this weekend:
1. School Festival: I will be putting up some work in the Photo Club’s gallery space. It is not exactly the kind of exhibition that will show up on a CV but still a hoot.
2. Visiting Onishi sensei’s class in Yokohama this afternoon.
3. Last night I realized that I have passed the point where low profecinecy in Japanese prevents one from being taken seriously to beyond the point where a high proficiency does the very same thing. Increased language ability is not inverse to a decrease in novelty by any means here. Like being able to eat with chopsticks and saying that you have played Super Mario Brothers as a child, people are shocked and you might get told you are “More Japanese than Japanese people”.
4. Finishing Tsurezuregusa, probably. Next is Rashomon (Despite #3 above, both of these books are English translations).
