List:

Wii: Beautiful, Quiet, Small, Affordable.

Wii-Sports: Fun, Family-Friendly, Shallow & Deep

Wii-Zelda: Awesome, but as long as I can watch my sister beat the 1rst & 2nd Dungeon Bosses without dieing, I say it's too easy.

Cowboy Bebop: An engaging anime that seems to critically reflect on every damned thing you could think of in terms of Science Fiction, Noir, Fantasy, Western, Horror, Philosophy, Action, and Martial Arts. Lots of further reading recommended.

Term Papers: !@#$#@!$!!!!

    I've only seen a few episodes of Cowboy Bebop on the Cartoon Network; for some reason it's never hooked me. I hear that the ending will throw you for a loop (and not in a good way).

    One Piece has some very good moments, but it also has some consistent flaws that are getting annoying.

    Yeah, I actually didn't like it that much when I first watched it a few years ago. But after seeing all the SF movies in felipe's class, and learning about all the tropes of scifi, I think I can appreciate it more, especially when you see it as addressing the same questions (in different ways) that made Ghost in the Shell (post-human questions) so popular.

Hmm.... I'm considering applying for the Honors Thesis program. It's a year long (2 semester) program for seniors. It's basically just another class in one's schedule, except you meet with your faculty advisor (of whom you choose), read a lot, and write a lot. Requirements: 3.7 major gpa, 3.5 career gpa and all pre-requisites finished. Surprisingly, I'm elligible. (I just have to *stay* elligible at this point). However, this would mean foregoing Japan. I won't know about my Japan app for a while, but the more I bury myself in the work of two highly esteemed professors, the more I'd like to attempt an honors thesis with either of them. (And, i'd be done with my major, giving me the time to devote to such a feat). If I don't get into the Japanese Program (40-50% chance) I will definitely apply for the Honors. Other than that, I'm trying to adjust to 6 hour class days, and the 3 hours of reading that follows class. Thank god I have monday and...

why can't I be complacent?

"Skepticism about our knowledge of others is typically accompanied by complaceny about our knowledge of ourselves." - Stanley Cavell My latest little aphorism from my gem of a book: The Claim of Reason . However, my problem now is that I'm devoting too much time to this class to keep up with my analysis of 19th century America. Don't get me wrong, I love this stuff. Culture/Politics/Rhetoric...all the things that make people awesome or terrible. But again, when I find myself gerimandering the hours of my days into a very unbalanced map composed of "reading...reading....reading....reading...reading. eat. reading....reading...", I do at times think to myself: life is too short My point: I want (need) to drop Rhetoric of the Guilded Age. The only sad part I can think of...I will still probably attend many of the lectures. Given all these turns of events, I've been uselessly planning my future: Summer : take one rhetoric class (Only one!) to make up fo...
