Listening to: "Saranai Tatakau Mono Tachi (FFVII AC version)" - Nobuo UematsuSorry for not getting around to everyone's sites. myOtaku has been loaded really slowly for me.
Oh man, I just got amazing news! As most of you have heard, Shinichiro Watanabe, the creator of Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo, is lecturing at the Houston Museum of Natural Science, which is walking distance from Rice University. I was stoked about that already, but now I get an e-mail from the anime club president that 5 members are invited to go to a reception hosted by the Japanese Consulate General for Watanabe-sensei the day before the lecture. As an officer, I get first choice (of course, my answer was "heck yeah"). It's gonna be so cool!
Backtracking now, I went to a biosciences internship fair this afternoon. I was so glad that Becky and Amanda were there b/c they knew what questions to ask. Both have already had lab experience so I just kind of stood there and listened.
Rewinding even more, BakerShake auditions for Cymbeline were last night. They continue tonight, and I'm going again b/c I get to read more scenes. The auditions are different in that all of the applicants are in the room and we take turns reading out scenes. The laid-back atmosphere makes it less stressful and more fun. Cymbeline is an obscure Shakespeare play, but I recommend it b/c its plot sounds a whole lot like something you would find in anime.
Quote of the day:
"I'll do something!" - Postumus Leonatus, after ranting about how women are evil and plotting revenge since he thought his wife cheated on him, in Cymbeline by William Shakespeare
Exciting news!
