I choose Obama, and not for the reasons some people might think. For me it’s a lesser of two evils, voting on such a scale always is. It doesn’t help that Obama is part African American, but it helps that his running mate isn’t a woman rallying against abortion. Plus, McCain speaks more jibberish [...]

My Japanese is Useless
October 20, 2008
Today, I remembered this one time, maybe two years ago, where I got off the train and there was this lone Japanese girl standing in the station. She was looking down at the fold up map in her hands and biting down on her lower lip. I knew she was Japanese because of the characters [...]
Of Bathrooms, Cups, and Keys
October 9, 2008
Just before I started writing the post before this one, a student from this evening’s Arabic class came up to the front desk and asked if I knew where the ladies room was. I smiled as normal, and leaned over to the edge of my desk to point to the bowl that holds the bathroom [...]

Today I blew a snot bubble…and I thought of you.
I was brushing my teeth and I was going to sneeze but I didn’t…and it grew…and I thought of you.
Of practice SATs, and disapproving faces, and laughter.
Of laughter lost, and my disapproving face, and your foggy faced, red eyed smile.
Today I blew a snot bubble and [...]
Working in Retail
October 8, 2008
I’ve never wanted a job in retail. I always told myself and others that “I won’t get a job selling stuff” and I thought I was living up to that promise until I thought about it today. I work at a language school. My job is to prepare snacks, drinks, and class materials and then [...]
It Has Been Completed
October 2, 2008
Ah…it’s hard to believe that just a little more than a month ago we first heard of the Room Remix contest. It’s a contest hosted by BET, and though it’s pretty lame that they thrive on conflict and instigate if they don’t see enough, it’s nice to win something worth so much. See the commercial [...]
