Hey!

14Dec08

Yes, I know it’s been a long time since I’ve posted here…it’s almost time for the new year!  I have gotten majorly sidetracked with new blogs, new classes, new projects, and so forth.  I haven’t completely given up on this blog, I just need to (once again!) decide the direction to take.

Next semester, I will be doing an independent study on Japanese and South Korean film.  This ought to be interesting.  I’ll have a bit more free time as well.  I always have to tell myself to buckle down if I’m serious about something.  It usually lasts for a bit.  I think I will put up my blog resolutions on here before the end of the year to celebrate my one year blog anniversary (which consisted of much dissaray!).  Stay with me please!

*I was recently given a lot of new manga by a friend! Several series (some incomplete) including X-Day, Mars, and Paradise Kiss.

*I bought a region-free DVD player so that I can officially buy all of those nice movies that aren’t licensed in the States.  I plan on building up a nice DVD collection!

*I fell off the language bandwagon and have decided to go back to Korean ^_^


In a much newer attempt to actually developing my Korean typing skills, I’ve purchased some Korean keyboard stickers from 4keyboard through amazon.com.  They have them for other languages including Japanese and Chinese.  Check them out.

I’m in the middle of watching a short film that revolves around the interracial relationship between a Japanese man and a black woman.  I can’t say whether I like it or not, since obviously I haven’t seen it yet but it’s been floating around some of my favorite blogs and I wanted to share it with others.
