The tiny ultra-sonic fogger I recently placed in my indoor fountain effectively cleans the minuscule lime cover that stuck on the wide transparent blue glass bowl I've been using for indoor fountains over the past 20 years, resulting in two things:
First, the riffled transparent blue glass bowl is beautifully shiny again, adding a lot more flair to the LED lighting attached to the fogger.
Second, despite using distilled water for it, I now have to change the 2.5 liters in the bowl every other day until the lime is gone, or there is this ugly dust flake-like flotsam twirling in the bowl.
I should get a larger model to use on the bathtub...

I love watching catastrophe movies. I really do. They're great entertainment.
Mostly because I always lmao about how much scientifically impossible rubbish can be squeezed into an average of two hours. (Few exceptions exist, most notably "Dante's Peak", which went to lengths displaying what was then state of the knowledge about a Plinian eruption. I specifially name it, because that was *such* a positive surprise in the cinema back then.)
It looks as if Emmerich's 2012 will not be such an exception.
I'll better do more midriff exercises before watching that one...
This is not the official trailer. This is a "documentary" about the improbabilities already found in the trailer.

Using LJArchive's word count tool on my Insanejournal resulted in some weird discoveries:
The most often used word with at least four letters as of today before this post is "Subaru" (1563 + 267 "Subaru's"), followed by "Seishiro" with 1329 (+ 331 "Seishiro's") and "Tokyo" at 400 is a distant third to those two. I used "Sakurazukamori" exactly as often as "coffee" (139)! The "Sumeragi" (246) are mentioned twice as often as the "Sakurazuka" (123). "Fanfic" equals "magic" with 108, while "marks" are one count before "phone" (110 to 109). "Kill", "nice", "fandom", "final" and "thanks" form a group with 61 counters each, followed by "japan", "blossoms", "Fuma", "inside" and "pentacle" with 60 and I'm ("Kniggendorf") an "illusion" at 76!

...when being worn out is spent watching all 15 episodes of Leiji Matsumoto's "Cosmowarrior Zero" (13 serial eps and 2 tv specials) in one go from 10:00 to somewhat 18:30, with brief interruptions to refill coffee and creme softcake. ♥
And to top it off, I don't even have to develop a bad conscience about it, because my data analysis laptop was running an extensive system check after an unexpected crash this morning and nicely recovered around 17:55! ♥ ♥
On an afterthought: I absolutely need Zero and Captain Harlock icons now!

Ganked from ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) solo: the unread book meme
What we have here is the top 106 books most often marked as "unread" by LibraryThing's users. As in, they sit on the shelf to make you look smart or well-rounded. Bold the ones you've read, underline the ones you read for school, italicise the ones you started but didn't finish.

status of chapter: done & hauled off to solo (Wish me luck!)
How to find background information about homosexuality in Japanese Buddhism and Shintoism: - read article about republican vice president candidate Sarah Palin on Spiegel Online: US Wahlkampf: Die bigotte Glaubenswelt der Sarah Palin (US election campaign: the bigotry of Sarah Palin)
- followed explanatory link about Pentecostalism to Spiegel Wissen: Pfingstbewegung (based on Wikipedia)
- followed explanatory link to Homosexualität (Homosexuality)
- followed link to main article Homosexualität in China (Homosexuality in China)
- followed link to Homosexualität in Japan (Homosexuality in Japan)
- then it was the fifth listed web link: Homosexuality in the Japanese Buddhist tradition
Interesting read! Thank you, Mrs. Palin!

| The top 100 books meme |
| Public |
| indescribable |
| book, fun, meme |

Taken from Elbales:
"The Big Read reckons that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they've printed."
1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicize those you intend to read.
3) Underline the books you LOVE.
4) Strike through what you consider a complete waste of paper & time.
5) Reprint this list in your own LJ so we can try and track down these people who've read 6 and force books upon them ;-)
( 28/100 and five intentions )
Sadly German classics are underrepresented. The quota would be better then. :)

I think I did that eons ago elsewhere, but it's still fun. Thanks solo.
1. Pick up the nearest book.
2. Open to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people.
