  1. Empire Strikes Back is currently on Japanese TV (it's almost over). I just watched the "I am your father" scene and... Darth Vader's delivery was shit. He speaks way too fast, his words have no time to make an impact. I was half-expecting Luke to ask him to repeat because he couldn't hear well...

  6. So... My university has decided to have a "new" mascot (I didn't know we already had one, I guess this sort of K with eyes that shows up from time to time here and there?).

    Anyone at the uni can submit entries... Hmmm.... 🤔

  11. When I first moved to Japan, I used to try as many "unknown" (to me) soft drinks I could get my hands on, and then report on whatever social media I used at the time. I haven't done it in years, but yesterday at the supermarket, one drink grabbed my attention. Mostly the "É" in the name.

    Verdict: imagine a bitter Aquarius, kinda like Schweppes but not carbonated. Not great, but not terrible either.

  16. Things I will never understand with neither Anglos nor Japanese people: having job-related events (like talks, etc) on weekends or meetings at lunch time.

    When I'm suggested a meeting during lunch time, my answer is a clear, plain and simple "hell no!" (also, I'm not available during lunch break, even if I'm very obviously in my office).

  21. There are some slaps in the face that hurt more than some others.
    There is this nice little restaurant near campus. I often go. It's owned by a couple. My wife is friends with the woman. Their son is my daughter's age, they go to the same school, even were in the same class when younger. I walked by it this evening, I casually glazed at the posters they often have on their window and... one of them was for the Sanseito!!! WTF?!?!?
