Yesterday I recalled a time in Maruki's class when he was talking about laughter. The question was why do we laugh? Apparently one anthropological assertion is that laughter is a form of aggressively showing one's teeth. Generally a concensus was reached that the class did not buy that explaination. I wonder...maybe there are kinds of laughter ( Read more... )

I hate killing time before my last class on a Friday. It is always very tempting to skip, but I have a paper proposal due today and it would be bad if I didn't show my face. In other words, I am updating because I am bored. This journal update is a complete waste of time both in reading and writing it. For your sake, scroll past it and continue ( Read more... )

I have had three cups of coffee today. Now I am drinking a Red Bull. Why? Because I woke up at 4:30am to teach English. Japanese children are ridiculously smart and energetic--in a good way. If I were to ever raise a kid, it would have to be Japanese and smart otherwise I might have to get the phone number of some wolves ( Read more... )

Defeated midterms! Seriously, nice and neatly put down. Nothing to worry about grade-wise I guess.

Went to the doujinshi convention. It had to be the most women I have ever seen in one place at the same time. Ridiculous, but I found some pretty crazy Persona 3 doujinshi--not hentai.

Update:
Speaking midterm over. Carefully optimistic.

Saturday I went on an excursion to the heart of Osaka. The trip proceeded via bus, train, and metro with a ridiculous amount of walking involved ( Read more... )

Not too many people took the conclusion to my last update as the dramatic understatement that it was.

My knee hurts!

I am sooo done with Magic. No more! Gotta burn my cards or something. Sell'em or...BURN. Seriously, not even monkeys are keeping the game from getting worse ( Read more... )

I found a copy of Persona 2: Innocent Sin! Now I just need a way to play it.

In the same store I also bought a copy of Mother 3 aka Earthbound 3! Hardly any kanji...therefore playable!

Soul Eater is kind of a dirty manga.

I hate studying already.

For some reason I feel chatty and energetic today. I should start noting the mood cycles I go through on the calendar and see if there is a pattern. Speaking of cycles, the moon was looking fantastic last night. I decided to stop taking the bus home...because I'm stingy. Well, I enjoy saving the extra fifty bucks a month, sure, but if I subtract an ( Read more... )
