My hands are so cold, I'm having trouble typing

It's really nice when your student not only feeds you lunch, but buys too much so you end up with dinner and lunch the next day as well.

Am skipping kickboxing tonight. I almost went, but I've been sniffling and randomly coughing up yellow phlegm all day and even though I feel well enough to go, I doubt it'll be good for me. Not to mention, they're all probably very busy preparing for the taikai (competition) tomorrow. They barely had time for me a week ago, so I can imagine they'd not have much for me to do the day before the competition.

You are Strength

Courage, strength, fortitude. Power not arrested in the act of judgement, but passing on to further action, sometimes obstinacy.

This is a card of courage and energy. It represents both the Lion's hot, roaring energy, and the Maiden's steadfast will. The innocent Maiden is unafraid, undaunted, and indomitable. In some cards she opens the lion's mouth, in others she shuts it. Either way, she proves that inner strength is more powerful than raw physical strength. That forces can be controlled and used to score a victory is very close to the message of the Chariot, which might be why, in some decks, it is Justice that is card 8 instead of Strength. With strength you can control not only the situation, but yourself. It is a card about anger and impulse management, about creative answers, leadership and maintaining one's personal honor. It can also stand for a steadfast friend.

If that doesn't suit me, I don't know what does.

I have several things to do tonight such as finishing my masters app, writing my book and doing some other exercise to replace the lack of kickboxing. I'm actually not celebrating Thanksgiving until Sunday due to a tai chi competition I'm going to watch tomorrow, but on the plus side, my students last night suprised me by actually listing all the things they were thankful for when I explained thanksgiving to them (which was a bit of surprise since I'd only asked them to make words out of the phrase "happy thanksgiving").

One of my student's reads my livejournal *waves to her* and she told me that sometimes she thinks it's written in a language other than English *L* Fancy that, ne?

Reading -

I am seriously trying to decide how to throttle ff.net and their now horribly intrusive ads. the ads that show up when you try to get to a profile page are annoying but bearable, but the ones that hijack the page and litterally won't allow you to get out of them unless you press the back button at the exact right moment? Those ones need to die. I've tried blocking them, but I'm obviously not doing it right. Anyone know the script or can point me to direction on how to modify Firefox so it blocks a specific site permanently?

I'm still reading HP fic atm, oddly enough. Other than that, I read Marvel's 1602 spinoffs, A New World and FF4. A New World was excellent while FF4 suffers from... well, it's hard to explain other than all the men in it besides Grimm as assholes. That and it feels like a story set in the 1860's being told in the 1600s.

Avatar 2:18 was brilliant and I'm not just saying that cause it had Zuko shirtless and drenching himself with water most of the time;)

I was wondering why Lighto's seiyuu on Death Note sounded familar so I looked it up and it turns out he played Tamaki on Ouran High Host Club. Talk about a jump...
