talkingsoupBusy-busy week. German is killing me. Had a 2-3 page paper for Persuasive Argument, when I've never written an argument before. I'm really glad that Fiction and Poetry are so laid back. I brought in a few poems for Poetry yesterday, but didn't get to read them since other people had to read before me. As for Fiction, the first assignment isn't until next week, I think. As in, after next week. Um. Had my first Queer Studies class and it was very awesome. Most of the start was taken up by discussing the syllabus and stuff, but then we watched this movie about gays and lesbians in the 20's-60's, "Before Stonewall" as they called it. Stonewall was I guess a bar that got raided by the police which led to rioting which led to the start of the gay rights movement.
It actually warmed up here, which is all good and fine, except that right now I just really want a thunderstorm.
Julie and I finished the first season of Honey and Clover. And in ASIC we're watching Gankutsuo or something and Yakitake Japan! Gankuotsuo (I really don't know how to spell it) is...interesting. It's very...hm...it's very colorful. The animation isn't like anything I've ever seen. It's kind of like South Park, if you can imagine anime characters in the South Park style except that instead of paper cut outs, it's all like...cutouts from pattern books. Or wallpapers. Lots of patterns, in other words. It gets kind of confusing. As for the storyline, it's pretty much the Count of Monte Cristo set in the future and the Count is like...a vampire alien or something. In any case, he's blue and has pointy ears and fangs. Lots of yaoi subtext too.
The other one, Yakitake Japan, is...it's about bread. Yes. Bread. It's about a young guy who's on a mission to make a bread that reflects the Japanese culture. Or something. Like, you have Italian bread and French bread and Indian nan, and various German and English breads, but no strictly Japanese bread. It's campy and hilarious and totally fun. And it's about bread. I mean, really.
Meanwhile the muse has gone off the deep end. I thought she might settle down once I'd worked out a little bit of the Angels idea, which I did--got all the characters and developed some stuff. But noooo. Now I've got a new idea. This of course on top of everything else.
I've decided, though, to keep all these ideas. You Are Here has lasted for years without me ever actually touching it, after all. Mot takes precedence, at least when I'm not blocked on it, and I can just pick at the other ideas. Meanwhile I'll just shelve them until I have time to work on 'em all. Jeez. Some of them will end up being short stories anyway, or at least short novels. There's also Penta to think about, of course.
I love writing, but sometimes too many ideas is a bad thing.
My mom's birthday is coming up and I have no idea what to buy her. I do have to go in town eventually to buy some necessities.
I have lots of homework this weekend. Today is a relax day, though. We're having a movie night tonight. I should also start the next chapter of the fic.
