pot of pourries

ltgmarsI have class in two hours, and I'm not done with the assignment (Classical Japanese, why are you like thissss), so I figured now would be the perfect time to post on my LJ.
(And for the curious, this is my class schedule for winter quarter:
MWF: n/a
TR:
0930-1045 Readings in Classical Japanese Literature: Heian
1100-1215 History of Modern Japan
1400-1515 Advanced Readings in Modern Japanese
It's nice except for the part where my M and especially W nights suck. Though you'd think by now I'd have figured out how to not procrastinate on getting work done until the night before. You'd think so, wouldn't you? How naive.)
Financial aid disbursement day was yesterday, which meant that I got all my money for the quarter in one lump sum. I'm going to try to be good this quarter and not buy things I don't need,* though after the initial amount of money I drop for the usual things, I'll probably have whiplash in my back and will be lying in bed for it anyway.
* Among the list of things I do need: More magazine, the Arashi DVD, miscellaneous Nino things. Also, food or whatever.
Speaking of Nino things, I bit the bullet and bought a ticket for GANTZ.** Since it's public transportation to get there, next week I'm going to do a dry run to make sure I know how to get to the theatre and back. For the night of, I've been maybe-jokingly considering wearing my yellow platform pumps, for Nino, but that would involve 45 minutes of public transportation either way in yellow platform pumps. Besides, if there's anyone I'm dressing up for that night, it's Morgan Freeman.***
** I rail against GANTZ for silly ideological reasons (because the original manga is kind of disgusting and full of chauvinism and misogyny and rape and myriad other things I'm not a big fan of; and while I try to be forgiving of things like that ("things like that") if I feel like there's some redeeming quality there, I really just thought it was a pile of garbage, and I couldn't get past the first volume), and I don't like the idea of giving money to the enterprise. But even as such, I think I'd regret not seeing Nino on the big screen, and I really want to support Nino as an individual, even if his choices in manga to be a fan of don't suit me. So it's with a little guilt and resignation that I'm going, but there you have it. Plus, he looks damn good in the GANTZ suit, NEGL.+
+ As always, this is just my opinion. I'm not going to rant at you or judge you or argue with you if you don't feel the same way or if you're really excited about the movie or you simply don't care.
*** This is an inside joke.
And now, back to 竹取物語.
