silent_rock's Journal: regular flavor

When I buy the variety pack of instant oatmeal, I never eat the "Regular Flavor". As a result, the poor, scorned, "Regular Flavor" packs sit there forever, unloved. Last night I made some oatmeal-chocolate-chip cookies to show the love. One batch uses about 5 packs of "Regular Flavor". If I made 2 more batches I should be rid of those scorned packs. I looooove finishing off things, I hate left-overs or food sitting around forever.

While a teenager in school, Mishima's works were applauded by classmates and literary magazines. But when he graduated in post-war Japan, it tooks years before he was widely noticed. Still, he kept after it, night after night, for years, despite his father's disapproval. (Supposedly, his father would storm into his room and rip up his writing.) Later, his father told him, fine, be an author and devote all of your time to it, but if you do, become the best author in the land. It's hard to imagine living through the war in Japan. Someone likened it to being like Dostoyevsky, who was sentenced to death then spared at the last moment. Imagine being resigned to an imminent death, then all of a sudden being free. Mishima was sort of obsessed by death.

I fixed my 10 figures today, and wrote new captions. Happy!! MATLAB may ruin my night though. I just learn the same commands over and over every few years.

Everyone always says, "I hope he/she calls." Instead of CALLING HIM/HER THEMSELVES. But I would do the same thing. I hope he/she calls you too.

Yes, but . . .

I can't because he/she has someone and I'm not a thievish person. If he/she'd dump her/him I'd call right away. Thanks though.
