of study and research are infectious diseases (particularly special viral pathogens and vector borne protozoan diseases). So I get excited about stuff like that.
You should hear me talk about Malaria. Or Dengue. Or Trypanosoma. And do not get me started on Ebola or Marburg... I could talk for days.
Crap, have to sleep now!

Apr. 8th, 2009 08:59 amMore Big Bang stuff. Because I love them. God, YG, tell me when GD's album is coming out. PLEASE!
So, GD is my favorite. But VERY closely followed by TOP. So recently, I've been VERY impressed with TOP. Lollipop was his song, and he was adorable in the Hite CF. Add unto that a new drama coming out (IRIS, of which I am so looking forward to), an offer to star in a movie (which he didn't take, because the dork wanted to go back to Big Bang, so cute!), a possible solo album coming out... sometime, etc. He's HOT right now.
( He really looks good... )
Also, I found this article (Seeing double - Lee Min Ho and Big Bang TOP) highly amusing. Mmmmm guyliner.

Seriously fanfic, you kill me.
Apr. 8th, 2009 12:31 pmMore fun from the world of fanfic.
BAD fic summaries (I haven't read these fics, for all I know, they could be fabulous. But their summaries suck.)
"Thanks to her terrible judgment, Davina, a red-headed, green-eyed, ballerina finds herself engaging in an unlikely friendship" - (Gokusen) Do I detect a whiff of Mary Sue-ism?
"Amber Sou and Madalyn Niho are transfered to Shirokin High after being kicked out of their old school. What they don't know is that Shirokin High is an all boys school. What will happen when these two girls have to learn to deal with the demands of boys?" - (Gokusen) The demands of boys?! What?
"A faithful night for the famous star-crossed lovers. I suck at these. Please review !" - (HYD) Do they mean a FATEFUL night? I'm confused.
"A date with a temperature of Ten Degrees Celsius. She needs her strawberry and guess what happens when he forces her to cherry. The two Saturnians first one-shot of mine. Please Read, Review, Enjoy!" - (HYD) I honestly have no idea what is happening here.
"Two modern day kids Jess me and Justin end up in the feudal era. DISCLAIMER: I do not any characters in this fic!" - (Inuyasha) This makes no sense.
"A circle of purple smoke surrounded the dark haired goddess, her emerald eyes sad as she bid silent farewell to the Moon Queen. Once the smoke faded silent tears fell from silver eyes as her majesty hugged her womb with both arms. ‘Oh Serenity…" - (Sailor Moon) Metaphors much?
"Becky is the shy bookworm and best friend with Remus. She also has a crush on Sirius Black, the heartthrob who doesn't even know she exsist, but that will soon change." - (Harry Potter) I hate OCs!!
And finally, not bad, per se, but more OMG I NEED TO READ THIS NOOOOW.
"What do you think might of happened if Jun Pyo didn't remember Jan Di? Not wanting to see the woman he loves continue to get hurt, Ji Hoo takes matters into his own hands. JanDi/JiHoo/JunPyo. Tsukushi/Rui/Tsukasa" - (HYD, obvs)
