Ouran Paper...
Haha, I don't know what I was thinking when I decided to write a 20-page paper on Ouran High School Host Club. Probably something along the lines of, "Ouran so pretty. Make good paper. Yes." *FacePalm*
Ah, well. I have a surprising amount to say about shoujo parody and gender/class issues in that manga, so it's all good. I just wish that the damn thing were finished so that I could move on with my life. I'm pretty much going to be writing this thing for a week straight.
Did I ever mention that I was taking a grad course on Graphic Novels? It's kind of the greatest thing in the world, the 20-pager notwithstanding. My professor and I have bonded over manga, though we differ greatly in our appreciation of Frank Miller (possibly because I think Miller is everything that is bad about the comics industry: misogyny, racism, homophobia, xenophobia, etc.). I'll be very sad to be finished with the course, but I'll probably get to work in some capacity with my professor in the future, since he offered as much. The benefits of bonding with your professors! Huzzah!
