delusions of grandeur
I want this blog to be good. I want to say pithy things that are thoughtful and insightful and worth reading and worthy of commentary, and all sorts of other pretentious aspirations and pretty soon I’m as vain as a little starlet composing her Oscar acceptance speech. What will future generations think of me? Will this hurt my future political career? Well a big fat bah humbug to all of that.
Here’s the deal. I live in Japan. I teach English conversation at a high school in the rural, least-populated Japanese prefecture of Tottori. I spend my days struggling to learn and understand Japanese, or avoiding studying same.
Surprisingly few of my days are spent actually teaching anybody anything, except maybe that no, summer back home is not as hot as here and yes, winter back home is actually colder than here. Yes I eat sushi. Why thank you, in fact I do get a lot of practice with chopsticks.
And that’s about it, more to come.
