Yes, I’m watching Gurren Lagann on the side, and I just finished episode 16. Damn, this is hands down the absolute best flashback episode I’ve ever seen – as well as the best Gurren Lagann episode for me so far.

So CS3216 is kicking off again with the first lecture starting today and yes, I’m tutoring again. I was just down at the prof’s blog and part of his kick-start post addressed his motivations for emotional-blackmailing asking his students to blog the course. Here is an excerpt:
The thing about blogs is that there’s some ownership. When a student blogs, it makes a statement about who he/she is. Very few people want to make a statement to others that “I’m a loser”.
In this light, when “forced” to blog, students will spend a lot more effort thinking about what to say and how they want to say it. It is not so much the blogging that the learning takes place, but in the agonizing over what to write where people will learn something.
They are forced to take stock of what they have heard/seen and draw conclusions. That’s important. Many people go through life not thinking hard about what they have see or heard.
I’m just gonna muse a little on that here.
Since I was rudely interrupted in the course of blogging the current season (by the violent atomification of my old blog), I’ve decided to give that up, and instead take inspiration from Dustin’s Evangelion post and make a side trip down memory’s lane to revisit some of the older but highly deserving shows that I haven’t had a chance to feature. Or, in the case of Clannad, that I feel my previous writings had failed to do proper justice to.
This is kind of random, but I just had a conversation with a friend and ended up telling a ‘story’ of sorts that I think is worth reposting here. Here it is, slightly abridged, after the jump.
