Quite a list. 46 in total.
Unfortunately, I can't make any excuses or apologies for my actions.

And although there are at least one grammatical error in every post.... it's still kind of funny.

Anime, ah knee meh.

I'm watching Steam Boy right now, and I've realized, though it's a great movie so far, that there are common problems in a lot of the most famous anime.

Namely; location. I don't understand why the majority of anime films take place outside of Japan, generally in Western Europe. The culture, and obviously language, unless you're silly enough to watch the dubbed versions, still remains. In fact, movies like Kiki's Delivery Service are completely Japanese in culture.

I guess American movies tend to do similar things. Actually a lot of American films take place in other countries with American culture portrayed, and I realize I'm being hypocritical....

But, that doesn't mean that a typical British man in Steam Boy has to look exactly like Abraham Lincoln. I think that Japanese culture is fantastic, and not everyone should be blonde and European. That's all.

This was clearly a pointless rant. Hmmm.

Riding that train...

It's halfway through February, and I haven't updated... well, you know.

More things have changed in my life than I know what to even focus on.
But moral of the story, I kind of feel like things have changed - and will continue to change - in really drastic ways over the next few months.

I still have my same job, but the crazy manager [who obviously didn't last] is gone for good. In fact, it's actually kind of funny how it happened. And some of the old people came back, and I'm trying to keep in contact with the ones that didn't. Also, I feel like I'm made some really important bonds of friendship with a lot of them, though the majority of workers there are between three and thirteen years older than I am. And while that sounds sketchy, it's not at all.

I decided on a new major that is what my mom calls "a waste," as well as two fairly useful minors. But as long as I actually want to go to and enjoy my classes, I think it's actually a better choice in the long run.
Also, I decided to do spring semester abroad next year in Ireland. I've always complained about the students who only go for a semester, but I feel like I'm giving up too much by not being in New York for an entire year. Boo.

So that's life, and now it's time for Korean food in K-Town.
