My love for Roger Ebert began a very long time ago, when I was still pretty young.  As a kid, I used his movie reviews as a barometer to judge whether or not I would enjoy a movie I was thinking about seeing.  This formula has worked out very well for me for years (although I don't remember how or when exactly I started using it).

 This is very premature, but I'm such a fucking geek that I can't wait.

This semester is going to be exhausting.  But, it is also going to be very fun.

I've got a film studies class on Mondays & Wednesdays at 11 am (which is sweet).  It's post-communism, with the focus being on (East) German, Polish, Hungarian, and "Yugoslavian" cinema.  I look ( Read more... )

 I just realized that during the course of my paper, I will use all of the Kenshin-gumi, plus Hiko...and Saitou, of course, lol.

After all, what kind of self-respecting fangirl would I be if I couldn't figure out a way of fitting my favorite Wolf into a paper about my favorite manga?

 I BOUGHT THE FIRST VOLUME OF THE RUROUNI KENSHIN KANZENBAN TODAY AT THE FU BOOKSTORE AFTER BASICALLY WAITING FOR FOREVER TO FIND THE THING.
