President

The American President

I used to watch movies. I don’t anymore. I can think of very, very few movies that are even worth watching. Even the trailers are unwatchable. Just explosions, stupid catchphrases, and kisses. But I certainly had my favorite movies back when I did watch them. I liked “Spanglish”. “Mr. Holland’s Opus”. And “The American President”.

Speaking Out

Today’s post isn’t going to be about Japanese at all, though I might find a way to fit it in.  I do have a Japanese post waiting in the wings, but I think I want to discuss something else.  If you would like a Japanese post, please skip this one, and the next one will be about Japanese.  If you just want to unfollow me, well, go for it, I guess. I have been on this planet for somewhere around forty-five years, and I have seen some crazy stuff.  I… Read More »Speaking Out
