.... and university at first:
I am at about 60-70 % now, learning for my Japanese exam next week - concerning Vocabulary and Grammar. Active kanji are at 90 %, passive kanji like... 20 % <<< AHAHAHA!!!
But I guess I will manage at least 60 % up till Wednesday. If not I have still one option left: improvisation and a sharp glance onto my neighbours tests XD;
... and life itself secondly:
Nadine's cousin Laura payed a visit. She is still here actually. And she is beautiful :D
Oh hell.. she really is. Long reddish hair, nice body. Bla bla. hawt XD
The only bad thing: She has a baby. And it SCREAMS @__________@ and it shits and it is.. a baby after all.
That's why I'm hiding in my room most of the time.
Ahaha ;)
.... finally ~~~~ books:
Ohohoho last year I barely read 5 books, this year, and we still have January people, it've been 4 so far, and like dozens of manga xD;
The last book I finished was "Kafka on the Shore" from Murakami. I borrowed it from an uni-friend and first I wasn't sure if it be good or a complete waste.
I decided for the first solution.
I donnu if you people read it, but I, for me, must say that I didn't understand certain parts of it. There are still lots of questions unanswered at the end of the story. One of them might be, what happened to Hoshino after all. Haha, I liked him very much and was anxious to get to know how he would live after all the incidents. Unfortunately, nothing about that was said, after all.
Another point was Oshima's brother, whose name I forgot. I mean... he met the two soldiers, too. Obviously. And I SO wanted to know what he said to them, back then. If he got through the "entrance", or not. And if he went through, what he saw and experienced there.
Then, Oshima, again. Oh lol... I guess I read too much stories, the first thing I thought, when he appeared was: "Gay! Or he actually is female."
Ehm... I was right, haha in both of them. ^^"
Furthermore I didn't understand what actually happened to the 16 children back in 1944 on the ricebowl hill.
I mean, nearly all of the incidents in "Kafka on the Shore" happen in Yamanashi-ken, and I can't stop thinking, that the ricebowl hill and the hill, where Oshima and his brother's cabin is situated, are the same. Obvious, somehow?
Hm... also, the clearing, where Kafka rests in the forest seems to be the same, where the 16 children lost their conciousness.
It is also clear, that Nakata opened the "entrance" back then... and I can't stop the thought that it happened because he lifted the "entrance" stone, where his teacher hid the cloths, with whom she tried to stop her bleeding.
She never said it, not even in the letter, she wrote. But I guess, that she hid it under the stone... and Nakata found it and.. hmm I can't recall why I think so, but I can somehow remember reading something connected to blood and the "entrance stone". Maybe the teacher's blood was a catalyst for the door to the other world's opening?
Does anyone of you have some ideas concerning this?
*sigh* I'm even thinking of this now. XD;
Everytime when I read the book I was completely lost, which means, that it was good O_O".
I read lots of books but there are only a few, where I completely lost attention to my surroundings.
Besides, I like Murakami's writing style. It's just like he spit the words out and left them where they are, perfectly unfitting sometimes, but still so true and understandable. He does not euphemise. When he wants his characters to think "fuck", he just lets them think (and do, of course). Yet, his style seems very Japanese to me (which is kinda clear, because he is Japanese). But in the way he describes the nature and all the environmental facts, he writes just like no Non-Japanese would do ^^°.
Plus: I lol'd so hard at the "Johnnie Walker"-part (just the name! The happenings were more than shocking) and the "KFC Colonel Sanders" dude. OMG! I mean.. how crazy can one person be? Using Colonel Sanders as a pimp? I cried. Literary. :D
All in all the book is worth reading. A lot!
Now on to Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight". I'm still not finished, which is good.. maybe, because I should learn and not read ^^""".
But I promised to share my thought about it, and that's what I will do now:
Like I said in my last entry, I was (and still am) not sure if "Twilight" deserves all the attention it gets. The opinions of my friends are 50/50 wether this book is THE awesomness or THE shit.
Hm... as far as I can say (I'm at chapter 10 'Interrogations') the book seems to be readable*gets kicked from all the fans and glances from the haters* No, no... ;D
I must admit, the story seems to be good and I am willing to read the other books, too.(I won't say, that I ordered them <all> just now >> too much money? xD; No just because of the special offers on amazon.com)
Since I'm not able the resume, because I'm not finished, yet. I will just share some thoughts. Positive ones, and oh YES! negative ones, too :D
First: Isabella Swan. I lol'd (I like doing that, it seems.) She is SO clumsy. I don't know why, but when "she" mentioned that she stumbles like every second, is bad at sports and always hurts herself and keeps getting in trouble, I just couldn't stop laughing. This was so screaming for: I NEED A HERO!
