THE WAY OF THE INSOMNIAC!!!
i've developed quite the insomniac's way of life lately. but then again, it has been a useful tool in my conquest to finish all the necessary reading materials for AP english. so far, i've ONLY finished reading brave new world and the color purple. i will be starting the kite runner shortly after this post. *smiles* . and from what i've heard about the kite runner from _happy_as_rain_, i'm looking forward to reading the book. brave new world was quite a disappointment; i really DON'T like huxley's writing style. and after my ...uh... ghastly encounter with the bluest eye, black literature never quite attracted much of my interest. but, the color purple was a lot better than i expected it to be. it doesn't merit a spot on my list of favorite books, but it was -good- for a school required reading book.
i originally was going to read the fountainhead, but i didn't think that 700 pages-or-so of rush-reading would do me good. i actually want to grasp the concepts, even though most people don't consider ayn rand's "objectivism" to be a true philosophy (schiefer). oh well, i'll read it some other day. [some other day as in, after senior year :D]
so, now i feel obligated to update about my weekend at Nisei Week in J-town.
♠ i got up bright and early Sunday morning. mongbeane called saying she can't accompany us on the trip :(
♠ having not acquired a permit, much less a license, i bothered my dad into driving me to our meeting area at the front of the school
♠ i was the first one there
♠ our chauffeur, alex arrived a little later. but we still had to wait for the other members of our group.
♠ finally, lillian, tiffany and amy arrived [in that order] and we left for j-town
♠ car parked. walked around. went to kinokuniya. lillian bought her magazines. amy bought her YAOI. i wasn't sure if tiffany bought anything. alex bought a bunch of stuff. i bought two volumes of the NANA manga.
♠ then we went to the TOFU festival, where we had lots of yummy food. TOFU was served in the craziest ways possible. there was tofu ice cream. YUM!!!. MON-LAI YOU MISSED OUT!!!
♠ it was getting quite unbearable with the heat and all so we decided to leave around 3-ish [?]. and that's about it.
and NOW...to feed my insatiable need to make icons, no matter how crappy i am at making them...
