Went to a Green Day concert yesterday. Very, very good. :)

Why hasn't Pulp caught on over here? It's a pain in the ass trying to find their music without ordering it on-line.

website redesign is progressing nicely {http://darknation.mancubus.net/crap/zomdope4.jpg for a WIP), working on content. Want a FAQ page to inflate my already bloated ego.

So, ask me some blatently obvious questions. And I will answer.

You know, Japan is a wonderful place. I absolutely love it here. From the people to the atmosphere to the food, it's all quite exciting and wonderful. But at the same time, Kansai Gaidai, the school I'm at, sucks monkey balls and should be avoided.

The classes here for international students are all geared towards 3rd and 4th year students. Yet, each and every one has been easier than my first year college classes back home. They literally feel more like high school classes. Hell, in my Japanese class are actually given busy work. Sure, it's necissary to take into account that we are in Japan and want to go out and do stuff, but some of this is overkill.

I have four classes, one of which is Japanese. And that class is the worst of them all. For a school which trains language teachers, it's rather sad to be in this class, and even more sad to have a teacher where they make you want to stop learning something. We've already finished the book we had for class and now are watching movies. And that's it. For the rest of the quarter, we watch movies and have vocabulary quizzes over it. Sounds like a fairly good idea, right? Her idea of a vocabulary quiz is learning 59 words in a two days on top of new grammar rules, without really using the new vocabulary in class much. Ok, I can cram that many words in my head for a quiz. Can I memorize them effectivly to where I can use them in the future in that amount of time? No.

Her idea of lesson exams is even better. Let's take a sentence in English: "I want to go to the store together." In Japanese, you can say it in these ways:

-ishou ni su-pa ni itte kudasai.
-ishou ni su-pa ni itte hoshi desu.
-ishou ni su-pa ni ikitai desu.

Each one basically says, "Goto the store with me". The first literally says "Please goto the store together" and greatly implies that you want the other person to do so, the second says "I want to go to the store together", and the last says, "I want to go to the store together". All three say pretty much the same thing, with the last two being the same thing said in two different ways. When structuring a test, you can modify the Engish sentence to specifically target a particular version of that phrase you want. Hell, if anything put "use ~hoshi desu" in parenthesis like most teachers do.

Does our teacher do this? No. It's a guessing game.

The next thing I can't understand is why I'm even in this level in the first place. This entire semester has been review for me in terms of grammar. A level three class is using a level two book. That is something which I can't understand. On the placement test, I remember getting all the questions correct for this level of Japanese.

Hiragana is another thing. It's one of the three (four if you count Romanji) writing systems used in Japan. It and Katakana each contain 40 some odd characters, making each one like an alphabet. We learned this stuff back on day #1 or #2. Well, if we draw a hiragana slightly wrong, we get the entire sentence wrong. Some of us naturally have some not so good handwriting. In english when I write, do I get marked off because I make the horizontal line in a capital A go beyond the two outer lines? No, it's obsurd. But to her, us doing a mistake comparable to that in hiragana, where the hiragana we're trying to write still looks like it should and not like something else, is bad. We're marked off an entire sentence for it, sometimes as much as 5 points.

That's all I feel like ranting about right now. Think I'll go eat.

The only thing I hate more than slam-door trains is people who dont realise that to close the door on slam-door trains you have to slam them!

The rail network recently changed their announcement system. Until a few weeks ago the computerised announcement system talked about itself in the first person, saying "I'm sorry..." in response to delayed trains for example. They've finally realised how ridiculous this is and switched over to the more sensible "We are sorry".

I just tested speedmap and it had a few texture problems. Baldy suggested that I just submit it in without testing it which I did. Oh well... speed maps are supposed to be craptacular right?

I'm back and I'm now eighteen. I've now got the worst hangover and Doom3 doesn't work on my laptop, I keep being shot with bb pellets I'm addicted to 'Canon in D minor' and mints(laxative effects and stuff), I'm over £300 in debt at school poker and I'm thinking to myself; it's pretty damn good to be alive.

I don't know why I'm so optimistic now but my outlook on life seems to have turned 180.

So how are you? What's your outlook? What, in your opinion, are the benefits of optimism or pessimism?

Copied my friend's two Radiohead cds "Kid A" and "Pablo Honey" today. I only like two songs on Kid A, where as I like all of Pablo Honey. I also like OK Computer.

I decided to start playing the Necrons in Warhammer40K. However my friend is playing Tyranids. If I get in close combat, I'm fucked.

The new Magic set is going to fucking kickass.

Why the fuck is the word "whatnot" all of a sudden censored?

Well, this is it. Tomorrow morning, at like 5:30am, I head to the airport. And at 8:45, I'll be on a plane over to LAX, where I'll transfer to another and be on my way to Japan.

Am I nervous? Hell yeah I am. I can barely imagine any of this. I had a dream this morning that I got on the plane, fell asleep, and woke up in Kansai Gaidai's dorms. I somehow missed transferring planes, getting off, getting my luggage, and all that other stuff. But arrived there safely. But without Luggage, so I was having to try and find it.

Anyways, with me luck everyone. I return in 3.5 months, when I'll go back to Doom3 editing.
