The Two Towers
Dec. 22nd, 2002 06:23 pmAd Mundo Exteriore,
( Spoilers, spoilers, spoilers )
In other news, I watched more of .hack//SIGN, and boy, that anime confuses me to no end. The horrible translations don't help at all. And oniichan, some channels really, really need your editing skills. Case in point: "I feel shame from that feeling of shame." ::runs off screaming:: Anyway, I have no idea what's going on, but it's a cool anime, nevertheless. Also really scary. I was trembling in my seat during the fourteenth episode.
I also read up to volume 9 of Kodocha. It's much less depressing in visual form, when you can't really read any Japanese characters, except the kana for "ka."
Mother bought me Stephen Jay Gould's The Structure of Evolutionary Biology, which is making me swoon. Can one really swoon over evolutionary biology? It certainly makes me feel weak in the knees when I flip through the book with a reverential finger on the thick, high-quality paper, catching glimpses of "punctuated equilibrium" and "macroevolutionary theory." Is this love? Or is it simply academic infatuation? Either way, I am definitely studying this tome (it's as thick as Les Misérables) over the summer. I also saw Ernst Mayr's What is Evolution?, which I couldn't buy, but resolved to read as soon as possible.
My photo was put in the Korean-American newspaper. Am very embarassed by all the Koreans coming up to me and delivering their congratulations. Very awkward, trying to say thank-you in an unassuming tone of voice when you have a stuffed nose.
