Dawn - a daily transition from darkness into light. Wednesday, April 13, 2011. Eating an apple whole in Japan is called Marukajiri (lit. Round Biting) (Ma-roo-ka-jee-ree). Eating an apple in Japan is believed to cause Kaburitsuki which near as I can tell means that because of the way you are eating the apple, you will bash in your gums and bleed all over the place. Never had that happen. ever. (Ka-boo-ree-tsoo-key). Dame, btw, means "No! When said in succession.) (Da-may). My stream of consciousness is r...

Dawn - a daily transition from darkness into light. Tuesday, March 15, 2011. For whom are you living? So, do you live for the sake of someone else (ie. others), or do you. I usually like to think I understand my answer to this deceptively simple-sounding question, but because of the earthquake/tsunami disaster stuff up North, I’ve been doing an excessive amount of thinking recently. Some of my musings on this topic are contained here, and hopefully they aren’t all that rambling. Keeping this in mind, ent...

Dawn - a daily transition from darkness into light. Saturday, May 3, 2014. Japanese Products August 2012. I prepared this blog post almost two years ago and then forgot to post it. It's late, but enjoy! Stars:★★★★★. I really like this one because even though it's got sugar added in the form of a high fructose syrup, it tastes like banana. It's not your fake banana flavor but your really juicy yummy gooey banana. Stars: ★★☆☆☆. Fruit juice at all. Mitsuya Sweet, Ripe Pineapple. I purchased this in a rush, ...

Dawn - a daily transition from darkness into light. Tuesday, April 20, 2010. Emphatically it will not work. There are thrilling moments, doubtless, for the spectator, the amateur, and the aesthete, but there is one thrill that is known only to the soldier who fights for his own flag, to the ascetic who starves himself for his own illumination, to the lover who makes finally his own choice. And it is this transfiguring self-discipline that makes the vow a truly sane thing.". 分かった? . Monday, April 19, 2010.

Dawn - a daily transition from darkness into light. Tuesday, November 2, 2010. Random, besides some minor editing, I typed this all on my phone. Well, I'm on the train to Miyajima guchi at the moment. I boarded the 1620 train so I will barely make it for sunset which is at 1645. Why? The train arrives at 1646, and I will still have to take the ferry to Miyajima which won't be departing until 1655. Needless to say I'm being pretty stupid, but this beats cabin fever. So why do I have cabin fever you ask?

Dawn - a daily transition from darkness into light. Wednesday, October 20, 2010. The Secret Code of Vocations? Basically, this is the one and really only part that I am able to take away positively from the Japanese book that I'm reading. You know, the one called “天命の暗号.” I've determined that it is a self-help book for those who are castaways in the sea of life. So, anyway, the important part is as follows. We each have different ways we interact with people, right? 達成的 – Achievement oriented. This one i...

Dawn - a daily transition from darkness into light. Wednesday, September 22, 2010. The rush to the Train. Man, I'm tired. I'm wondering even what it is that I should be writing about at this time. I tried to teach a couple of my students the word DEFENESTRATE (SP? Is this my all? Did I go and surpass my limit? Or did I run headlong into it? 8221; as I went out the door. Saturday, September 18, 2010. Forgive the bad poetry:. I sit at my furnace. The heat is nearly unbearable. Drawing up, I strike down hard.

Dawn - a daily transition from darkness into light. Sunday, December 5, 2010. Okay, let me pad this story by noting that I normally dismiss odd reactions by Japanese people as simply my imagination. I know Gaijin-panic happens from time to time, but it is certainly not the norm. at least I haven't encountered it with the younger generation at all. Gaijin = Slang for foreigner. Rather rude word pointed towards those who are not-Japanese). Anyway, keep that in mind. Should go a different way? I hope you ha...

The premade bagged variety works well). 5-5 ½ cups. 1 In a large bowl combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. 2 Then add the soymilk and eggs, and mix with your hands. Do not be concerned if it sticks to your hands, the margarine will change that shortly. 3 Knead for about 5 minutes before adding the margarine. 10 Using a brush, coat each bun with the wash and add a few sesame seeds t...

Dawn - a daily transition from darkness into light. Sunday, July 25, 2010. I will be returning to Japan after a nearly three year hiatus. I have been chosen to be an ALT or assistant language teacher for the JET program, and I will be in Hiroshima. For now, this is all I will say, but look forward to random postings about events and experiences as I find time to write them. Additionally, I have decided to pursue writing stories a bit more single-mindedly and have been away due to working on them.
