(no subject)
Oct. 21st, 2009 07:05 pmI had yet another Yoko Kanno dream the night before last. XD I think this makes Yoko Kanno tied for "Theme that Most Appears in My Dreams" along with my pets and anime conventions.
( Writing dream down, more for my reference/amusement than anyone else's. )
On a related subject, I STILL can't understand or accept the fact that I've seen her live. It was like a dream! *____* I try to comprehend this fact and my mind just goes *Sputter, crackle, shut off.* I do still hope someday I get to meet her and shake her hand, get her autograph, and talk to her, even if only for a second, though. Someday, someday! I do have some connections, so it's certainly not impossible. I am SO grateful and amazed that I got to see her in concert, (and especially that particular concert, which was as perfect of a concert as I will ever see--with the Philharmonic Orchestra, all the vocalists, the choices of music, the bird theme to the concert, and so on) as that dream was more far-fetched and unlikely than anything else, really.
I gave my presentation on the Ethical Dilemmas Surrounding Human Consumption of Meat today, after rushing through making the project and writing the paper in the twenty-four hours before the class. It's rather nerve-wracking standing up in front of a class of people--most likely all or mostly people who eat meat--and talking about the evils of factory farming and whatnot. That said, despite my dry mouth and fumbling through the presentation, it was surprisingly very well received! I also showed the first ten minutes of Earthlings (before it gets extremely graphic), and everyone seemed impressed. The other girl in the class who is pre-vet was talking with me about my presentation afterwards, and one guy in the class told me it was a great presentation, introduced himself, and said he's planning on watching Earthlings when he gets home. :D And my professor liked it, too, but he's really nice and easy to please, so. XD;; I was more concerned about my classmates.
REALLY looking forward to Yaoi-Con! It's going to be so fun! \o/ I have a room now, by the way, and it has an open spot or two if anyone needs somewhere to crash.
Things I want to do tomorrow:
- Something with Honey (walk + dog park?)
- NaNo planning
- E-mail about guinea pigs
- Post chicken and duck pictures!
