Pics

hey guys, sorry for not being at class, but i've beena little down and out with a bit of a vius or some sort. i thought it was a fever for hanging around nitobe garden too much (when it started to rain pretty heavily) or food poisoning from kent's kitchen before work. either way, i'm paying for something... :S

anyways, here's a link to my school ftp. due to the craptastic weather i didn't really take many shots, or at least many good ones. i mean, you can see i started to get desperate for shots when you can actually see how heavily it was raining in the actual picture (that's how long i stayed). i uploaded some of the better ones from tuesday, as well as some from last fall, just to compare and contrast. i mean, since we are talking about seasons more this semester, it'll be nice to get a sense of pathos one gets from one season to another.

(let me know if the pics aren't showing and i'll try to fix it up asap)

hey guy and gals, sorry for missing class today.

anyways, i thought that maybe i could bounce some ideas off you about my presentation. now, i'll admit right now that my presentation will probably be the least academic one thus far, as it's really more about sharing japanese media. however, the way things work out, the media (3-4 music video clips) have a bunch of guys sitting together reflecting on women in their lives, a.k.a. Ch. 2 of Genji: The Broom Tree. Iim going over the song lyrics myself right now to find parallels between them and Genji, but for the presentation, i'll probably only show the clips of the guys talking rather than the music videos. fortunately i was able to find one site that had some translations for the lyrics i need, and i also asked prof O to help me translate the dialogues (which i still need to get from him).

rather than copying and pasting the lyrics, i'll make a link to the lyrics/translations.
Song 1 - You
Song 2 - Feel
Song 3 - Lies
Song 4 - Someday (not sure if i'll use this, depends on time...)

if you guys have a chance, just skim the translated lyrics and tell me what they remind you of :)
