Augh.  Obviously, if you bothered paying attention to my efforts to engage in the now-traditional “12 moments” project, you know I failed.  Mostly I blame my too-busy semester, during which I watched almost no anime.  As my professor (who sometimes reads my blogs — hello, if you’re reading this one!) said, it was indeed true that I had to put my anime blogging aside for the semester.  I’m going to try not to take four full classes like that again…  it’s, uh, a little extreme.

But you’re not here to listen to me whine (or are you?  Maybe we’d get more hits if I just whined about things).  I’m going on an adventure through an essay by Robert Scholes called “The Roots of Science Fiction.”
