I've found some pics from Kumori Con last year. Hopefully this year I'll look a little cooler, what with the shakujo (staff) and all. (Of course, when it comes to otaku, "cool" is a very relative word.)

I have exactly one more class at Clark until I graduate. No more boring lectures, no more 10 page papers, no more loafing around in the cafeteria trying to find something without the legs still attached (but that's another story). To be honest, I really did expect to feel at least a little bit sentimental about coming to Clark for the last time, ( Read more... )

I had my orientation at PSU today, so now I'm all registered and educated about the whole transfer process. This fall I'm taking Japanese 201, Chinese Buddhist Art and Intro to Linguistics. Quite frankly, I think that's the single most beautiful sentence I've ever written ( Read more... )

Yesterday I went with Heather to the Saturday Market, and we also went over to Powell's (which has become a tradition for me; I go there every time I'm in Portland now). I got the 2nd Naruto manga (in Japanese), which has been very cute and relatively easy to read, even if it does take me forever ( Read more... )

You know what's really weird? British jazz/rock from the 70's.

You know what's even weirder? The fact that I'm becoming completely addicted to the stuff. I started listening to Soft Machine, who I'd never actually heard of before I started researching 70's jazz for a story I'm writing, and now I've got them permanently stuck in my head ( Read more... )
