Slacker’s new clothes… and shoes.

My wardrobe sucks right now. All I really own are cargo pants, jeans, and free t-shirts that were handed out at job fairs and things. I need to upgrade to khaki’s and polo shirts for work. I’ll be taking care of that today. Maybe I’ll go crazy and even get some [...]
Undercover Brother

Wow.
I’m in Iowa. I was watching TV, and a commercial for ‘Undercover Brother’ came on…
Normally, under no circumstances would I ever be interested in a movie so obviously lame. That would be just as bad as watching ‘The Animal’ or something… You know what I mean.
But… Now I’m in Iowa. I should be [...]
Packing sucks.

Packing sucks. And don’t you forget it!
Packing

Slacker to the very end…
I better start packing now. Most of what I have is just books, clothes, cd’s, and my laptop, so I don’t expect to have much trouble moving.
I went down to a shipping company in our area called PakMail. I asked some questions about shipping stuff to Tokyo, they sold [...]
Drive

ドライブ行こう！ Let’s go drive!
Huh? Go driving? To where?
You just wanna… drive?
I was first introduced to the concept of ‘driving for pleasure’ while I was in Japan. Since being back in the states I had completely forgotten about it until a Japanese friend recently reminded me.
Maybe it’s because I’m from the Midwest… but we never [...]
Food

One thing I noticed after being in Japan for sometime was that, not only is the language different, the content of daily conversation also has a particular Japanese twist to it. (duh.)
For example, the subject of cute clothes, cute celeberities, and food seemed to come up almost every day.
Food. Yeah, we talk about food in [...]
I wonder what it’ll be like…

Well, less than 20 days until I hop on the plane and head to Japan for the next huge chunk of my life. I wonder what it is going to be like. Tokyo, geesh. Actually I wish I could have found a job in some other part of Japan, but everything I could [...]
Nashville

一、二週間前に（もう忘れた）Bloomingtonから車で２０分ぐらい離れたNashvilleという町に行ってきた。まゆみさんは、Indianaで有名なNashivilleにまだ行ったことがなかったから一緒に連れて行った。
Nashville はこいう小さくて、落ち着いた町である。Nashvilleは、芸実とか、Craftsに有名で、毎年Indianaのいろいろな所から観光客が遊びに来る。１９９０の財産評価によると、Nashivilleの人口がたったの８７３人だ。私の高校の学生人数の方が多かった。
この写真が結構アメリカ的だと思ったから、隠れて警察がアイスクリームを食べているところの写真と取って見ました。かわいいでしょう？Nashvilleには犯罪が起こることが少ないから、警察さんでもゆっくりする余裕もある。普段はアメリカの警察はアイスクリームじゃなくて、ドーナツを食べるけど。
その白いT-Shirtを着ている肩が私だ。ばれないように、私の前に座っている友達が私の写真を取るふりして、警察の写真を撮った。スパイって感じでしょう？
この次の写真が面白いと思った。なぜかというと、その看板に書いてある言葉。”Coldest Pop in Town”。なるほど。これがNashvilleで一番つめたいか。見つけてよかった！友達のゆこもかなり喜んでいる。
Indianaに住んでいなかったら別にNashvilleに遊ぶ必要はないけど、もし、車を持っているIndiana大学の生徒だったら、是非、一回はいいから、Nashvilleに行ってみればいいと思う。
つまらないことを読ませてすみません。
