... should be a crime. It's existence is like a blaring alarm in the middle of a forest and yes, it CAN be heard.

To me, it is incomprehensible why someone, anyone, can leave their rooms / houses in such a mess. For one thing, it's hard to maneuver around the place as well as find whatever you're looking for. Another is that it's probably incredibly unhygienic and you've created a paradise for bacteria and pathogens. Lastly, it does something to your psyche because seeing messiness also causes your mind to become messed.
An example would be my brother's room. The mess in his room encroaches on the otherwise orderly appearance of our entire house, and it becomes infectious because he also spends time in the other rooms. The biggest issue isn't that he's messy, but the fact that he takes my stuff and leaves it around where I can't find it. Why do I keep my room orderly? So I know where I can find my stuff when I need it. >_>.
A glowing example would be an explosion of sadness that makes my brother's room akin to the best library in the world. I can understand why one would want to move closer to where they work since they don't own a car, but that doesn't mean you should transfer the uncleanliness from the previous house to the new one. Arriving last night, the otherwise clean and empty living room looked like a freaking disaster of boxes and garbage. Why do you keep it all? Do you even use it? I can understand the mentality that some objects will be of use sometime in the future... but WHEN? All that junk that you've stored up... do you even dig through it in your spare time? No. No you don't. Because you're always busy and it's always someone else's fault that YOU couldn't get anything done. Lies. Utter utter lies.
When you move, you should:
1. Go through everything and throw away the junk you won't need.
2. Organize everything into piles of what is immediately necessary and what is not.
3. Pack things into boxes, seal them, and label them so that they are stackable and can be easily recognized for what is within.
What you did was:
1. Practically keep everything and claimed that you would "go through it later and throw things out"
2. ... not possible since everything is already in piles in your house
3. Throw things into boxes.
Which means:
1. You'll never dig through it and once again accumulate more junk
2. The new place will just be as unorganized
3. Things will be strewn everywhere, be hard to move around, and take up more space than needed.
. . . what is the point of having the bigger house... when it's just to propagate the mess that you had before?
It's... filthy.

In other news...
My leg has been a hindrance in my jogging and squash playing. I feel like I haven't been doing exercise in a while and very unfit. Not Darwinian unfit, just plain unfit. But then again, in Darwinian standards, I'm also unfit at this point.
Read an MLiA post that went like this: "Today, we watched a video in my zoology class about flatworms who are hermaphroditic, so they compete to see who becomes the female. Do you know how they do it? They use their penises as fencing swords. The entire class laughed the entire movie. It's a second year university class." That was my class. In Zoology375. This easily easily made my day.
Speaking of my day, I'm surprised I'm posting so early in the day. Also, I'm surprised I haven't done any work. I won't be surprised however, if no work gets done today.
I'm reading a lot of books lately. Which is awesome. Except I'm reading enough that I don't have time to absorb all the information I'm attaining. At least it's entertaining.
Personal handwarming is more effective than placing by a fire (not in). I don't see how it was a setup though.
Things I wanted to talk about but won't:
-Doraemon
-Eyes / Analyzing body movement
