seriously. the air conditioner is broken. since a week ago. my head is broken, too, but it’s usually like that, you know.<\/p>\n

… i’ve been going through the Let’s Learn Japanese series. mary althaus? scary. mine-san? sugihara-san? kaihou-san? all scary. yan-san? somehow scarier. (^^;) it turns out that i can hear the words alright, even at natural speed, as long as i already know the vocabulary for what they’re saying. the only exception is katou-san’s \u00c3\u00a6\u00c2\u20ac\u00c2\u00a5\u00c3\u00a3\u00c2\u0081\u00c2\u201e\u00c3\u00a3\u00c2\u0081\u00c2\u00a7\u00c3\u00a3\u00c2\u0081\u00c2\u008f\u00c3\u00a3\u00c2\u0081\u00c2 \u00c3\u00a3\u00c2\u0081\u00c2\u2022\u00c3\u00a3\u00c2\u0081\u00c2\u201e (isoide-kudasai). he busted out with it in the little skit today, and at first i was like wtf? then they went through a little review, and i was like oh!, but then they went back to the skit, and i was like, wtf? i’m sure that is indeed what katou-san was saying, but it sounded like gibberish to me. it is doing me some good, though. as witnessed above, i’ve got yet another excuse to practice my japanese. i seriously can’t wait to go. … which is a sentence that makes it seem like i’ve got plans for that, but so far my only plans run along the lines of “one day.”<\/p>\n

for the moment, most of my plans run along the lines of “get a job.” seriously, i know it’s easier to get a job if you already have a job, but W.T.F. people!? i am perfectly employable. i speak english, i speak it well, and i am not afraid to interact w\/ your customers. actually, what i’d really like is the Printer’s Assitant job i applied for the other day, but given that i have exactly zero experience, i’m not setting my hopes high. i’ve got an app for barnes & noble just sitting on my table, but frankly, i’m loathe to work retail again, even if it would be with sarita.<\/p>\n

speaking of sarita, she bought me a book on the history of books the other week, and let me tell you, it totally rawks. the guy who wrote it is obviously as much of a book nerd as i am. the chapter i’m on at the moment is all about the koran, and there was an awesome story about this guy in venice, alexandro or something, anyhow, he was a printer, and in 1537 he produced the first known printed text of the koran. now mister venetian printer was a christian, and the koran was on the index of prohibited books, which means that he wasn’t supposed to own or read it. but he printed it. (^_^)-b makes me want to write another installment of jonathan of the ever changing last names<\/a>.<\/p>\n
