We're on a Japanese poetry unit in class right now, and I've realized I have no appreciation of Japanese poetry, especially not from the Heian era. It's all either love poetry (blech), poetry about nature, or shit getting on people's sleeves. What the fuck.
I DEMAND MORE EPIC WAR BALLADS.
I also am confused by how てふ is supposed to be said as ちょう. Well, that explains a lot of me looking at the poetry last night and being WTF IS THIS てふ SHIT?! Japan is weird. :(
Beat Sakamoto and his shitty little Cappucino at Shomaru pass today. Took quite a while because I still suck at all the big corners. :( Probably because I'm a throttle whore and refuse to brake. (Why? Going faster is fun. Must maximize the derivative of my velocity.) Somehow my brain doesn't take into account the fact that banging off the walls will SLOW ME DOWN a lot. I keep trying to brake, but I'm always to late. I really gotta stop that if I want to get better. *bangs head against wall*
Anyways, here have a tanka:
Skuld still kind of sucks
at Initial D because she
doesn't like to brake
This will cause her immense pain
if she doesn't fix it soon
