And I so wish I went straight!

Okay, so obviously I'm not gay. Matter of fact, after watching "Visitor Q" this weekend, I've probably lost all sense of sexuality whatsoever. It's very sad. I've lost my innocence and can no longer proclaim that I've never watched a porno. I mean, technically it wasn't a porno, but it might as well have been one. *shudders*
While I mourn over something of relatively no importance, many tragic things are going on in the world that I ought to care more about, speaking principally of the disasters that are currently devastating Japan.
I don't have internet for more than 15 minutes at a time, nor do I have any access to television, but from the snippets I catch on Twitter and Facebook (God, who knew that I would grow solely dependent on social networking sites?), it sounds pretty horrible.  What makes this three hundred times worse for me is that I feel almost nothing.  I continue to live my life, read pirated manga, and watch foreign language films without a care in the world. I hate to beat myself up, but what the hell is wrong with me?  Even the fact that I dwell solely on my inability to sympathize disgusts me.
The only chance I have at an excuse is school.  There's been an unbelievable amount of work lately, and its been a *$&'% trying to keep up. I mean, it would be easy if I had just refrained from procastinating, but now that I'm in this pit I really don't feel like climbing out.  Hence the title of this post, which is a reference to.the song "Simple Twist of Fate" by Bob Dylan.
Well, now that I've finished with my confession, I suppose I can move on to slightly more interesting topics.
First, I am blogging off of Nee-san's new Android! It feels so exciting to be writing a document on a phone. Like in the movies!
I am fully submerging myself into the world of east Asian literature. I am currently reading the famous Japanese play "Chusingura", an anthology on modern Japanese poetry (the only poet who has caught my attention so far is Takamura Kotaro.  See my other blog for details) and the classic "Rickshaw Boy" by She Lao.  I recently finished the novel "The Fourth Treasure" by Todd Shimoda, another really great read.  I'm also going to try to enter the Sejong writing comoetition, so I'll be reading and doing research on the Korean classic "Cranes".
Ive cut down my manga intake to the bare essentials and am now reading little else besides Noblesse,Bakuman, Skip Beat, Oresama Sensei, and Tower of God.  Today, however, I found another manga that piqued my interest: Kimi Knife.  It's about a highschool teacher named Shiki who has to kill criminals in order to get 5 million yen (to buy medicine for his hospitalized sister, who has terminal cancer).  This kind of plot usually wouldn't interest me, but because I recently read the section in my sociology textbook about the development of morality, it seemed like a pretty good way to apply knowledge to the "real world".
Well, enough with the nonsense.  It's nice to be blogging about nothing in particular again. Jaa, Mata ne, Minna!
