My supervisor and me…（According to the renowned carnivore John Whale）

The fact that I break a charging cable every 2 months makes me wonder if I would metamorphose into a mouse when I was asleep…

New year melancholia…

Considering how much his world is similar to ours in terms of political turbulence，I'll just be a deserter and hide in illusions. But I just can't help thinking about how this moral anxiety intertwines the illusional peace，and how his irony intertwines with self- regulation

I'm wondering if Dryden has already been aware that ataraxia is just another illusion…His moral anxiety actually contradicts with his wish of political disengagement. Ah，but that's a sweet temptation…

无论是初中、本科，我都花了三四年时间才走出精神创伤。微妙的是，影响最大的那份仇怨已经随和解消掉了。反倒是与我没太大关系的事以伤疤的形式留了下来。我总像抚摸未愈的痒痛伤口一样一再触碰那些已经只会激起微弱知觉的回忆，再以条件反射式的自虐解决，仿佛这样就会彻底忘掉那种痒的感觉究竟是什么

@BeoMulf_SC2 according to the organisers of WTL，they have communicated with Abydos and found it was the result of miscommunication. The organiser of WTL claims team Abydos would continue to participate in the tournament，and Abydos would release further statement later

Considering how much coffee，tea，Mcvities，Walker，Yorkshire Crisps I’ve been consuming whilst staggering at 200 words per day，it makes perfect sense since I'm studying the danger of digestion……

I hate latte so much……still not sure if my laptop is ruined……

I really like the new Brewdog slogan，the only problem is I don't like Lost lager…

Except for academic reading, which I find hard to maintain my concentration). I think that might mean I'm getting older, whilst getting duller.

Even three or four years ago, I could spend lots of time watching Tomihiko Morimi's tatami series. Nowadays I find it hard to sit there to finish watching. Of course, that has nothing to do with Morimi. Even if I'm indulging in idleness, even if I don't have any things to do.

G&T offers little consolation when I'm trying to digest my emotions. To make things worse，I've got a f*cking toothache……
Feels like rubbish.

After being shown a 1671 bisque recipe，my friend described it as “witchery” or “dark art”…

I need a temporary & permanent being

a swelling of informal language

any word that requires the tongue to touch the teeth

trying to make it seem strange
