Behold, I Have Posted and It Was Good
As you can see, Shibooya is now very pink. I don’t care if you don’t like it. I think it’s rather slimming.
Just last week I began my Fall semester and to compensate, I’ve somehow miniaturized my entire life into a very adorable (and also pink) planner that I bought recently from Target. Without it, I wouldn’t know when to go to class or carry on normal bodily functions - 11:48pm expel all body waste before bedtime. In fact, I think I have a hard time realizing that I’m even in school if it wasn’t for the written reminder - 6:00m LEARNING TIME .
My professor of my course, Critical Approaches to Postmodern Culture, has instructed the class to post reading responses in the appropriately titled blog, Postmodern Culture. On it you’ll find very involved but very enthralling insights from my fellow classmates on just how mind-boggling the concepts of Roland Barthes and Ferdinand de Saussure actually are. For the most part, I don’t really know what’s going on, which is strange considering my generation is a postmodern one. You can find my entries under the initials MC and particpate in the discussion through comments (i.e. comment on how utterly FANTASTIC my opinions are). My professor has assured us that after we’ve successfully passed the course, we’ll never be able to enjoy television or other forms of media in the same way again. Our newly found critical postmodern concepts will transform everything we see on TV and online. I doubt it. Nothing can change my viewings of Charmed.
I finished reading Sarah Vowell’s book, The Partly Cloudy Patriot, and really enjoyed her witty, if Daria-esque, sense of humor. I’m still struggling through A Long Way Down by Nick Hornby, my first novel from the guy. I’ve seen some of his movies and understand that writing unlikeable characters is his trademark but I find the foursome in A Long Way Down to be so self-serving and aggravating that I’m really hoping they’ll all decide on suicide.

Sorry to see your sarcastic incite was wisked away by Ernesto.

Love the snazzy new color scheme. As for the planner thing…I have one myself but I barely use it. I see it as more of a suggestion guide: perhaps you would like to read chapters 11-14 for Modern Europe. Or maybe you would like to clean out the hallway closet. Then again, you can always sit on the Internet and get busy doing absolutely nothing.

“11:48pm expel all body waste before bedtime.”
Hahaha! I can imagine myself writing that one down too.
That blog looks mighty interesting, and there are so many entries too! =)

That’s EXACTLY how Target gets people.
Damn planners.
