Well, you're right, but look at the French and look at us, we have a totally different, even faster culture than they do. Our language has evolved to fit our lifestyle -- quick and efficient. We're business men. They way we talk benefits how we work. And I think that's what it all comes down to.

Personally I love Japanese. ^_^ I love how crazy and animated and yet how deeply meditative it is. I never really liked Spanish. I find it, uh, sooo obnoxious. No me gusta! And then there was Latin in the fifth grade... Latin's okay, if you're not ten.

Monet painted blobs! They are pretty blobs but I bet the guy had no idea what he was doing. Just, red, I like red, let's put lots of red in this one, and that was it. That was the secret to his genius.

Ooh I like the drabble. Definitely one of your best ones. What ep do you see Renji in first?

I like how simple, how elegantly simple, the French lifestyle is. It seems timeless, an example to be followed. I can't understand why people keep dumping on the country; maybe I'm stereotyping, but they don't get behind something unless they are passionate about it. Believe in it. English feels murky, useful, but lacking the tradition that so many other languages are steeped in. They are leisure, we are business

Stephen Maturin would agree with you about the French. (Master and Commander...) He liked their system, basically, and this is in the early 1800s but it seems to me they still sort of have it... that they lack a certain ammount of loyalty to their country. That they are more about the individual than the greater good, that they do what they please and have fewer useless formalities (as did the British). Also they were as you say more passionate about pursuing personal interests. I agree, to a point.

English is empty. You can see it in a lot of our entertainment and way of life.

Have you seen Seven Samurai? I got it from my library and watched it a few days ago. Really good, if you can sit through some of the long parts.

There was this guy who painted the craziest illusions... what was his name, it started with an E, he's so famous and I'm ashamed I forgot his name. He did a painting with a chessboard? Mazin.

I don't think it's a lack of loyalty, though the individual pursuit is definitely more important, but, I think it's more of a harsher view on things. They don't see a point, mayhaps, in summoning the whole country to rally on a constant basis like we do. Maybe I'm just deluded.

No kidding. *sigh*

No, I haven't seen that. I don't know if they will have it at Blockbuster though 'cos my library definitely won't.

...I think he's a surrealist, but I can't remember his name either, damn. Again, I'm an Impressionist sort of person. (Cezanne is really good too!)

It's an old old movie, like, 1954. Hehe.

Esch...er? Escher? AH! Here:

Mm...sounds cool.

Oh! I know that one! I think it's surrealism? Now I have to go look it up, damn you.

...I should finish my paper on immigration first, though...
