My element reigns again.

Sep. 4th, 2010 06:45 pm
While I was waiting for the bus today, the wind picked up - and it was cold. I felt as if I had come back to life, or as if my body was retaking its true form, put aside for half a year. Hide your faces, weak children of the sun, for my time is at hand.

Are there any really good translations of Jin Yong/Louis Cha books? I've been trying to read Fox Volant of Snowy Mountain, but it's so stilted it's impossible to concentrate on the actual story. I can't even take a red pen to it - the badness is too diffuse. The guy sold 100 million books, so I'm assuming the translation is the problem.

Thoughts.

  • 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.
