Had a dream last night that I was trying to seduce Trent Reznor, and he came over to my house ( I had roommates) and started DESTROYING like everything in my house, knocking over lamps, tearing apart posters and paintings, overturning furniture, and was yelling "ITS SO FUCKING GREAT TO BE FILTHY RICH AND JUST DESTROY RANDOM THINGS!" When I wasnt looking, he snuck out.  I watched him run away through the window.  Later on all my friends called to bitch at me.

In English, when you have sex and are close to orgasm, you say "Im coming/cumming", but in Japanese you say "Iku, Iku" which means "Im going". 
Just an interesting tidbit to share.

Today I asked one of my students what he would do if a doctor told him he only had 3 months to live (this was based on a conversation we had about Metal Gear 4).  Then, I asked him what he would do if after three months, the doctor had been wrong and he kept on living.  He told me that he would be reborn as a 'New Endo'. He said New Endo would quit his going-nowhere job, grow his hair long, play video games, listen to music and paint all day.  New Endo and Old Endo would both be drinkers though.
Later this made me all introspective.  If I had the chance, who would New Courtney be? 

Soooooooooooo freaking sick today.  Canada Dry was available everywhere last month but it must have just been a promotion because now all they stock is Pepsi Blue, and I mean, come on.  Nobody even LIKES Pepsi Blue.

Whoever told Japanese people it's OK to drive on sidewalks to get around red lights can either go to hell or buy me a new pair of underwear.

Tonight I am grumpy because people keep asking me over and over to buy them things from Japan.  Asking me once without demanding is fine and expected, but do not hound me.   I'm here on my own dime, working about 20 hours a week and barely scraping by in an expensive country.  I'm not freaking Santa Claus. 

Ok, so maybe this whole karaoke-as-a-social-event thing isnt so bad.  I got to warble Radiohead, the Pixies, and Stone Temple Pilots, and having a vending machine full of Kirin 3 steps away from your room doesnt hurt.

Now I know I've been in Japan too long.
Today I went to say 'clean' , but 'crean' came out instead, and I didnt even notice.

Fun with Engrish continues as David buys a hat that has the word for 'sexual attraction to animals' written on it.

I need to come up with some clever way to collect my damage deposit and flee in the middle of the night without the disgusting Americans finding out
