I keep thinking about that stupid doctor and whether or not she blabbed or not. The uncertainty wears on me and makes me overthink.

Mom, didn't really say one way or another but did mention it so I think even if she does know, she's letting me have my privacy which is a good thing because I thought of killing her if she pushed it.

What was she going to push was the question. Ronquillo. I don't even remember meeting her.

Three of them came to the apartment, it was practically a bum rush situation. I was on the floor while they all sat on the couch. That was too much kenjou.

Gabby is a smart girl, I feel like it will work out fine, she at least respects me enough to schedule fun events. I really want to go to the cat place. I want a cat so bad. I would name them Fredrick.

Don't judge a gift horse's teeth... hmm... yea it is important not to nitpick a gift, but when the horse is given as a joke, is really wrong to question it? What if it is a trojan horse? I don't really feel like I am in trouble with anything since, language and culture are closely related, there is going to be variances in how to it is developed. Noam Chomsky....

Chomsky and Herman had both faint praise and criticism for Ponchaud's book Cambodia: Year Zero, writing on the one hand that it was "serious and worth reading, as distinct from much of the commentary it has elicited", and on the other that "the serious reader will find much to make him somewhat wary. "They wrote that the refugee stories of Khmer Rouge atrocities "must be considered seriously", but should be treated with great "care and caution" because "refugees are frightened and defenseless, at the mercy of alien forces. They naturally tend to report what they believe their interlocuters wish to hear."

That sort of fascinates me that Noam Chomsky actually might've been splitting hairs for the Cambodians. It brings up all those sort of ideas of what happens in the morally grey areas that come up through life.

I guess what is the difference between interpreting and translating. Interpreting requires and understanding of the culture to be able to decipher subtleties of the language. Translation is just understanding it within the realm of the language, knowing how it works and the structures usually of the written form. Interpreting is way more personal of work. I was never comfortable with that. I guess with a few people, if I felt I understood where they were coming from.

I am pretty sure some of the links I was thinking about before have already been automated. I need to find my glasses and gym bottle. They took that on purpose I am guessing. Roxie and Jessica are fucking evil.

I remember when I made my character Nemesis, or I was very fascinated with that concept, that there is an angel or goddess that deals out karma, basically. She did have her sister Tosh who was specifically good luck or those sort of winfall sort of deals, but that sort of isolates nemesis as a primarily, sort of vengeful character. Which isn't necessarily so...Ai described her as being guide and I found that idea quite interesting, because you'd think she was just a coup de grace sort of character, but to judge actions I guess you'd have to be observant to the whole process.

Morally grey indeed.

I kept talking to Zach about Pixie Road, this is sort of ridiculous. I don't know if I should talk about Pixie Road if it is already past made. I need a new computer.
