oyceterBottom 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.
