SYDNEY (AP) – Australian scientists have discovered an octopus in Indonesia that collects coconut shells for shelter — unusually sophisticated behavior that the researchers believe is the first evidence of tool use in an invertebrate animal - more here.

This is not true:
I don't give a flying fuck about my parents, and their well-being both emotionally, physically and financially.
I give a fuck.
In fact, I give many-a-fuck. I just don't know what the hell to do to make that happen.
That's all.

The title is from one of my most favorite songs ever.... "Popular" by Nada Surf.
Brilliance and satire. I love it.
One real-life announcement:
-So I decided not to take the job. It would just be incredibly stressful, expensive and really hard to make it work.
There are two-three other companies interested in my application and they don't require a commitment quite so early. I figured if I am going to make such a concrete and important commitment, I should do it in a manner where I know I will be okay.
On fandom matters:
I wrote drabble for ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) crystallekil ! I reposted it here, but the original links are there if you are interested. :)

*Pin play the old game MASH (where you choose a spouse, car, living situation, etc.).
Original link here. Prompt was "Pin play MASH".
Goofy crack humor and bad puns. Fluffy ending.
( Five cars, five colors, five crushes (although Jin had insisted that it wasn't funny unless you put some people you didn't like)...it seemed like a simple enough game... )
*Stupidheroes! KAT-TUN gen.
Prompt was "KAT-TUN Against the world".
Original link here. Goofiness and crack humor.
( But as it transpired, after a few beers, Jin had insisted that they play superheroes... )
*Kame, Tegoshi, Uchi and one functioning flat-iron.
Too much pretty to function with less than adequate ratio of hairstyling appliances.
Original link here. Swearing, crackiness and violence (albeit cartoon-y).
( Friends don't let friends have flat hair... )

Anna Nalick - "Shine" |

Hogi and I inspire each other. Specifically LJ entries. Like a couple of weeks ago, I wrote a snippet of my chat here with Betsy and she came up with an entry, and I also came up with an entry inspired by her entry. Recently, she wrote something about contemplating on going back to being called Christine.
I have another Name post brewing in my head.
While we were finishing breakfast, I called my aunt. Tita Roxanne and Noelle were dropping me off at the condo and I wanted to say a quick hi to my Tita. "Si Maeyahn po to," I said. I heard Noelle laugh beside me. She always does that whenever she hears me refer to myself as Maeyahn or someone calls me Maeyahn. She's not used to it. Even Mae. She's not used to hearing Mae.
"So in the house, if we call you and we say Lara, do they give you the phone?"
"Yes."
About that Lara, yeah I say it's tribute to my Lola whose name is Luz so it's both L but another explanation which I give sometimes to people who ask how I came up with a screen name is Lara is Aral spelled backwards, and I 'stopped to concentrate on acting, and even as I act, I am still learning.
At the showcase, Riza asked me for my full name. She was surprised to hear that my last name was really Aguilar, and that Tarranco was just middle name. She asked for my full name because she was writing Noelle's full name as well. "Ang hahaba ng mga pangalan nyo, kaya pala kayo may mga screen name."
Which reminds me of Rito's comment, "I haven't met anyone with a screen name before! Wow! Now don't do porn movies okay, you already have a porn sounding name. Let's not indulge them," Hilarious.
Then there's Diana's reaction. We were co-actors in Baby Angelo and she has known me as Lara the whole time. Since she's also my insurance agent, I presented her with documents that had Maeyahn Aguilar. "Ano ba talaga pangalan mo?" "Sino kausap ko ngayon? Si Lara o si Maeyahn?"
The most recent Name incident was last night when I received a Friend Request from April on Facebook. April is a long lost friend and was an ISO dormmate. We used to call each other "April and Mae with no June."
Her message: "Maeyahn Aguilar! Kinareer mo ang pagiging Lara Tarranco."
When I went to Lucena, my nieces were calling me Tita Maeyahn. Gino and Tyrone calls me Tita Mae. Sophie, whom I'l be seeing later, calls me Tita Lara. When in class, she calls me Teacher Lara. So does her classmates. The Marillac girls call me Tita Lara.
I think of the guys I've dated. Those whom I've dated since 2006 call me Lara.
I dated Patton - and I never called him Rudolf. Rudolf is his real name. I only refer to him as Rudolf in this blog - and that's how Betsy calls him.
Which makes me wonder. What about when I get married? What will the invitation say? Should I use my real name or my reel name? Frankly, most of the people I'm thinking of inviting on that special occasion are those who call me Lara.
I also have a feeling that the groom (even if he is faceless right now) will call me Lara.
Or maybe the invite will just have all four names. Lara Maeyahn Tarranco Aguilar.

But my one and only breast friend
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Once in a while, you encounter people who value relationships. Really value relationships. These are the people who text out of the blue - mundane everyday details they care to share. You do the same to them and they reply with such enthusiasm. They let you into their lives as you let them into yours.
You are not afraid to unravel in front of them because they do not judge. They critique, yes, but this is because they want you to become a better person. These are the people you know will be there for you - whenever they can, and if they're not, they will text again and know that you are on their minds.
These are the kinds of people who are not afraid to word out their emotions or type those emoticons on YM. A hug and a kiss and a follow up "I love you,"
Hogi's an example.
I am so grateful that I met her in a production last year. I am so thankful that we are LJ friends. I thank God everyday for making her a Barbie.
HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BREAST FRIEND!
You are truly amazing and I love you to pieces.

[15 Dec 2009|07:36am] |
One of Civil Air Patrol’s most famous World War II “subchasers,” honored for heroism by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, died on Saturday, Dec. 5, after a long illness. He was 96 years old.
Col. Edmond I. “Eddie” Edwards was widely known as the first Coastal Patrol (later Civil Air Patrol) pilot to spot a Nazi U-boat and radio its position to U.S. naval forces. The vessel crash-dived and headed farther out to sea, where it was less of a menace to U.S. shipping. This occurred on March 10, 1942, near the start of the war - more here.

BERLIN (AP) – German police have rescued four frozen walkers who called up from a waste container begging to be saved from roving wild boars. Police in Darmstadt, south of Frankfurt, said they received an emergency call at nearly 3 a.m. Sunday from a man who said he and three companions had fled into the container after being surprised by a group of boars during a nighttime walk in the woods. He said they didn't dare to emerge.
A police statement Monday said that a patrol found the four shivering in the metal container and escorted them from the scene. The boars already had disappeared.
