It's rainy season...

My eyes itch. I mean seriously. Why is that?

Anyway, I'm back at the library writing up a note sheet for the seminar I have tomorrow. It kind of bums. Oh well. Anyway. I've been thinking a lot about stuff that I don't really know much about.

The other day this friend of mine, Hiroshi, started a discussion about Nuclear Power Plants and alternative sources of electricity and about how different countries tackle the worry over nuclear leaks or problems that could be caused by those nuclear power plants. Anyway. I couldn't really follow her conversation. Even though I know what nuclear power plants are, I don't know anything about the stuff in the conversation she started. It was a little shocking for me.

I mean, stuff like this is almost like background knowledge for these people. I mean I know I've got stuff only I know too but I don't think I know it as well as they seem to know their stuff. Not good.

Anyway this note sheet is starting to worry me, I've been at it for almost 2 hours and I've only wirtten, like, 9 lines? Oh dearrr.... I've still got about 3/4ths of the page left. Oh myyyy....

Has anyone else out there ever watched Everything Is Illuminated? This book, well, movie actually (based on the book), is awesome. It's a must-must read for everyone out there! The movie was kind of awesome- I watched it with Japanese subs (with the rest of my class) the language of the film was in Russian, English and broken English. One of the main characters in there had been doing translating within the film and it's not always literally translated which is awesome because you see both English and Japanese subtitles work their own magic and translate the movie their own ways anyway.

My class was about translation (we don't translate things in class, just study about translation). The movie was awesome. Seriously. Must watch. I just placed an order on the book because I really want to read what the original must have been like.
