hello! Blogger

I love the rainy days. Makes me daydream more often I suppose. What’s going through my head at this moment? (and in no particular order)

• I miss Japan
• I want to watch more Japanese “Dorama’s” (more about this in a sec)
• Wish I had more money
• Man when I was stationed in Japan with the US Navy it really seemed like it sucked, but it was probably the best times of my life. (so far)
• Must find more mp3’s of Nakashima Mika. Awesome voice. Pretty too.
• Wonder what all my friends are doing in Japan right now.
• Hamasaki Ayumi isn’t bad at all. Her music is pretty decent. Wish it could be a little more “trance-ish” though.

Hmm. I see a theme developing. I know what you’re thinking. I’m thinking a lot about Japan. Yeap. Ever since I found this IRC channel where I can download Japanese “Dorama”, I’ve been on a Japan kick.

What’s Japanese “Dorama”? Basically they’re shows on Japanese TV. It’s not necessarily a drama per se like NYPD Blues or E.R. They can be rather funny. The one thing I really really like about them is that they actually end after about 14 or so episodes. I mean they actually end. They don’t drag out 7 years and slowly deteriorate and you begin to wonder why you watched the show in the first place. *cough* Friends. I remember talking to my mom about it. They actually have a beginning and an end. I love them. They can be so hilarious.

And of course you watch the ones that your favourite actor/actress. It’s all a popularity contest really. Who is much more popular. It’s like that in Japan.

Right now the Dorama I’m watching is “Merry Christmas in Summer”. It’s about this girl who grew up in an orphanage in the country and finally leaves and goes to Tokyo to see her other orphan siblings and her big “brother” she hasn’t seen in ages. It’s really funny! Of course, I’ve found that Japanese humour is a bit different than American humour. I suppose if you lived in the culture you would understand better. So here I am, looking for more Japanese Dorama!

If anyone knows a better and much more reliable source than IRC, I’d love to get more Dorama. Please let me know!

1. What’s the last vivid dream that you remember having? Wow, I don’t recall. Probably this one.
2. Do you have any recurring dreams? Oh yes. I’m sure I’ve written it somewhere in this blog somewhere. But it’s always the one at the high school, and there’s the girl. It’s the strangest thing. Although as of late, I haven’t had those dreams. Weird.
3. What’s the scariest nightmare you’ve ever had? OMG, that has to be the ones I can never remember. I just wake up, in a cold sweat, and know I had the scariest dream, but I can never remember them.
4. Have you ever written your dreams down or considered it? Why or why not? I think the answer to that one is obvious. I’ve found that you are much more likely to remember your dreams if you at least keep a dream diary or journal. It’s a proven fact. Well, at least in my world.
5. Have you ever had a lucid dream? What did you do in it? Ironically enough, I really don’t remember if I’ve had a lucid dream.
