In the world of Japanese Disney

May 31, 2008 20:13

Well yesterday I had two classes. First Japanese court poetry, which has turned out to be some bad ass course which normal people can't take. Seriously now. First of all it's damn good to have some sort of knowledge in the japanese language so you can read the poems in the native language because the translations are so bad since the poems in japanese can be read in atleast two different ways. Sometimes more. So reading some one sided english translation makes it hard to analyse... And to analyse these poems.. I would suggest that anyone who want to try to analyse them should have some kind of litterature education >.< it's seriously hard.. I don't know why I thought this class would be anything but hard..

The second class was The Korean Wave. I was soooo looking forward to this class because in the schedule it said we were going to talk about Shin Joong Hyun and Seo TaeJi. Yeah I thought there would be alot of Seo in class. We DID see one short liveclip with hin the other class. But of course the teacher decided to talk mostly about Shin Joong Hyun and let us hear his music as well as some traditional Korean music most of the class. When we finally got to talk about Seo he only talked like a minute about him and played half a song. Then he said something short about H.O.T. and played almost half a song.. Disappointing T_T ... Buuuuuuuuuuut it was ok anyway because for the last halfhour of the class we got to see the beginning of a concert with Rain hihihi. I was so happy. He is SO sexy damnit. It was only disturbing that I had to watch it with some swedish guys who had to laugh at everything he did -.- jealousy I say. They know they are nothing next to him. Oooooh yeah..

And now I'm sitting here watching The Little Mermaid in japanese. I must say I like it better in swedish. There's a few cartoons which actually are really good in swedish. They are few, but there are some atleast. My friend just happened to have it in japanese so I thought I'd watch it while I eat my try to make some interesting japanese-flavoured food.. The food was ok. If you're interested look behind the cut!

So when I went to the city the other day I picked up this interesting product I found in Sun Ai. It's called gohandesuyo! O.o Only the name is interesting. Well I had read about it and it's supposed to be some green laver paste with soy and sesame. Sounds tasty I said and bought it.


At the same time I was sure to pick up the latest Kera! and EGG. And when I got home I went through all my lovely fashion mags and found this image in one of my FRUiTS:


FOOD!! Yeah!! There's paprika and baby coorn and sesame and other sweet stuff there *starts to drool* ... Sorry.. So today when I was going to cook I decided to do something like this dish. And it turned out completely different :D yay. I got some chicken, yellow paprika, leek and sesame cooking in the fryingpan with some of the gohandesuyo. Yea I guess the gohandesuyo is supposed to be eaten with rice (since it's called gohan and I sorta read it online.. and also it has some kind of marmeladeish texture so it looked breakfasty to me) but it was tasty like this as well.. And this is what it looked like! :


Yea I even ate it with PASTA! So not japanese.. But it's cheap I tell you. So even though I much rather had rice with this dish I didn't have any. I had noodles. But I didn't feel like it. And before you ask, yes it's very hard to eat pasta with chopsticks. But on the other hand it's practice :) Practice is good. I'm becoming a pro.. In my head anyway. And now I'm hungry again oh noez!

On a sidenote. It's 9pm and it's still almost 30 degrees celcius in this room. My chocolate is melting.
