I guess I got too angry in yesterday's entry. Gomen nasai. My head hurts.
I'm disappointed with how the poem was displayed, because I painstakingly alligned the english translation to about the middle of the page. What a pain. When I looked up the poem on the net, I found next to nothing on it, let alone the background. I asked my teacher again, and she said it's about a couple who lost a son in WWII. You'd never guess that from the poem; you can interpret so much in so many ways. I like that about Dejeuner.
I'm listening to Avril's second album. Together could certainly fit NGE, but then again, what relationship-angst song DOESN'T work with Asuka and Shinji?? Heh.
Ever get that feeling where you want to go home, but you're already there? It bites. -

Time to emmigrate, because I don't think I can handle another four years with this HEAD-UP-HIS-ASS, blithering-idiot thief ruling our country! Trouble is, where can you avoid it? He and his cronies have effect on the whole world. There are two possibilities for how this happened. A, most Americans actually want this asshole, or B, the poles are rigged. I think it's the latter. Too depressing.
Watching Catch Me If You Can, good movie. DiCaprio is actually a good actor. Eating Lychee ice cream... staring at the Precious Moments banner. Thinking of where I'd go if I left.......
I had a new idea for a fic, kind of a strange thing, illustrating a poem we learned in French class:
Il a mis le cafe He put the coffee
Dans la tasse. in the cup.
Il a mis le lait He put the milk
Dans la tasse de cafe. in the cup of coffee.
Il a mis le sucre dans le cafe au lait. He put the sugar in the coffee.
Avec la petite cuiller il a tourne. With a spoon he stirred it.
Il a bu le cafe au lait He drank the cafe au lait
Et il a repose la tasse. and put down the cup.
San me parler. Without speaking to me.
Sans me regarder. Without looking at me
Il a allume une cigarette. He lit a cigarette.
Il a fait des ronds avec la fumee. He made smokerings.
Il a mis les cendres dans le cendrier. He put the ashes in the ashtray.
Sans me parler. Without speaking to me.
Sans me regarder. Without looking at me.
Il s'est leve. He got up.
Il a mis son chapeau sur sa tete. He put his hat on his head.
Il a mis son manteau de pluie He put on his raincoat
Parce qu'il pleuvait because it was raining
Et il est parti sous la pluie. and he went out into the rain.
Sans une parole. Without a word.
Sans me regarder. Without looking at me.
Et moi, j'ai pris ma tete dans ma main And me, I took my head in my hands
Et j'ai pleure. and I cried.
A very sad poem, written by Jacques Prevert during World War II. Unaware of the background, you can interpret this in many different ways. I think this would make an interesting video - this narration, and clips of Gravitation. Can't you just picture Yuki with this? ^_^ I'm looking forward to this project.
Eh. Sayonara. -
Happy Halloween

Yes, it's Oct. 31st, and I haven't picked out a costume yet. Hahaha. Too late to do a decent cosplay... ^_^
Sigh. Before I get anywhere on my AMV Mukastuku, I have to delete practically everything taking up space on my harddrive. O well, I got it on my other comp anyway. I'm looking forward to this: and I got two days off school to work on it! Bliss ^_^.
It's the end of first quarter as we know it, and I'm relieved that I think I have all A's. Maybe a B+ somewhere (but honestly I don't think so. I will type the results later).
Two potential projects have been on my mind for a few days, but they're re-edits of amvs that I've seen, and so could piss off said editors. One is Fruits Basket to Signs of the Zodiac by Rasputina, or "Do you Belived in the Curse" by Karchan of Konnichiwa Studios...maybe I'll just leave my ideas in a review... Yeah. The other probably isn't a problem, really... I watched "Angels of Death" by Tenki Kusao and fell in love with Rammstein's Mein Teil. I have some grasp of the lyric translation and I think it could work with a couple of different anime, kinda to illustrate the greed or the world. The only problem is that every downloadable file of this song is POISONED! I can't find a good copy anywhere!! *cry cry*
I'm worried about the plans with my friend tonight - when will she give me a call? I guess till then I'm gonna work on my disc... Ja Ne. -
Been in school about a month and a half

Sigh. Gotten into the groove now. I have a project barely started, and it's due Tuesday. Lucky me.
But I think that I've crossed the line where I'm not really caring anymore. As odd as that sounds.
A friend came from out of town, so we spent a lot of time together. And yesterday, I devoted most of my time to ripping Akira clips for my first AMV ^_^ I hope. I've pretty much finished picking clips, but I'll need to wait a while for actual editing because the only software I have that I've worked with is Windows Movie Maker (the horror!). So...blah.
Another project sucking up my time is a fanfic of which I've had the kernel idea for a while, but didn't do much with. It's been a very Akira/Eva-esque time for me recently, working with and reading the stories, so I kept thinking about them, and so scenes for this fic would keep popping into my head saying "Add me! Add me!". They won't leave me alone!! ^_^
I'm in for hell Tuesday, but I'm not worried at the moment. Eva manga volume five, Toji: "You said you were prepared for the worst, right? Welcome to that happy state of being." -
School....

it's coming up pretty soon. I DON'T WANNA GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wah.
In other news, I have my first babysitting job today. I'm sucky with kids and have a mouth like a sailor - what are my chances? Actually, I'll probably do okay. The kids are nice, as far as I know. I'm gonna try giving my friend a call - she normally sits for them.
I've been having dreams in the morning for about a week, which is unusual, since I rarely have dreams, period. I don't remember many of thdm either, just that I had them. One was about jousting... and my cousins were squires... Odd.
I'm tired... and I miss all my friends from Brown (who I haven't heard from in millenia). That's partly my fault, I guess (or the fault of whoever dragged my on that vacation into the middle of nowhere). Well, it was a nice vacation. I hope I hear from them soon, though.
I guess that's all for now. I'm hungry. Oh, just saw the new AMV Joe and Jango on the Killing Road. Bakuretsu Tenshi sounds interesting...
