Hey, internet.

Do you know how much I love you?



I've had a post with half a review of volume 1 of Ōoku sitting in my drafts since the halcyon days of December 4th. It's a little end of term crunch-time-y around here at the moment, so I'll finish and post it when I've handed in my essay on the 16th. Short version: OMG I AM IN LOVE WITH EVERYTHING. Why are my copies of volume 2 - 4 not here yet, Amazon?

I also took the JLPT N4 on the 5th. It was pretty easy, actually, considering that I haven't studied that much in the last month. Unless of course I did terribly and don't realise it. :P

Oh, and the government hates students. Great. I considered going to the demo, but decided in favour of essay work and tutor meetings in the end. At least I didn't get hit in the head with a horse this way. :/

A bit late to the party but IS OOKU THE BEST THING EVER, OR WHAT? It's so difficult to explain the awesomeness since there is so much of it!

OH MAN OOKU. I still haven't finished writing that review post because urgh who invented postgrad degrees anyway, BUT YES. BEST THING. Occasionally it is kind of "all the men died -- except the pretty ones", but the characterisation is so good I pretty much forgive it. Also I love the way all of the characters are individuals but also really obviously products of their time and culture, not just modern people in historical costume. I should save this for the review post or else I will never finish writing it.

In conclusion: "Prithee."
