3:53 p.m. - 21.10.02 Break has been fun so far, if uneventful. I have gotten to watch Tom play Need for Speed - Hot Pursuit 2 in my room, the price I pay for housing his PS2 here and using it all the time myself. The game itself is pretty silly, you have to evade the cops, who you hear over the radio and who have this thing about setting endless road blocks. And helicopters (yes, I don't feel like spelling that right) bomb you. And Tom once got stuck in a tree, literally, which was pretty fun. yesterday I went home for dinner, which was good. I brought my radio home so now I am happily listening to XPN - yay! Right now they are playing the Clash. I finished Murakami's "hardboiled wonderland and the end of the world," which was fantastic. It makes me sad that no one around here is probably going to read it so that I can talk about it with them. I was looking at my books at home, and it just makes me so nostalgic to think about the worlds in each of them. I wanted to bring them all back with me and reread them, or read them for the first time. People hold so much in their minds at once, it is really just freaking amazing. In "hard boiled wonderland", the protagonist held an entire world in his subconsciousness, more or less. Not exactly like that, but still, it was pretty amazing. Everything is pretty amazing. I'm in one of those moods. Now to the library to get another one of his books! Or not. Other work calls. My Japanese homework is finished for the weekend, but now that I am done with the fun stuff I have to think about writing my Chinese thought paper. Zhuangzi and the Daodejiong. Joy. I want to write about government, since that was my area for class discussion in the Daodejing, but I don't know if Zhuangzi actually talks about it, since I skipped doing the reading on him because it was, frankly, nutty. I have to get an A on this paper, and that feels like pressure to me, since all I feel like doing is sleeping and actually being on break. Pfft, I should stop complaining, its just a paper after all! This is, afterall again, my job! he he he My mom gave me candy corn. CANDY CORN! Driving home yesterday Tom and I saw an advert for a corn maze (isn't that redundant? :p hehehe). I had almost forgotten that it was autumn, my favorite season since it happens to be going on now. The semester's almost halfway over. Time for picking classes already, and I don't yet know it I am going to Japan or not since the people haven't gotten back to me. I guess that I pick classes anyway, but I don't really know if I should...I pretty much know that I am getting into Sophia, but I don't want to stop making contingencies until I have the paperwork in my hands.
