my avatar

Not sure...

Ok, obvious question... where did you get your avatar?

Actually, never mind. I've examined both closely and it isn't. Case closed.

Where did you find the avatar?

What about this one?

What about this one?

Does anybody know if the avatar I'm using is a piece of Hokusi's Great Wave print? I keep looking at it and it seems to be. It's driving me nuts.

Yes it is. He worked so small = 80 x 80 some such, no?

Smile! Was just joking, UK?

How am I supposed to closely examine that? What's it called?

I found it here: http://www.stencil-library.com/docs/cat020.htm

It's called Hokusai Wave on their site... and that's what I googled.

Smile + Congratulations Saritam. You really have dug it out!

Smile + Congratulations + Saritam = Smatu Samar in short form.

If there're lots of pictures hanging in your head, sir, you'd know that his name is spelled Hokusai.

Ah. You're a miss.

And yes, I do believe it was.

Hah. I spell terribly, to tell the truth: I'm just sensitive about my area of study, which is Japanese. And you were asking such a silly question: not answering where you found the avatar, etc., which naturally gets on my nerves -- so I felt the need to be nasty, as I'm wont to do.

I apologize for my mood, but not for what I said

Are you studying Japanese at the UofA? If so, how does that program stack up compared with others around the country?

If you know, of course.

I'm actually at ASU, and though it's a crappy school overall, the Japanese program is one of the best. I don't know actual rankings or anything, but we've got some big names, good scholars, plugging us with information.

Many of our undergrads continue with the program at ASU through grad school because our professors really know their stuff.

I think Columbia and Middlebury are pretty impressive rivals when it comes to their Japanese programs, but comparatively speaking, keeping ASU's tuition in mind, we don't have it bad at all.

I know that's not really a definite answer to your question, but that's about all I have to offer

I apologize, Christine. I really am in a rotten mood today

Ahhh, Tempe. For some reason I thought you were in Tucson. Thanks anyway. If Tempe didn't have Phoenix attached to it, I'd be living there right now. I was up there for a year, but I ended up getting sucked back here.
