Day 11

Day 11

1.)    Removing the wire casing on a wire with an exacto knife is actually quite easy. Just gently roll the wire while pressing down slightly with the blade. Do it a couple of times and then pull the casing off.

2.)    Wires inside to a pair of headphones have 4 parts. The casing, which is what you see. The colored wire, which brings sound to your earpiece. The copper wire, which completes the circuit loop. And fluffy white insulation.

3.)    I am a failure at fixing electronics.

4.)    Owl City has nice music.

5.)    The Fundamentalist Latter-Day Saints are probably on the same level as the Westboro Baptist Church – really fucked up.

6.)    Brigham Young University is sponsored by the Church of the Latter-Day Saints (not to be confused with the fundamentalist group). 

7.)    The Church of the Latter-Day Saints takes tithes and fast offerings. Tithes are 10% of a person’s income and fast offerings are donations given to the Church to help those in need.

8.)    The thing that pisses me off the most about the Westboro Baptist Church is that there are frequently children in their pictures, holding up signs. I don’t think people who believe in shit that hateful should be allowed to procreate. (I apologize if this offends anyone)

9.)    Gender roles are a bit of a problem in Japan. Women are expected to quit work after getting pregnant, or even after getting married, and they usually aren’t ever hired back. Japan has a high college attendance rate, but most women with children work part time.

10.) Phonophobia can refer to a fear of your own voice.
