Unfortunately the only way I can help is by offering my congratulations and wishing you all the best for the future (hey, it's better than nothing, right?)
Happy nuptials!

chungking express You may not believe this but I put this movie on my "to watch" list almost 5 long years ago, and I FINALLY just finished it, and one of the first things I remembered to do was come back here and reply to this post. The movie was amazing and evocative. I think I have to watch it ag...

I loved Juno. The excessively biting dialogue from Juno herself is a little excessive, but the whole movie has sort of a feel to it that incorporates that, and the vulnerable soundtrack (which I agree could have been a little less invasive), pretty well. It's sort of a young, hipster (dare I say tha...

Call me behind the times, but I was doing some Wikipedia reading just now, and after reading about a Tom Waits album, I was linked to a page describing Scarlett's musical career, which I didn't know existed until just now . I was aware that she had performed with the Jesus and Mary Chain, but I thou...

The Island. It was so-so overall. Of course Scarlett looked great. I just saw this for the first time the other day. Not to be a wet blanket, but I thought the movie was embarrassingly bad (I stopped watching at 1 45 and went back to finish the next day) and Scarlett looked terrible. She looks like...

I had heard similar things about the teaching over there.. that excessive supply had driven pay rates down which just won't fly in a city that expensive. Plus I'm reasonably intimidated by the implied class system in Japan and how easy it is to come off as rude. I thought about it before, but if I e...

Very beautiful. I can never get over how crowded the streets are with signage and such. I must admit I barely noticed while watching the film. One day I hope to stand in that very spot. sam, what does the Japanese say in your sig? (I apologize if you've been asked this already). All I can make out i...

I find they have the potential to be really good or really bad, usually depending on the amount of liquor consumed. Working at night at a hotel, I get a sober look at countless christmas parties every year, in a setting almost identical to the one you described, and it has done nothing but make me w...

I learned most of the Hiragana letters right away before I started learning even common phrases. I found it would force me to practice them instead of just defaulting to romaji. Anyway, when some words are written in romaji, they take on a more direct and less implied pronunciation than the Hiragana...

Learning Asian Languages
I was looking for a thread about learning Japanese/Korean/any other eastern language here today and couldn't find one. I did manage to find that wonderful thread posted by Ben-B with the learning Japanese videos. Have you ever tried to learn an eastern language, or any second language? I learned Fre...
