pacificpikachuI 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.
The dream took place after the Yoko Kanno concert I went to in July. Apparently, in the dream, if you came after the concert, you could meet Yoko Kanno, which I was very excited about. However, there was a limited amount of time during which you could do this, as the concert was in a movie theater and they were going to play a screening of Where the Wild Things are a certain amount of time after the concert. Myself and some other people were crowded around Yoko Kanno in the back of the theater, but because the guy who owned the theater wanted us out so he could start the screening, he bribed myself and some of the other people with DVDs to leave and come back the next day. The person in front of me got some decently interesting DVD, but then the guy was going to give me some crummy DVD I didn't want so I just refused to take it and left.
I came back the next day, and Yoko Kanno lead myself and a few other people into a room, and proceeded to talk about some arbitrary subjects (something involving something pink, birds, other things?). The whole dream I was trying to take a picture, but I couldn't find batteries for my camera in my bag and was basically freaking out about this. Eventually, I got to talk to her, and thankfully she understood about enough English that I could communicate all right. Still, I was struggling with the camera and trying to find the batteries but they were nowhere to be found.
That's all I remember.
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!
