Blade Runner is a good movie. Although heavy doses of Suzanne Collins (Hunger Games) and Ridley Scott on the same day is not - especially uplifting. haha.

Finally found the updated version of Brothers Karamazov! Will probably start tomorrow. Was told variously by people "just read Constance Garnett" and "don't read that Constance woman's translations, Nabokov called them a complete disaster". Understandably confused, but eventually enlightened (and elated) by this article on translation in the New Yorker. Totally, totally agree. If only we were given more time (and had more time) and had more pairs of meticulous eyes to look over our translated releases before we released them!

If only, if only. Alas.

I think the fact that I took the time out to photoshop this instead of practising really proves how far my mentality has fallen.

I don't even have a legit excuse to be ditching rehearsal right now, aside from practise, which I'm obviously not doing, and aside from the fact that I feel like it's a waste of time and don't want to go, which is obviously not a legit excuse.

The irony is - this manga is about piano! No but srsly guys, I don't remember if I raved about this before or not, but I love this series. You're hard put to find ANY manga out there that's about classical music, and this one's brilliant and it's actually written well.

Without further ado, Piano no Mori ch44~! :D (I picked up where onemanga left off.)

(Despite the tag, my editing is pretty halfassed because editing takes sooooooo much tiiiiiiiime and I'm lazy. T____T Also whoever scanned the raws attempted to get rid of gutter shadow in various places and sucked at it. Oh well.)

In other news, as some of you may or may not have noticed, I have destroyed my facebook! I did this last night because I was rather pissed at life, and now that I am less pissed I think I'll keep it that way because facebook isn't healthy anyway.

BUT I had to temporarily revive it for a couple seconds to retrieve some photos...

...because all emo inner turmoil aside, it's senior year, it's the last WEEK of senior year, school is ending foreverrrr and we are going out with a BANG.

Behold, our epic end-of-the-year Obama mural, MADE ENTIRELY OF POST-IT NOTES.



WE ARE THE AWESOMEST PEOPLE EVER. SRSLY. ♥

To prove that this is not a hoax, here are some pictures of the process-of! (Sadly, we only remembered to take pictures near the end because in the beginning we were panicking about how ridiculously impossible this project was gonna be.)





I have no words to describe our awesomeness.
