Inventing acronyms is how I get comments on my web log from all my interfriendz!
No, the people I know at school here who are in PhD programs always say how they are A.B.D. which means they've done everything for their doctorate except the Dissertation and are All But Dissertation.
I just finished my last coursework yesterday, and all I have now is my thesis to finish writing over the summer, so I decided I was All But Thesis.
I know, totally lame!
Scat: did you guys get back from Squamish already? Pia: rad you're reading Snow Crash. hope you're enjoying it! I'm only now just remembering the conversation you me and Ferr had about the book while eating pasta in that Roppongi dungeon restaruant =)
pia - snow crash is the shit. Go for the Baroque cycle after that.
thn - my lj account is gone 'cause I forgot the password and the email addy that has my password :v:. Anyways, お久しぶりです。I've been doing this and that, meandering would be the best description. I came accross your translation of Eva and thought it a wonderful conicidence that the Rebuild of Eva is coming out soon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaWj2mCm5TU.
pia & thn - check out 「さよなら絶望先生」if you have some free time. There's a lot of tongue in cheek humor that will up your nerd quotient every time you comprehend one; that is a good and bad thing. It also tests your knowledge of cultural and linguistic Japanese =). There's an anime too.
Another anime too watch is 天元突破グレンラガン done by Gainax and is the epitome of GAR. Which is like Moe for manly, manly men. The anime is also the anti-thesis of Eva, therefore making it enjoyable to watch.
this is Chris btw, your 向島後輩。I came across this summation of the end of Eva series; I think it is an apt one and wondered what thoughts ya'll had on Anno's 1st and 2nd endings
