Did you get thanksgiving?

Did you get turkey? I can't usually get turkey where I live...

I guess I'm getting there...

I've started to dream in Japanese. I can't remember enough to know if it was correct Japanese, but still.

In Japan, you will meet a lot of foreigners that are linguistically snobby, who will shoot you down for not saying something in perfect Japanese. The snobbiest remark I ever got from one of these kids was, "don't even try," while I was trying to ask a woman to order us a cab and searching for the words to use. I let that one slide at the time cause the guy was drunk, but that type of stuff ain't cool.
But there are plenty of people that know tons of stuff about the language and never show off. Those are the type of people I hope to emulate.

Some glances of my students and where I live

Mac vs PC in Japan

Remember those Raamens fellas that did the net-famous sushi vid? Well, they are back, and bringing the Mac vs PC ads to Japan.
The Japanese version doesn't seem to have the problem the American commercials do; the PC is arguably more charismatic and loveable in American commercials (d'oh, shouldn't have gotten such a cool commedian to play him, Mac overlords), and the Mac in America is a bit of a douche. Anyways, enjoy, the same thing, only different...

It's Sunday Night

And that means a few things:
Have to say good bye to the girlfriend for another long week.
Have to wonder what I will teach tomorrow.
Get to laugh at the dubbed movie of the week, where they dub movies from Hollywood into Japanese. This week it's Diehard 2.
Regret over loss of sleeping opportunities this weekend. When will it come?

To wit, the days are just packed.
