I like Japanese food - particularly sushi and sashimi - as one part of a wide variety of national cuisines available for my prandial oblectation. But, as I am now back in Japan, I cannot refrain from noting that sushi preparation techniques should be confined to comestibles. Witness Japanese English, a pernicious weed in the garden of second ( Read more... )

It's JIM!!!

How's it going? Glad to hear from you!

Hi Joseph!
Sorry it's been such a long time. I did in fact write a long e-mail several months ago, but it turns out that all the e-mail that I had been sending from that cafe was coming through blank. In some ways so much and in other ways so little has changed that it will really take another e-mail to begin to fill in the blanks! I checked out your journal: Congratulations on your A+'s! I knew you had it in you, and I'm glad that you now know it too. So much to say... But I'll stop here for now. P.S. One of the things that I remember writing in my lost e-mail was that I think you'd make a fantastic southern historian. Now that I've seen a few of your entries on the subject, I'm even more confirmed in that view.

Holy Shit.

That's all I think I can say.

Holy Shit.

Hey! asashouryuu June 14 2006, 05:04:59 UTC

Surely there's more to say than that?! Sorry I've been incommunicado for so long. How're classics studies going? I'm more envious than ever since I've pretty much ceased all my studies for some time now. And Brian? I wish we could've gone out on the town at least once more before we all scattered like dandylions in September.

Studies are going well. I graduate in December with BA's in Latin and History. I am taking my GRE today and I'm scared to death. I want to apply to Ph.D programs rather than MA's. Whatever, we'll see how it works out.

Brian is doing well. He still enjoys his job, just not his bosses. We are getting married next summer and I think the post reception might include lots of beer.

I did not heed your advice regarding Greek, I did exactly what you told me not to. So my goal for this summer is to scramble and make sense of it all. I'm pretty good for the first 25 chapters, after that its all downhill.

Booo.

Post some pictures of your child. I'm sure she isn't crawling around in poppy diapers. Is she now two?
What are you doing? Teaching?

Re: Hey! kalon_kakon June 15 2006, 04:27:00 UTC

I hope she isn't crawling around in poppy diapers (that would be quite stylish though), but what I meant to say was POOPY diapers.
