I read two excellent texts which give detailed information specific to the heimin of the Hojo kokka in the 1550s: John Whitney Hall, Nagahara Keiji, Kozo Yamamura. Japan Before Tokugawa: Political Consolidation and Economic Growth, 1500 to 1650. Princeton University Press: Princeton, 1981. George Sansom. A History of Japan 1334-1615. Standford University Press: Stanford, 1961. |

So.
A: "Our mutual acquaintance is so ignorant."
B: "How ignorant is he?"
A: "He is so ignorant that in his physics examination he thought the spin magnetic quantum number referred to the actual rotation of an electron about a central axis, rather than a quantum mechanical principle with no classical analogue."
B: "Zinger!"

They will see us waving from such great heights
"Come down now," they'll say.
But everything looks perfect from far away
"Come down now," but we'll stay.

I don't care what consequence it brings
I have been a fool for lesser things
I want you so bad
I think you ought to know that
I intend to hold you for the longest time |

Four hours ago, after shopping at a free market and prior to grabbing my train back home - note this is at 4pm on a Sunday - I dropped into a donburi shop to grab a bite to eat. The proprietor sat me upstairs, next to a group of completely shitfaced taxi drivers who made friends, and sufficiently impressed with my nihongo, called me "aniki," and stuffed me with sashimi and beer.
Seeing danger ahead, the freshly-opened liter of alcohol waved in my face, I had to say (in Japanese) the dirtiest, filthiest lie that I have ever in my life spoken.
"I'm sorry, I don't like sake."
Dodged a few more appetizers, acquiesced to another huge bottle of beer, and got my way out of there while still seeing single.
And to think I was starting to get bored of Tokyo. |
