Holy Crap.

I apparently did well enough on my Statistics final to move from a D grade to a B in the class.
I have a 3.5 GPA at OCC.

2011--not a bad year over all.

I slept until noon.
I've had my beans and greens.
I've done a nominal effort towards cleaning up after last night.

I think I've covered my obligations for this year, it's time to kick back and relax.

Mister Sacks is coming to town

There was once, in the heart of Fallen London, a headstrong and impetuous girl named Immaculate Deception. And as soon as she was warned of the dangers of climbing into Mister Sacks's sack, she of course decided that her single goal in life was to find out what was in there.

Going to the well

LJ Hivemind, I come to you for the first request of the year.
So there's this story, and it takes place in San Francisco in 1894. A lot of it involves a foreigner interacting with the local Chinese population. I'm certain eventually I'll bug my historian friends about the Chinese community, but right now I'm looking for information on Chinese symbolism. Specifically, what sorts of things would indicate good fortune, a propitious beginning, or a good omen of sorts? I poked at the interwebs and most of it looks like bullshit. The 'eagle on a rock in the ocean indicates a hero' looked interesting but not terribly credible.
