I’ve been too lazy to post anything, but rest assured I’m still working as hard as ever. Right now I’m reading a Japanese novel, Sekai no Chuushin de Ai wo Sakebu (translated into English as “Socrates In Love
“) There was a big fuss over it 2 or 3 years ago so I finally got around to checking it out only to find out it can be summed up as “BAWWW, MY GIRLFRIEND DIED, BAWW!” And she died before he could pork her too, that’s his real beef, I bet. I’m not done yet, about 4/5 in there. It was fun going at first but then the hospital descriptions started to turn me off. I don’t know whether to be flattered or sad that I understand Japanese well enough to be creeped out by Aki’s illness but in any case I’m kinda forcing myself to go through it now. I have to stop myself from giving in and just reading a summary on J-wiki.
Anyway, that’s what I’ve been up to for the past week. When I’m done with it, I have some other books I might work on as well. One of them is about Yoshiki. Hmmm… Surprisingly enough, pulling out Japanese books in the bus or car doesn’t attract much attention from the other passengers, which I’m grateful for. Guess I’ll get on with it, then.
