My library must hate Japan.
So. Went to the library, thinking to find a good dictionary of Japanese names. Couldn't find one. So, I thought to myself, well, let's find some informative books on Japanese history! Specifically, the Bakumatsu revolution! Couldn't find one. In fact, the only item that came up when I searched on "bakumatsu" was Rurouni Kenshin manga. The first four of which I own. Not helpful.
So, dear Aurus, why not find some books on Samurai in general? Couldn't find anything informative and non-fiction. Well... don't lose hope... let's search on Bushido, since that's the samurai code and stuff, that's informative. Search. All the results but one are checked out.
C'mon, don't lose hope - let's go find that one book. How hard can it be to find?
DING! Famous last words!
The book was on the wrong freaking shelf. I found it by a lucky glance.
I don't like my library much anymore.
Oh well... at least I have one book on Bushido to devour. Aurus is remotely happy.
And if anyone can recommend a website that has a nice, comprehensive, accurate list of Japanese given names and their meanings, I would love you if you could direct me to it. I have found several, all of which conflict dreadfully.
Aurus rather feels like bitching out somebody she doesn't know. Doesn't know why... just does. Oh yeah.
