I don't have a whole lot to yap about at the moment, what with school being out and all, so I'll regale you with some interesting nuggets o' Japanese language this week. So let's dust off the DFP KaiSho Medium font and get to work! First off, we've got this: how to...

Somebody Kill Me
Hoo-lee fuck, Friday sucked. With the exception of the pictures, today is going to be one big bitch-fest, so if you don't like listening to me complain (and who doesn't like that?), go away. The day started with graduation, which went as you would expect. An...
Quiet, or you’ll taste the back o’ me hand!
Well, another school year is wrapping up at Higashi Chu. The graduation ceremony is tomorrow already. Yesterday was the last Adopt Program Trash expedition. I think these kids need to graduate more often, because they were getting more trash yesterday then on all the...
On the Transient Nature of Familiarity, or A Trip to Costco, Woohoo!!

Same old rules: No eyes, No groin
Man, this has just turned out to be a janken kind of week. Today, as it's finals week at Jr. High there's no classes since everyone is busy flunking tests, so I went to elementary school again, this time with first-graders. Upon arriving, I was introduced to a Korean...
The Indisputable Authority of Janken
As part of my year-end review at 2nd grade elementary school today, we did janken in English. For those of you that aren't aware, janken is the Japanese version of Paper, Scissors, Rock and is ubiquitous in Japan, particularly in schools of all levels. It's used to...
