Yuri Kuma Arashi 01: This is great. In Ikuhara fashion it's stylish as fuck and threw a lot of unknowns at you at once, but I think it's over the top in a way the first episodes of Penguin and Utena weren't. Much of it was very funny but I'm still taking it seriously.

Oof, I love that Z Gundam shelf. Good stuff Kamon. Only kits I have are a 1/144 Zaku II and a Gouf in the same size.

We should meet up and have gaijin adventures

Holy shit, I got into the study abroad program I wanted. The news came really early too. I'll be studying at Waseda University in Tokyo for 2 semesters next year, with a cultural internship between semesters in february, probably teaching english in the countryside. I've been nervous about t...

I have an Everyman's Library edition of Moby-Dick and the hardware is stellar as usual, great binding and nice paper. No notes though, for which some people might find Norton helpful. For my part I didn't find annotations all that necessary, but some secondary literature on it would be nice,...

I just so happened to picked up Haibane Renmei on dvd because I (really) enjoyed ABe's other work SEL Other then knowing it's from ABe and some of the basic plot outlines, I'm walking into it blind as a bat. It's beautiful and unique in the medium. I hope you like it. I star...

I had something of a breakdown rewatching Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters. Recommend me something that will heal me.

Portrait is remarkable in that Joyce doesn't romanticize his younger self. I appreciated it for that and really loved the narrative structure, but at no point are we supposed to like Stephen or even feel that he's moving in the right direction. I really enjoyed the miscellaneous and whaling ...

What a bunch of madmen.

Hodges is looking good too.

That's essentially correct, though of course those similarities don't run that deep. The Whale and Ahab represent things markedly different from The Judge and Glanton and The Kid, and Ishmael's role further complicates such a comparison. It is, in my juvenile and ever-changing opinion, t...

The Judge was certainly terrifying. For all his knowledge and phantom-like traits, though, even he could say nothing before the sky in the open desert. I want to reread that passage. I want to reread it all with Kurtz in mind, because iI hear that comparison a lot from others who have read it.

Suttree is my favorite Cormac McCarthy novel but I don't think my first reading of BM did it justice. The epilogue, if nothing else, warrants more thought than I gave it.

Got As in all my relevant classes and pulled out a B- in the biology course I was taking for gened credit. Very excited, this means I have a very good chance of getting into the study abroad program I applied for.

Tonight my mates and I watched more of Nisemonogatari , finishing the Bee arc and beginning the Phoenix arc. These were by far my favorite episodes I've seen thus far. :love: This series pushes so many of my devious buttons. I had actually seen the toothbrush scene on YouTube (probably link...

I won't contradict merri because there is no wrong place to start with Camus, he only has 3 novels of note (there is one that was published posthumously). The Fall is the shortest and most dense in philosophy but The Plague has a better narrative and perhaps covers a broader range of ide...

Even if it were terrible I don't think that has ever stopped people from buying Gundam before.

I haven't read a McCarthy novel in a while. I miss those neverending sentences and that archaic vocabulary. I don't think I've ever read anything like the descriptions of nature in Blood Meridian. Anyway, I read Titus Andronicus for the first time yesterday. A combination of extreme viol...
