Research Papers without Research
Mar. 29th, 2004 01:13 amI try. I'm trying so hard. But I really don't know how to write a paper without putting in my own opinion and experience... especially one about Japanese culture. I know all I really need to do is summarize the articles, but there's so much more to be said... and it's hard to link them together without using theret of my brain.
So here's just a touch of procrastination.
Long story short:
Today (yesterday) was an Olivie day (sorry Julious!). His song is amazing, and I just seemed to have a boundless store of happy-fluff to keep between me and the world.
( Animate adventures )
I should go to bed if I can't write anymore on my paper. I know this. But I made the mistake of turning on KUNC. And my brain has latched onto it like a lifeline. It's sunday morning on KUNC. My day. Still morning edition, with Car Talk coming along in a bit here and Prairie Home Companion after that. The fact that Thistle & Shamrock isn't on until 5 AM Japan time.
I chase my brain around in circles. It wants more than anything to run away, to hide from reality, and it will take any chance to do it. I won't let myself even look at fics or (until a few minutes ago) LJ, so my brain runs to other things: 'This American Life' and now KUNC. Things that normally should encourage me to work, but instead mush my brain into this needing, longing, homesick pulp.
I'm slowly remembering... I love music. I don't know how I ever forgot. I love strong old gospels, and hyper-bouncy jpop, old-style celtic ballads, 60s rock, and dark european club mixes. Yeah, that's what I think when I listen to things like the music segments of NPR's Morning Edition. And now I don't think I can let myself run away any more, so I'll try to face the paper again. And probably end up sleeping. We'll see.
Current Bishoujo: Sakamoto Maaya
Current Bishounen: Sugita Tomokazu (for no apparent reason, just the first name and face to come to mind).
