Gaijin isn't a bad word. There just isn't any
other word to describe us. And besides, I'm
different and I like it that way. Why else would
I decide to leave San Francisco and live here
forever? So that I can eat good food? Maybe.
Here’s one for ya. Since I’m falling deep into this 3D world stuff I thought I’d share this nice video of a new world coming out in Japan called Daletto.
Info : Please, resolve the addition below before post any new comment...
Mike : I heard a funny phrase today, "computer fag."
Mike : Next podcast will be the annual Halloween episode and #3 story.
Mike : Podcast #90 up!
Mike : Loos as though I have gone a month without putting up a podcast. I'll have to think of an easier way to get them done faster. I just don't have the hours to put into them.
Mike : Hi Sluggo! How's things?
Mike : Yeah baby! Tequila and shocha. That's getting hairy. You must have been dancing.
Zen : Last night's Zen's fuzzy Chuhai: 2 parts Shochu, 1 part tequila, 1 necturine, 1 part OJ ( with pulp), 2 part ice. Blend, drink slowly...yeah baby yeah
Zen : Yo, Spanky what's up? Why don't you join us sometime on Thurs. in SL!
sluggo@home : spanky in da house!
Mike : I have to make some changes to podcast #90. Add some stuff.
Zen : Ha, maybe it is, so what it was still good
Mike : Great Zen. I've never had a peach chuhai. Hmmmm. Shochu and peaches. I don't know. Sounds kinda sissy.
Zen : where is Spanky?? :?:
Zen : I had some nicely chilled undiluted Shochu yesterday. The rice kind, it was good to sip...I also had a home made chuahai... fresh peach, shochu, OJ and shot of tequila with crushed ice...Sugoii Oshii!!
Zen : oh, that could be a long wait...
Mike : I'm waiting for Freakshow to approve Podcast #90...interview.
Mike : In the Bookstore, the first six books are great. Then I would suggest «link» and ichi2.net/anki/
Anoner : Mike (whom I missed by 14 minutes), in your opinion, which are the best books to learn Japanese and the 3 writing systems..?
Mike : Thanks Ms Sooz. Good luck to you!
Ms Sooz : I love your page. My dream is to move to Japan in the next 5 years with my husband. Keep up the good work.
Anoner : No problem ^_^
Mike : Sounds good Anoner. I couldn't agree more. I'll get him up there in the next day or two.
Anoner : For the next person for the banner.. I think that the Iron Chef Morimoto would be interesting to have. He had brought together both Japan and America by way of food, books, and culture. And, personally, it seems like that is what 'gaijin-in-japa n' is about; showing what Japan and America have that is both the same and different.
Mike : Spam. I have to manually delete.
Anoner : What's with all the random links..?
Zen. : I had log on issue with SL today
Anoner : No problem ^_^
Mike : Ahhh...you're right. Couldn't understand. Oh well. Guest might just be passing through anyway. Thanks Anoner
Anoner : I believe that it was in regards to your 'related post' called 'Intellect and Emotion in Japan'. It's under your 'No Leader' post.
Zen. : See ya in SL in the am , ( for me)
Zen. : Yeah I did not quite get that either. ..
Mike : Hi Guest- I'm having trouble understanding your point and in what regards. If you are saying I should question my curiosity to a greater degree before writing, I would have to say, it's my journal. I write my thoughts. If you are asking me not to make hasty judgements, I would say, you're probably right. I should live here longer. Thanks for the comment.
Guest_1828 : Re:Intellect and Emotion-Mike you should expand the discussion on this and think about the reasons why there is a gulf here-Japanese want to know a lot of things but often their culture doesnt allow questioning or their seconday education doesnt impart knowledge properly.Often I seek the source of a Japanese person`s opinion and therein lies the problem I think.So,next time you have this situation try stepping back and finding our why your wife thinks as she does before hitting her with the cont
Mike : Podcasts fixed...kinda. Don't have the player in the post yet but the RSS feeds works.
Mike : Hi All. I'm busy with building sites, writing, building in OL, and working on the weekends. Not much time to rite in my journal these days. Could get worse when the semester starts. Add 10 classes, club activities and all the other things that come with work.
Anoner : Thank you.
Mike : Gaijin-in-Japan #1 position on iTunes for gaijin...haha. cool. cheers.
Mike : I updated the itunes feed. Should show up in a day.
Zen. : I did find some interesting stuff just flying your Island.
Zen. : Cool, now I just need to be able to get in there, OL.
Anoner : Mike, do you mind giving out the site that you found the Japanese music chart with Mr. Children - Gift on? I liked the song, and I would like to see what some of the other music is like.
Mike : Yeah zen. It was good fun seeing you in SL. Pretty playing sitar, drums and shakuhachi. We should put together an SL concert. I made a nice amphitheater in OL today. Oh and I found a nice place for you to meditate on the top of the hill with a view of the ocean and sunset.
Mike : Hi guys. Yeah I know. I have to find the iTunes Feed ID again. I don't know where it is. The upgrade kinda screwed things up. It works in the player on the left though.
Anoner : Mike, the new podcast isn't up under iTunes yet. Is it actually there and I'm missing it or.. something else?
Zen. : Hey Spanky, you missed out dude!
Zen. : That was fun on SL today! I'll be back...
Vecko : acutally when i wasn't logged in i couldn't listen to the whole thing but after the log in it played the whole thing on the podcast player...
Zen. : Huh?
Mike : Seems when I upgraded the site and Podpress plugin I lost the feed and iTunes feed ID. I'm looking into it. Meanwhile the podcasts are available in the left hand podcast feed player. Thanks for the heads up.
Zbigniew : Where's the audiofile for podcast #89? Even my podcast-reader can't find it. Or maybe I'm just blind
Mike : If you do go postal, make sure you scream bad German while shooting.
Vecko : 1. Go Postal or 2. i retake the exam....
Vecko : failed my German exam...now i have 2 choices:
Mike : Fixed the search function on this site. Should work better now.
