Sleep now. Sleep Tomorrow nite.
Wrote a 1.5 page or so introduction to the anime paper. Gonna have it looked over tomorrow by someone to see if it's a good idea or not. Also picking up a tape of Wings (thanx moti!) so I can write that.
Then it's time to hack out a few pages for an English draft.
After that it's time to get my ass in gear and start planning the answers to Sumida's final. I may do that during UMBC tomorrow.
Saturday's also theoretically the first day of TAS fandubbing. We're doing a dub of the first ep of Macross 7 and so I've had to go through, edit the sub script, all that crap. I gotta remember to run off the sheet music and put the english lyrics on so that if truly necessary we can dub the songs ourselves instead of using the English CD.
I got my hannukkah present from my mother. It's a swiss army watch, which is very cool - for the last year and a half or so I've been carrying my watch around in my pocket because the band on it broke. It's weird to get used to wearing a watch again. It's also weird to have to remember to put it back on when I take it off (took it off when playing DDR...left it on top of the TV for 2 hours afterwards before remembering "oh shit i need to put it back on.") Classes are gonna seem to be going a lot more slowly now...
Yes I'd been hoping for DVD's. Oh well, I'll be working again soon enough, and the AMV that I really needed DVD footage for is on hold so I can do the new project that I thought of a couple days ago.
I kinda wish more people would reply to my journal...everyone else seems to be having these little journal conversations, and I feel kinda left out. Then again I don't really reply to other peoples' journals either...
But I will say this much: EK's an amazing artist. If I had a website I'd definately beg her to do the artwork on it for me.
To bed I go. -

I have my german presentation tomorrow. If I can seem to talk for 3 minutes I'm good. 180 short seconds and just over a page of materials...i'm fucked for that.
fireye hasn't brought me his wings of honneamise DVD to use for my paper when he said he would on Sunday. he msg'ed me and said he didn't have cash on sunday but that he'd bring it monday. it's now wednesday and the paper's due tuesday and i've got another paper to draft by next tuesday as well and sumida's 10-15 page takehome final that we got in class today.
i still haven't finished reading clausewitz either. now i'm staying up waiting for anne to get here so I can print off her lab report and pass off these zelazny audiobooks to her.
I also have my german oral tomorrow...i keep forgetting about that *shrug* it'll make me late for english, but it's not like i give a fuck. i could probably not even turn in this paper and still get a passing grade in the course (English...not German...need good marks in german)
I took tonight off as a lazy night. I shouldn't have, I had no reason to, especially with the amount of writing I had to do, but I got 4 pages done on a paper last night, and doing the fucking runoff for german was an hour alone. sometimes relaxing is good. friday at UMBC there'll probably be something on that I don't want to see, so it'll be time to go outside and either read clausewitz or lay out a paper or something.
and there's always the weekend. but tomorrow is definately a work night. -

Going to bed. hopefully i'll fall asleep. took a nap for about an hour earlier tonight, was too tired to work. got up and hacked out my notes and stuff for my in-class essay for english tomorrow.
got a quiz in euro tomorrow morning. it'll be BS as always, i should be getting an a in discussion so i'm not really worried. in film we're finishing the apostle and probably doing last minute discussion on papers and then we'll get out early (in theory)
after that i get to race home and try to phone the professor whose class i need to oversubscribe next semester. it'll be during his office hours so he should be in for once...
i had an idea for an amv today that i'm going to have to make. i've been wanting to make a vid for a while with this anime and wanted to use this band for a while, and i had the cd on today and it just hit me. it's now in the queue. the only problem is that getting raw footage for this is next to impossible - it's not even up on the japanese auctions.
oyeah, my chasing amy LD came in today. i'm surprised - it's a critereon but it's in CLV. ah well, it's already 2 discs to begin with and came with an hour of extras.
also watched evangelion: death tonight for the film paper. i've never sat through all of death before - when i originally had a copy (in vivo nonetheless) i never bothered - only time i'd watch the eva movies is right after the series and who needs a recap after that? so anyhow, after watching it i was really surprised - they cut a LOT out to make the movie, and a lot of it was the weird stuff eva's known for. if i hand this tape to my professor he'll either a)wonder what's going on in my paper ('cuz my tape of death isn't subbed) or b)think i made it all up. at least my tape of end has subs on it....
may have to dig through the TV to get some info. grah. after i finish eva it's on to wings of honeymayonaise or however the hell you spell that title. -
Once again I can not sleep....

I wonder if this is becoming a trend. I sure as hell hope not...it sucks, though, I was finally getting to a decent got-in-bed-to-falling-asleep time down by last thursday...guess that staying up on the weekend wasn't such a great idea...
so i'm working on my anime paper and talking about angel sanctuary. hopefully work for 30 or so minutes will be draining and knock me out. at least i know i can use dr. sumida's final for that usage (writing for his classes are extraordinarily draining)
damn angel sanctuary is confusing.
anyways, it's now 90 minutes later than when i started this journal entry. chris pulled me aside to listen to his presentation, and we ended up BS'ing for a while.
the angel sanctuary section has been drafted, but i need to do some searching on angels in biblical stuff to confirm my argument. after that I get to go searching into wings of honneamise for pages 5-6. eva will hopefully be 7-9 or 7-10...then a quick 2-3 pages on japan and religion in general and i'm set. -
i trust my soul....my only goal is just to be

there's only yes, only tonight
we must let go to know what's right
no other course, no other way
no day but today
i can't control my destiny
i trust my soul, my only goal is just to be...
there's only now, there's only here
give in to love, or live in fear
no other path, no other way
no day but today...

i'm listening to a lot of RENT and REM lately...the slow REM. i feel kinda like how lain looks during the opening credits, where we see her in the wired and it's just this empty look. it reminds me of the quote from trigun "You were always smiling, real friendly like, but the way you smiled was so empty it hurt to watch you."
i feel kinda sorry for all the people who know and have to deal with me nowadays.
