I saw a beautiful ancient Chinese bowl made from cinnabar in a museum a few months ago, and I can’t help but think how nice it would be to have a vase or something similar that was made out of this unusual stone. This actually isn’t a goal to be taken lightly, because I want to get something that has meaning to me, as well as make sure that I’m not going to be exposed to any risks as cinnabar is quite toxic, which is why it isn’t common in modern jewelry even though ancient cultures prized it.

I’ve been playing I Wanna Be The Guy since mid December and I’m finally in the Fortress of The Guy. This game is brutally hard and any sort of damage kills your character instantly. Save points are hard to get to and each screen can take upwards of 30 minutes to figure out.
I’ve been playing it on Hard mode, which is how it was designed to be played. You can find more about the game here http://kayin.pyoko.org/iwbtg/

It has been a while since I made this list and I’ve only done a few things on it so far, but this was the most pressing item and the hardest. I finished the spring 2007 semester of college barely in one piece, but I managed to stay in school and not drop out.
I failed two classes, one on epic literature that I was taking for my major, and another single credit Tae Kwondo class that I simply didn’t have the energy to keep up with. I got an A in Practical Reasoning, a B in American Literature, and a C in Human Biology. It was a rough semester but in the end I’m glad I stuck with it.
This last semester was easier. I got on the Dean’s List and got two A’s and two B+’s! I worked my ass off for it of course, but sometimes you just need to keep going one semester at a time.
