The Manga Chapters Mock Me, I swear....
Sep. 12th, 2014 09:05 amMason and I just can't seem to figure this timing thing out. Because we podcasted on Wednesday afternoon, I swear all my monthly manga decided to up-date at once. I wrote up Blue Exorcist yesterday, and this morning I have a review for you of Chapter #61 of Shingeki no Kyojin/Attack on Titan.
In other news, I tried to sign both Mason and I up for Japanese, but the class through Community Ed. had an age restriction--you had to be 16 or older. I considered faking Mason's age, but then decided that while he might pass for 13, no way he looked 16. I'm very bummed about this as you can imagine, because Mason is my big otaku colleague. He's also WAY better at languages than I am--at least he is quick to remember names and pronunciations of our favorite characters. However, I told him that I was still counting on him to be my study buddy, so hopefully he can learn along with me.
That starts up in October.
Speaking of things coming-up, you can now register your teen for the "Teen Writing Conference" at the Loft, where I will be teaching "Capturing Kudos: Pro Tips for Improving Your Fan Fic." https://www.loft.org/programs__awards/educational_programs/writing_conferences/ I should note that the conference is actually FREE. So, if you have someone who is 13 - 17 years old in your life, who normally doesn't have the money or the time for a Loft class, this is a spectacular opportunity. I won't even be offended if they're not interested in my class!
If you're a local adult looking to learn more about fan fic writing from some grizzled pros, Rachel and I will be teaching a class for adults in the winter season. As soon as you can register for that, I'll post info here. (The problem there, of course, is that those classes are NOT free, though it should be noted that he Loft does provide scholarships for reduced class fees.)
I will also, should enough students sign-up, be teaching science fiction to adults at the Loft again in the winter.
Also, if you just miss seeing me about town, remember I'm going to be at Common Good Books doing this discussion of the Hobbit Book v. Movie: http://www.commongoodbooks.com/event/“‘-wasn’t-book’-discussion-hobbit-page-and-screen” here in September, on the 22nd!
