THIS.

I’m pretty sure THIS is real.

THIS is just wrong. I feel my thousands of samurai ancestors turning over in their graves. Except that I don’t think they were buried but most likely cremated with their bones all piled up in a little ceramic jar or something like that. And they aren’t samurais, but more like poor peasants.

I wish THIS was around when I was writing my senior thesis. I wouldn’t even have written one. I’d just put the URL on a piece of paper, bound it at Kinko’s and then turned it in.

THIS is why I like to make sure people know the difference between kawaii (cute) and kowaii kowai (scary).

THIS makes me miss the Japanese classes at Brown, which were always so much fun. Granted there were always a couple people who were into anime and one of them asked me out on a date, but most of them were just other Asians trying to pick up more Asian languages. I think I met most of my good friends from those classes (I’m talking about YOU, Lee-san and Yoo-san).

  1. I wonder if this is what people think when they see me. Except hopefully they can tell whether I’m a guy or a girl.

    Also, I’m pretty sure the actual word is kowai and not kowaii. I won’t tell Wilkner-sensei that she failed you, though.

  2. omg, you’re right. but it’s okay. wilkner-sensei’s own daughter failed her when she got kicked off of america’s next top model. so i don’t feel too bad.

  3. This made me cringe.

    That girl (boy?) reminds me of this guy who I used to see walking around campus wearing getas, and sometimes a kimono as well. Apparently he would also go to classes dressed up like anime characters.
