the goodness that is japanese tv

Wednesday, April 26th, 2006

i haven’t actually watched australian tv in at least 5 years.. which is quite the opposite of the situation since i arrived in this house. i guess its partly just being sociable and hanging around in the same room as the family, and partly because of the amount of good shows on at the moment >< .

sunday - chibi maruko-chan, school rumble ni-gakki
monday – top caster
tuesday – crayonshin-chan, attention please
wednesday – hee trivia, primadam, nana, .hack roots
thursday – kyou kara maou
friday – kurosagi(!), teruteru ashita
saturday – gal circle

this drama season is looking very very interesting :)

those unexpected moments of excitement!

Monday, April 24th, 2006

so as for uni. we’ve been studying the unfair sharing of household chores and child upbringing in japan… basically reading a whole bunch of articles written by feminists. it can get pretty boring at times, but then there are moments like this, that brighten up the week. this teacher is really awesome at doing drawings – its as if she’s writing kanji that she’s practiced many times before.

then there’s shopping trips to clothes shops that shouldn’t be as interesting as they turn out to be.  in fact i thought this shop was a pachinko parlour up until the day we actually went inside it… its called SHOT and the logo really looks like people would be gambling inside.  anyways, this was my favourite shirt amongst the hundreds of engrish ones.

bot… i mean pop star!

Wednesday, April 19th, 2006

today i was lucky enough to stroll past the himeji dokkyo brass band playing a couple of songs.  apparently they do it quite often so ill have to make sure to listen to the whole thing next time.  they played sakura (N’s aoi ed by kabukuro) and pop star (hirai ken) amongst a few other cool non-pop songs.

back to study/ds for me :d
