So did the list changed since then? You have a little progress in anime watching, do not like to watch anime now?
I should be thinking about my novel, not Annie May. D;
Which of Kubrick's films are your favorites? There are still quite a few I really ought to see. And besides him, who are some of your other favorites? :)
I guess you might be a bit busy with that programming job, huh? I'm with family now, and more and more people seem to be arriving. It's becoming crowded, so I'm just starting to crave an escape from this escape.
The flute is nice. I used to date a flutist, and I composed a surf rock song with a lead flute part for my AP music theory class just because I knew she'd be playing it. Do we know each other from a past life or something? What kind of leadership comes along with the flute, by the way?
I love what I've seen of Kubrick's. The Shining is among my favorite horror films, but what do you think of his stuff?
Well, silly you for expecting to learn in school. At least you've gained a valuable lesson in tempered expectations. So have I, incidentally. My previous chair gave me about a week's notice before skipping town. (I did find a new chair, though, luckily.)
Computer programming is wizardry as far as I'm concerned (there are tubes involved, no?), but good luck with it. Awful nice of you to bail your friend out. :)
"Play Pomp and Circumstance..." --what do you play? I used to do that for my high school orchestra, too. Violin, though I was never much good. Ever seen A Clockwork Orange? If you see this before you take off, think about this scene while you play, and have a horrorshow time! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezMld3tavi0
Sounds like a disappointing class, but at least the American right wing has provided some proper circus antics for the record books these past years. The only thing I remember about AP Government class was our instructor spending a lot of time teaching us about the JFK conspiracy theories--and in the postmodernism seminar I took this year, I read a whole novel and got about three straight hours of lecture about it again. Back and to the left, back and to the left...
I'm sure you did great, though. :]
I'll snoop on your list one of these days, but I've even fallen a bit behind on my usual Chinamation watching. It's been hectic here lately. I just got word that my committee chair for my creative thesis (that novel I mentioned) is leaving my university and pretty much said, "Good bye and good luck" to my project. So I'm scrambling to find a new chair. ;( How have you been, though?
I could talk about Murakami forever, but the Wind-Up Bird Chronicle is an important one. A Wild Sheep Chase and Dance Dance Dance are excellent examples of his early work, and Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World is right up there with his best.
AP exams, huh. My semester is just winding down, but I can relate to the stress, as I just took a pretty important exam a few months ago (pass/fail kinda thing for a degree... orz ). I'm sure you'll kill it, though. What subject, by the way?
Been too busy to watch cartoons of the Middle Kingdom lately, but maybe I'll creep on your list history and try a few of those short films once I'm caught up on work. :)
If you're looking for another Allen film to watch, maybe try Stardust Memories. It's a little more challenging than a lot of his stuff, but I get the feeling you'd enjoy it. Plus there's some nice Django Reinhardt and Louis Armstrong in the soundtrack.
Oh, right. Cartoons. I'm just keeping up with the seasonal stuff I started, but I did get into this restaurant-themed show called Working!! since we last talked anime. I like to unwind with slice of life comedies lately. How about you?
Well, give Sound 'n Fury a go if you like. I found it interesting, particularly Quentin's section. And yes, I'm all about interesting experiences with precocious younger women! By the way, do you like Woody Allen movies? :D (Suddenly that literal blown tire is starting to seem like a metaphor for something... but what.. !?)
I'm already replying at length, so to put my novel briefly... it's something like a Gainax anime crossed with a Woody Allen film (hey, we're on our way to a motif here) transposed to a Haruki Murakami novel. So it's a goofball pseudo detective story with psychological and sociological elements. But you read enough to know descriptions are never adequate. :')
Beloved is an interesting book. If you found As I Lay Dying a chore, you probably wouldn't enjoy Sound and the Fury much... IIRC Faulkner wanted to go so far as to color-code the time period shifts in the first section (which takes place in the head of an autistic [as in the medical sense, not the internet "ur autistic" sense] character) to help the reader along, but this obviously wasn't feasible in his time period.
I think you're right about long series. The danger for me is not so much the possibility of an extended break as it is the possibility (read: probability) that I will wake up a week later (piles of work, e-mail, chores accumulating all the while) in a daze after a marathon.
I'm an ---aspiring--- writer. I'm kind of in the middle of a novel I need to finish in the next week and a half for my graduate thesis. Yeah, I'm a little ahead of you in school, but if you don't mind then I don't. Your writing is better than most I see at my level anyway, and you clearly have a good head on your shoulders :)
Hmm, yeah, 110 episodes is a lot, huh? That'd normally put me off, too, but I hear such good things about it that I'm willing to put the time in. Plus, I usually like to have one fairly serious, plot-heavy show rolling in addition to all the fluffy slice of life stuff I unwind with.
I just started Mushishi recently, too! It's great, isn't it? I find myself taking mental notes on how the stories are framed, so I can try to apply ideas to my own work. It's such a mellow show that I can only watch it when I'm well-rested and adequately caffeinated, though. :'D
Hmm, yeah, McCarthy is a little bit like Faulkner. Ever read anything of his?
Also, hey, shouldn't we be talking about Chinese Cartoons?! I've been plowing through Legend of the Galactic Heroes lately. It's kind of like... House of Cards in space... minus Kevin Spacey.
You seem like a pretty interesting person. Mind if I send a friend request?
And hey, you read. Catch-22 is among my favorite books, too. :) Nice to meet ya.