What I really like about her, is:
1. her hair :D
2. her character in some ways. -> She seems to be strict. When she made decisions, she stands by them. That's strong. Sometimes I wish I wouldn't be that unstable ^^°. On the other hand this feature in her character is dangerous. I don't know in how many ways she will get to know this, soon, but I know that she will xD;
3. (and that should be on the first place, actually) her CAR *_* - red - CHEVI <3<3<3 - truck <-- okay this is kinda uncool, but hey, it's a frickin' CHEVROLET *________*~~~
I love Chevrolets, although they surely go far beyond my sense of ecology ^^°°°°°.
But I can't help it. Roarrrr~~
What else? Ah, I nearly DIED! when Bella was outside reading... reading Jane Austen. JANE AUSTEN?!?!?!?! fkajgkdjglksajtkvl!!! If there is any other bad and raging thing to me than Theodor Fontane's "Effi Briest", it can only be Jane Austen's "Sense and Sensibility" and every other shit, she ever dared to write. *cough*
Sorry, dudes, no offence if anyone of you should like her œuvres, but I just can't stand her. Bah!
That was one moment, when I thought: Qan! Put away that book, it could change into a Jane Austen copy ~ wuaaaaah!
It did not... yet.
Second: Edward Cullen.
His first appearance - the black eyes, when his gaze met Bellas. My thoughts: "Oh, he is thirsty."
... ehm.. lol? xD Okay, that was obvious.
I'm not sure yet, whether I like him or not. He just seems to be... hmmm strangely perfect.
I mean.. okay, it was clear, that he would be THE hottest guy out there, that he would take care for Bella, was obvious, too.
But... what was that with Tyler's van?
OKAY. All vampires have super natural strength. But... "[...] the deep dent in the tan car's bumper -- a very distinct dent that fit the contours of Edward's shoulders" ... I couldn't stop thinking about comics, where a person jumped through a window, or door, or wall, or whatever and left a hole with their contours.
What I like about him is his trying not to touch her. How long, is the question. But I like the fact, that they don't touch that easily.
Hm.. about the fact, when he meets the sun, I already spoilered myself and I'm eager to know how Meyer will describe it. I'm curious if she manages it, that this doesn't sounds hilarious.
About the vampire myths at all:
Friends of mine were disturbed by the fact, that they don't have to sleep at daytime, are able to meet the sun and stuff. But I kinda find it interesting. Meyer dares to overthrow all the common thoughts about vampires and that's brave, I guess.
I don't know how exactly she will set "her" vampires, but as far as I know now, it could be quite cool. (Okay, the thing with glimmering in the sun is a little... okay... VERY awkward, but hey... it's just one thing - up till now.)
When Jacob Black appeared, I was like: Antagonist? Another lover? Who is he? ARGHGH!
(Why oh why do I have to think in ways, authors do, seriously? Hm.. but I think he will be like a brother or something to Bella. Donnu if elder or younger, like he actually is... but something like that.)
The werewolf part. WOW! I like werewolves. A lot :D As explanation for the Quileutes' history it seems a little strange, but I can't say anything against it. Fantasy and stuff.
Hmm.. what else?
Ah, yes, the writing style. I like the way she evolves her sentences. The pattern of them is very good. She uses inversions a lot and metaphors.. ooooh and puns <3
There was one, before Bella got to school the first time... something like "nobody will bite me". Ahaha ;)
To the plot: Hm... there are a few questions that I (fortunately) am not able to answer from my current state of reading. That means, there is potential in it. But on the other hand, there were a few things, just like the happenings at Port Angeles, that were SO obvious.
I NEED A HERO, y'know? ;D
Also the fact, that Bella is first: able to smell blood (I can do that, too. Vampire for love out there? xD~) and that she is getting sick because of that. Nihihihi. It was kind of clear, that she would be kinda "similar" to Edward in that certain point.
Okay he is gettinghorny thirsty, but when he doesn't get his blood, he feels shitty, too. ;D
Trivia:
I guess I LOVE Alice a lot. Guess she is the pixie-like, black spiky-haired? Roaaaarrrr *_* I imagine her as utterly sexy XD;
Too bad, she is involved with... donnu one of the others. Hahaha~~
Wanna know more about her, soon. <3
Okay, that'd be for the first time.
You see.. I'm not becoming a victim nor a hater of the story. Guess, that's a good point for enjoying it :)
Yep, that's it, so far. The next books coming on my list are "The Geisha" by Arthur Golden and "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" by J. K. Rowling.
(and my university folders... ahahaha xD)
Have a good night, dudes :D
