"you should post baby"
How fun is it to teach with a sore throat. Illness aside, Sarah and I have been having quite a time here in Japan, from; teaching where we get to sing childhood favorite songs and do the hokey pokey and then in the next hour discuss international politics or abortion, to studying kendo which involves hitting old guys in armor on the head while shouting "men", and of course exciting excursions into the world of recycling (where you seperate glass from plastic every alternate thursday unless it has rained, and so forth), into the Japanese rainy season (where I am to understand we have not yet learned the true meaning of mold) and of course trial and error grocery shopping (it's laundry soap, it's not rice). Another thing about being here is I have started to notice the way I write, can you believe that this is only the third sentence, what a rambler. okokokokokokok, ok; the most widespread word in the world, the second being cocacola, I don't know what the third is but I imagine it to be McDonnalds or Disney related if it isn't then maybe some henous thing spawned by the technological revolution like "pwned" but that might be a few years down the line. should it be the typological revolution? As for personal time, I am reading Schopenhaur thanks to the interest of one of my students, and it's quite a bit of fun even if he takes a paragraph to say a sentence worth of material, its still an improvement on Kant's 40pages per idea, but maybe that is just the German language. Sarah has been reading various stories and neither of us have made a reasonable start at learning Japanese, even what little we know is hard to utilize after spending most of the day making sure that as much of what is spoken is in English. Warning this post is really boring dont read it, Ha, can't say I didn't warn ya.

needless to say, it is the word which the knights of ni cannot hear. ack, i said it. ahhh, i said it again.
this comment to your boring post is boring. sorry you had to read it. jerk. by the way, even though it is painfully obvious to anyone who knows both of you, it MIGHT be nice to identify who is writing each of the posts. you do on occassion but it seems to be more random than planned (ie phil and i did...). i say MIGHT because i will hate it, but nevertheless i thought it should be said because i am pretty sure someone else is thinking it.
oh, and phil, try punctuation when you write. it's a good thing you don't have to teach grammar!
ps - i posted this comment and deleted it to fix a typo, so don't wonder too much what i originally said... yes, i am that anal. what time is it in japan? you might be on-line right now. see ya.
