Miscellany
For anyone who doesn't already know, I can no longer live in the apartment with my sister because they don't allow undergraduate students to live there. Because of that, I'm going to be living at home next year instead, which will be totally fine but quite different. I've also applied to work as a warehouse worker for Target, and am going in for

In any case, I'll recommend stuff.
1. I don't think you've seen Stray Dog yet, but if you haven't, check it out. It wasn't conventional Kurosawa, but it was a refreshing look at Toshiro Mifune (looking like a modern human for once!) and a chance to see Takashi Shimura's incredible chameleon-like abilities at work again. I swear Shimura has a completely different vibe in every role; I'm tempted to call him the greatest actor ever. (If you've seen that, why not watch The Life Aquatic? I thought it was plain strange at first, but it's endearing in a quirky and delightful way. Kind of like Hendrix.)
2. Reading is something I intend to do, but never really get around to. I was on a bit of a streak last semester where I devoured three or four books in a couple weeks, though! If you're up for some philosophical exploration, you can't go wrong with Hardcore Zen by Brad Warner. I wouldn't hesitate to say it has changed my life, though I need to read it ( ... )

-->1. "Batman Begins." Although you've probably seen it already.
-->2. William Faulkner: Light in August.
-->3. Less Than Jake: "Bridge and Tunnel Authority" and "The Science of Selling Yourself Short."
These are really just things that I myself like, not things that I think you yourself would necessarily like as well. When one is known almost exclusively through LJ, recommendations to one are bound to be of such a nature.
B. Requestions:
-->1. Describe and name your ultimate anime-style special attack.
-->2. What one thing do you want to do, accomplish, or experience before you die?

2. Before I die, I want to create something that I'm extremely proud of, either in writing, film, music, or some other media that I'm not even thinking about right now. Basically something that leaves proof and validation for my existence.
3. This is difficult because I don't really read much sci-fi. How about William Gibson's Neuromancer? I almost finished it once... :P

If you would like a replacement question for #3, you can recommend an extremely funny novel to me. and the first I shall retroactively phrase as,
"What would be your ultimate anime-style special attack, and what would it be called?"

1. Dirty Pretty Things...it's just creepy and real
2. I've been reading a lot of Stephen Kings short stuff. I finished "The Bachman Books" a bit back. Also creepy and real.
3. I really like the new song by Gorillaz 'Feel Good, Inc.' The whole album is actually quite good.

1. What is your quest?
2. What is your pornstar name? (It's a combo of your first pet and the first street you lived on.)

C.
Consider it done.
