For the last few months, when I type a new kanji into the RTF files I'm doing my translation projects in, 90% of the time it comes out pointing left. My kanji do not know which way is up.
I thought at first that the problem was only with @SimSun, which is apparently intended mostly for Chinese, not Japanese, but switching to MS PGothic, which actually has "Japanese" as a language option, doesn't fix it. Anyway, they both used to work. And I've saved and restarted and reopened trying to right them, but nothing changes. This isn't disabling, since I'm lazy and I either romanize or kana-ize everything before I start the actual translation (the kana work properly), but it's really irritating.
Since I haven't installed any new Japan\China\Korea\etc.-related software or fonts during this time, I'm going to assume this is something one of the Windows updates did.

(Edit: And if anyone reading this can tell me what the spine of the book in this image says, and what that title would probably be in English, I would be extremely happy. From the context it's obviously a children's book involving talking animals, and Charles Perrault's name is on the cover, and there's the phrase "boy(s) and girl(s)" in there.
Edit again: Okay, yeah, the book is "Puss in Boots," so the spine is probably a series name. (This is important, okay?!)
 )

Bring this up in Christian Ed next week! Your teacher will surely have many insightful things to say!
(Or you've got to at least leave a copy of the article on his desk, if you're worried about the whole grades thing.)

1) WAHAHAHA election
2) I got nervous the other day (see: election) and spent something like a third of my paycheck on manga. ( It came today. )
3) Sensei's giving a talk in a couple hours. Apparently he's talking about Miyazaki somewhat. I hope he doesn't switch directly from crazy porn to Miyazaki. I hope he doesn't say something that makes me start giggling and he gets grumpy at me and takes it out on my research draft.
4) ELECTION
I'm feeling kind of weird and hyper and everything's-awesome. I hope I don't hit the bad side of it and die this evening, because I really need to get started on my computer science project.

I am 21 years old. A legal adult. I can buy plane tickets and view pornographic materials. I have conversations about how I think I sprained a muscle in my wrist doing all that typing. I can't find my keys.
I ought not "have a tooth coming in."

| "Crumbles" |

Fake meat called "crumbles" cannot, in fact, be molded satisfactorily into meatballs, the addition of tomato goop notwithstanding. I had to turn it into a kind of chili that had no beans or chili powder instead, so that it was basically "soup" rather than chili.
It was okay, but it definitely did not meet my original requirement of being something I could put on a bamboo skewer in a little row.

I imagine it somehow involves science.

"Haven't you got a brilliant plan yet, Teo?"
"Several, but thus far they're all contingent upon the rest of you being rendered unconscious and the moral rectitude of the room so being reduced to tolerable levels."
Scarlet snorted. "...tolerable..."
"You think I am joking, but I am not. I have a very low tolerance for ethics recently. I was ethical a couple of days ago, and suffered an acute attack of the Violent Illiterati."
