- I re-read a couple volumes of Ranma. "St. Bacchus High School" and "Kolkhoz High School," huh.
I first read Ranma when I was about twelve, and I assume that it did not occur to me at the time that "Kolkhoz" might not be a Japanese word. But I knew Greek mythology, and yet I do not recall thinking anything in particular about the name of Kodachi's school. - I also read Jeff Smith's Shazam! The Monster Society of Evil. Jeff Smith, these giant robots look suspiciously like the rat creatures from Bone. Also, in this comic, everything that happens happens for essentially no reason. Not that I mind! It's way too cute for me to mind!
- Apparently Saburo Ienaga went to school in Aichi and taught in Niigata! I totally followed in his footsteps! Except for, you know, the part with all the fighting for justice. I need to get out and do that more.
- Sometimes I just feel the urge to shout, "Fools! I'll destroy you all!"
Relatedly, I'm considering engineering school.
From an email I sent to Mom today:
Yesterday I was in a used bookstore and saw the first five volumes of the comic book Bone for sale half-off. You may remember it as the extremely thick comic book - 1300 pages - that I'd borrowed from the library which![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
thegeekgene* managed to read all of on the drive to see, I think, U of Chicago and Beloit. She finished it up as you guys were dropping me off back at the dorm.
I had been thinking about re-reading it, and I'd rather have the multi-volume color version than the one-volume black-and-white, so I got them. Todaythegeekgene texted me wanting to know if I'd ever actually bought a copy. Clearly her long-latent psychic powers are finally emerging. Or else mine are. Possibly both. Tests will be necessary.

* I do not actually refer tothegeekgene by her LiveJournal name in correspondence with her mother. Though Mom reads my blog and knows our screen names, so far as I know she does not herself have a LJ, or even a DW (though I hold that getting them would probably aid her in her eternal quest for like, Lensman slash, or Foundation slash or whatever kind of prehistoric slash it is that she's reading over there). The convention would not, therefore, be appropriate. I feel certain that Miss Manners would agree.
