Update
There is only three more weeks left in the term, so things look like they are gonna get busy at school. I've been thinking more about karate than school lately. I'm in the dojo pretty much every weekday, so I'll probably have to cut that down for now. I have a three week break before next term, so I'll might make up the time then. One of my college teachers said that she'll lend me her binder from a Microsoft SQL course (although not the videos as they are under a single-user license :( ), so I might study for the 70–431 certification over the break. That seems like the most useful certification to do next.

Katas I'm working on for the next grading are Seiru and Sushi no Kon. I'll also need Byaku. I've also worked on Noboriru, Arakaki no Jo, and Tensho. Next Tuesday, we'll do Techu no Kata.

I'm reading Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra. I'm on part four. Somehow I've never read it before, even though I have read a lot of excerpts from it before. I also used to like to flip through it in high school in order to find quotes involving monkeys ("Man is more of an ape than any of the apes" [or something like that]). It all feels very familiar though. The book is not quite what I thought it was going to be. It's more poetry than philosophy. I just picked up the Routledge Guidebook to him on Morality and the Cambridge Companion, so I might read those fairly soon.

I've read Stephen Colbert's book (meh, not a good as his show), Robert Anton Wilson's Wilhelm Reich in Hell, Patrick McCarthy's translation of Bubishi, and Richard Kim's Weaponless Warriors. I also read all the text bits in Richard Kim's Kobudo, but that is mostly kobudo kata pictures. I've been going through Don Warrener's Advanced Traditional Goju Ryu Karate, but it's not really a book you read straight through.
