I&#8217;m with Kuniko &#8211; I don&#8217;t mind the rain, but the wind\/rain combo is a little too much.  The good news is that we&#8217;ll have sun on the weekend, and I guess that is probably for the best. <\/p>\n<p>Kuniko&#8217;s parents came over on Sunday night, and they brought over an epic amount of vegetables.  Five heads of lettuce, two heads of cabbage, and a bag of shiitake mushrooms that were huge &#8211; bigger than my head before we cut them up.<\/p>\n<p>So in order to help whittle down the veggies we&#8217;ve declared it salad week.  Starting last night it is a bowl or two of salad, along with some soup or leftovers.  By the end of the week we&#8217;ll hopefully be done with all this lettuce and our digestion will be completely regular.<\/p>\n<p>OK, I&#8217;m off to dress up like Fisherman Gorton and then I&#8217;m on the road. A couple of links on Japan that I found interesting yesterday:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.variety.com\/article\/VR1118017884.html?categoryId=2523&#038;cs=1\">Hollywood movies move to dubbing in Japan<\/a><br \/>\nThis one just kills me.  I understand it is a pain in the ass for Japanese people to read subtitles, but watching Johnny Depp speaking in an old Japanese guy&#8217;s over-dramatic voice is ridiculous.  They should be as non-intrusive as possible, right?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.taipeitimes.com\/News\/editorials\/archives\/2010\/04\/17\/2003470763\">Interesting article on Japan, the English language, and corporate culture<\/a><br \/>\nAlthough not from the most unbiased of sources, kind of an interesting take.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looks like the weather will be wet all week &#8211; I don&#8217;t mind so much, but I spend about 40 minutes a day walking to and from work, and so my shoes might be a little moist as a result.
