Driver's License Problem: Solved! No more hate toward the entrenched establishment of DMV.
Anime club briefs:
KareKano: V.v. amusing! One ep that was done almost draft-ish, juxtaposed on RL shots. So the school is b+w pencil scribbles, but the rest of the city is a RL shot. Hilarious. The pace of dialogue is comparable to that of West Wing (as usual)
RahXephon: real tear-jerker. ::sigh:: I just fall for this stuff, don't I? Anyways, again, excellent script, etc. The animation of the second episode that we saw today was soooo baaad that it was almost unbearable to watch. It looks like it was done on the comp. With MS Paint. With a Mouse. (okay, fine, maybe a tablet). No shading whatsoever, none of the subtle play of emotions that makes the series work (b/c after all, it's all about the things unsaid). So 2-D! Gaah!
Am seeking conejita's RL mailing address. Can't send her anything if don't have her snail mail address! (if anyone knows, send me via email!)
(Well, I guess I can resort to subliminal messaging, but it's *so* tiring, especially with the time and spacial difference)
Mom reminds me to keep my center/focus. (Actually, the literal translation would be "learn to protect yourself, guard your roots.") Must remember that, amidst all the reading and movies and Chinatown and activities and everything else... Yeah, some days I do feel a little floaty/disoriented. But other times, I am absolutely sure this is what I want to do because it's what I want to do. Uh oh, may have bitten off more than I can bite.
Okay, need to sit still for a moment and reflect on what I have to do, and what I want to do, and what I'm willing to give up. At least for this weekend.
Friday:
Bio class (hw: done!)
Art Discussion (hw: 1 ch. in txtbk, plus library reserve reading. If I want to sneak my way into the discussion, I have to get it done before 1:30)
Return Books to Seminary Co-op (money!)
See Ted Foss at East Asian Center about getting on the payroll.
Desire:
- Patlabor movie with Anime club. (going mostly to socialize with different people than the usual group) Very likely 5pm-10pm. Also dinner. So both time and money consuming.
- Punch-Drunk Love. Heard it's good movie.
Saturday:
Go to Chinatown to buy foodstuffs. Make food for house potluck.
Homework time!
Sunday:
Meet w/ Hum group for Columbus proj.
Desire: Famous Gregorian Chant! in Rockefeller Chapel! Free!
Homework:
Monday:
Bio reading (But! v. Short! 1 pg on Cystic Fibrosis)
Ling: Lyovin Ch.3, Comrie Ch.1+other
Tuesday:
Locke (4 - 5 hrs)
Hum (2 - 3 hrs)
Wednesday:
Bio reading
Thursday:
Hum (not assigned yet)
Soc (dunno. Not thinking that far ahead)
Friday:
Bio reading
ArtH reading.
So the real problem is this Patlabor thing. I'm going mostly for the company, because I really enjoyed the Spirited Away trip. But I think it just might work better for me to just do hw and watch Punch-Drunk Love. Don't know. Don't know. I'll see when tomorrow comes. Everything will resolve itself at the right moment. Forethought might justify it more one way or another, but really, you don't know until you get there.
