I have hit page two of my second thesis chapter! Of course, a full 20 or so is due on Monday, so this is a bit of a slow start. It also doesn't help that I took a break from thinking to watch Chicago for the fourth time. I kid you not. It's still good, though! The boy theorizes that this is because it's not so much like sitting through a movie as like listening to a favorite CD again.

And again.

And again.

Hee. I can't believe it's actually spring break now. It doesn't feel like it at all because everyone's staying here to work on theses and all. And now begins a week of scrounging around for food, oh joy.

*sigh*

The procrastination has gone on long enough... back to work.

Thesis thesis thesis, I made it out of clay

Bottom of page 6. Go me, go!

I constantly vacillate between worrying that I can't possibly stretch all my points out into 25 or so pages and worrying that I can't possibly squeeze all my points to fit 25 or so pages. I wish I could make up my mind.

The writing still goes as slowly as ever, especially since I have recently become distracted by a video game, of all things. I don't game. I'm not good at it. But this is some electronic board game type thing, which actually doesn't involve anything like hand-eye coordination or good reflexes. Perfect for me.

I forced the boy into helping me make a new icon, which is sitting on my page right now, yay!

Reading some of these newspaper articles on anime and manga, it still amazes me how stereotyped they are. In a 1987 Wall Street Journal article: Manga is all about sex and violence! And millions of other things as well. But mostly sex and violence! It's getting a lot better now, especially after Pokemon got so popular in 1999, followed by Princess Mononoke. But those articles are all about: Wow, look at this strange thing called anime! Doesn't it look funny? Aren't the people strange-looking? But it's good! Really! Well... some of it. And now, after Spirited Away and more waves of Pokemon-esque things, like Yu-Gi-Oh, everyone's suddenly talking about Miyazaki like he's the next god or something.

Anyway, that's what I've been writing about for the past few pages.
