i really don't know how i feel about the loveless manga nowadays-my first encounter with it was when i was ritsuka's age, and now i'm soubi's age, and it's been years since i read any of it, and i'm never sure if i'm imagining how good it was-but as a teenager it was a very useful treatise on all the things we (accurately or not) call by the name ( Read more... ) -

also, I basically cannot stop listening to Hamilton?? I'm only like 2/3rds of the way through bc I keep going back to relisten to things; I keep finding more and more parallels and clever tricks with the lyrics and rhythms and music. so far I have listened to Room Where It Happens, Right-Hand Man, Non-Stop, and Wait For It about 20 times each, and ( Read more... ) -

Today I had a bunch of trouble concentrating in Chinese class, mostly bc I didn't eat, but also bc a super beautiful girl sat next to me and I spent the whole time thinking 美人！本当に美人！！

Today I got to talk with a man whose English nickname is Super, because he has a character (超) in his name that's the same as the 'super' in Superman (超人). It was marvelous.

let's talk about roman history
I find ancient Rome bizarrely comforting? today I was having one of those bouts of paranoia/general creeping bad feeling, and I sat down and listened to the History of Rome podcast until it went away.
