the weekend
so saturday nights i've been watching ch 26 japanese dramas subtitled in english. i've been watching this one called churasan about an okinawan girl who marries her childhood boyfriend and moves to tokyo to be a nurse where he is a doctor for like a year now. it turns out their are like 150 episodes of this show!
another one i watch sporadically is called "kinpachi sensei" in it's 3rd or 4th year, about a hs teacher and class and how they deal with current issues in japan. right now, there is a girl, Nao san, who wants to be a boy. in real life she's a beautiful girl Ueto Aya who puts out jpop cds.
anyways, it is interesting that they discuss this gender stuff in class and explain about straight men, women, homo, bi, and then gender mixed folks who have the minds of one sex, but the bodies of others and in japan they're not recognized for other than their birth sex, and have to travel to the US or elsewhere if they want gender changing surgery, which Nao san plans to go through.
this past weekend was ok, i went to a cherry blossom festival. i also got laid, and by a very nice person.
i'm watching the weather and may go on a road trip before it gets too hot.
