So apparently words can trigger desires in one’s brain?
Fuck you, Marketing class!
But seriously, I am about to start up a Dreamcast game called Eldorodo Gate. And now I want Doritos?
This is some kind of cruel trick by my bastard of a brain, I am sure. I decided to sate it’s foul desires and I came [...]

Despite my adventures in brain training, my memory is just seeming to get worse.
There was something I wanted to write about today, but I can’t remember what it was. I really should start taking notes.
I feel some sort of shame in note taking. This couples up with using bookmarks for my web browsers or even [...]

So in an effort to increase my Japanese reading ability, I have been shuffling through a lot of different manga.
I loved Yotsuba&, but really it has been the only one that grabbed me. Berserk didn’t. Neither did GTO or Hale nochi Guu. I’m kinda digging Azumanga but the lack of furigana is teaming up with [...]

Capcom is releasing Mega Man 9 this week, which is totally fucking awesome. The old style of graphics and probably no horrendous voice acting? And maybe some difficulty up in there? Awesome!
What they have done wrong is announced some downloadable content far too soon.

(これは二週間前に書いたけど保存した時、間違えた!)
給食大好きやな!
夏休みに時々だけ一日に三回食べた。大体遅くて起きたから朝ご飯は昼ご飯のときに食べた。それでよく昼ご飯か晩御飯を食べなかった。でも食べた時は多分悪い時に食べた。悪〜〜ィ。
昨日と一昨日は学校に行ったけど今日まで給食がなかった。
ですけど!
今日はカツのサンドとポテトサラダとなとか汁とフローズンヨーグルトやった!あ、すごい。

For the dual reason of having my brain become less than complete mush and perhaps increase my Japanese abilities, I have purchased 東北大学未来科学技術共同研究センター 川島隆太教授監修 もっと脳を鍛える大人のDSトレーニング which is the long Japanese way of saying Brain Age 2.
So as a non-native speaker of Japanese working with software designed for not-me how have I been faring?

I went and tired to conquer the level ten curry at CoCo Ichibanya last night.
Level 9 left me shivering and in a state of near hallucination. I braced myself for the coming storm.
Like the typhoon that never hit, the promises of blindingly spicy food also did not. I cannot attest to what happened in the [...]

I believe my problem with the iPhone is that it adds a whole new level of convenience to my life without suiting all of my needs. I guess it is not my white… knightess? Is there a feminine form of knight? Do we need one?

So, I broke down and got an iPhone. Will write up my opinions on the thing in a bit but wanted to do a test first.

Well, no. It is not ironic.
But I just watched Season 3 Episode 8 of LOST in Japanese. Now besides it being a fucking awesome episode, I remember it well for reasons other than its quality.
See, this episode aired February 13, 2007. The night before my interview for JET.
I had driven what took far too [...]
