Well I finally took in the Lost finale and am back on the interwebs. Luckily I was able to watch without any spoilers, and I could enjoy the experience. I first watched the show when I had pretty much just arrived in Japan, so now that it is over it does feel a little strange. I kind of associated the show with being overseas.<\/p>\n
Speaking of feeling strange, single life is continuing here and it does feel a little weird going about my day alone. The last few evenings I’ve been eating Mexican food for dinner, but tonight it’ll be back to Japanese food for a while. I’ve been listening to music in the evenings and watching the occasional TV show – pretty mellow stuff. <\/p>\n
I’ve been surfing the web now and then for news on the world. It has been pretty tense over in the Koreas lately with sabers rattling and what not, so I have been checking up on news. Google provides a lot of news, but often it is just 1000 articles with the same basic content. I’ve decided to adjust my media stream a little bit – especially trying to cut out U.S. media organizations. It is surprising how heated and shrill those organizations can get sometimes. <\/p>\n
Well, off to work. Things at the workplace are the same as ever – lots of classes and the students are hopefully remembering all the English intake and output that is happening in class. I was able to recommend The House of Prime Rib in San Francisco to a student on business there, and he sent me a mail saying that he was able to get reservations. I haven’t heard how the meal went, but I hope there is a doggie bag in it for me. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
