“What is your hobby?” This is one of the first phrases of English conversation that Japanese students learn, along with “What is your name?” “Where are you from?” and “What is your blood type?” My students at the time were aged 18-20, that period when you’re sure you’ve had all of life’s major experiences and don’t need to form any new opinions, and some regular responses included Mayumi’s stated love of doraibu (going driving with friends), Misako’s constant talk about baito (working a part-time job, from the German word arbeit), or good old Kiyoko, who always replied “going shopping with my mother.” Because I’m an emotional, idealistic American, I always did my best to get the students to give more information to the class about what really excited them, to get them to do more with their precious youth than they were doing. But except for a few students who had a particular passion for something they could share with the class — the Beatles, American pro wrestlers, traveling around Japan taking pictures of trains — getting my Japanese students to be excited about anything was always a challenge.

Speaking of hobbies, one of mine is comparing the cultures of Japan and the U.S., in case you haven’t guessed, and sometimes you don’t need to look any farther than the people who make us laugh, comedians. While most famous comedians in the U.S. come from the stand-up circuit or through the hallowed gates of Saturday Night Live, comedy in Japan is a little different. One form of traditional Japanese comedy that’s been around for centuries is rakugo, literally “fallen words,” which involves a lone comedian sitting Japanese- style on a zabuton cushion located very near the audience. The interesting thing about this style of performance is that, rather than using new comedy material, the monologue that the comedian tells is one of an already established library of a hundred or so such humorous stories, although a good rakugo-ka will add his own unique touches. There’s a TV show where rakugo comedians do battle to see who is the funniest, and when they get a laugh they get another cushion, so that by the end the winner is sitting on a tower of them. (And in fact, a way of saying “that was funny” is Zabuton, ichi mai, or “I’ll give you one zabuton cushion for that.”) Another pillar of Japan’s comedy world is manzai, humor involving a two-man team that includes a dim-witted boke (boh-KAY, meaning fool) and his sharp-tongued tsukkomi (tsu-KOH-mi, meaning straight foil) sidekick, who act out complex comic sketches together. Manzai has been popular throughout the 20th century and has had a great influence on many areas — for example, the characters of C-3P0 and R2-D2 indirectly owe their existence to this humorous tradition, via the films of Kurosawa. The most popular manzai team in Japan today is Bakusho Mondai, who are regular guests on news programs where they bring their witty commentary to bear on the events of the past week. If you’ve happened to see the Japanese version of Apple’s “Get a Mac” ads, the duo playing the Mac and PC are two halves of a manzai comedy pair. (We have an English book of rakugo monologues on the site today if you’re interested.)

Normally when you think of a subject like sexual discrimination you think of women not being offered the chance to do what they want on an equal footing with males, but I had a little lesson in reverse discrimination last night. My wife, mother-in-law and our two kids were heading to Malaysia for a week to visit a family friend, leaving me home alone — the Holy Grail for any married man, since I can walk around the house in my underwear, put my feet on the table, and drink out of the milk carton with impunity. Before she could leave, though, my wife was compelled to prepare a week’s worth of meals for me, as if my male-ness made me totally unable to fend for myself in for seven days, like some comedy version of a husband from the 1950s. And that, I realized, is one aspect of the relationships between men and women in Japan, a kind of yin-yang (to bring a sufficiently Asian image to my theory) in which the man is responsible being the “great black pillar” (daikoku-bashira) that holds up the household, while the woman does her part to ensure the happiness of the family from the inside. Sounds overly simplified to put it like that, I know, but from within the context of living in Japan, it really works well.

Today we’ve not one, not two but three wacky new Japanese T-shirts for you on the site. The Japanese are an incredibly expressive people, and they can take something as bland as ASCII letters or generic hiragana and katakana characters and turn them into incredibly expressive images. We’ve got three new limited-run T-shirts featuring popular emoji (”emotional characters”) that capture the heart and soul of the Japanese BBS 2ch and look really cool at the same time. See them on the site now!

J-List carries region-free DVD players that make it child’s play to enjoy region-encoded DVDs from Japan, Europe and other countries. Our players are specially manufactured to ignore the pesky region codes that try to keep you from watching the discs you want to enjoy, and are fully compatible with DVDs from all regions, including PAL and RCE discs. Even better, they’re loaded with features, like the ability to play DIVX/AVI files burned onto DVD-R media. We’ve lowered the price on our popular RJ-200 progressive scan/surround sound DVD player, making it even easier to snap up one of these half-height demons and watch any DVD you like.

Here are today’s “really cool products” that I thought were especially noteworthy. Note: the J-List links below may be for adult products and should probably be considered “not safe for work” (a yes/no verification screen will be displayed to filter products from our mature site).

I see I forgot to post pictures of the hidden micro brewery in the mountains of Gunma. Well, here you go. Here are the taps.

Good roaring Dwarven fires, too.

In general, any time I get the chance to eat wood-fired pizza, I take it.

Like all Japanese breweries, there were three types, very blonde, medium and very fruity, and very dark/stout. I found the middle path to be the most delicious.

This is what the Japanese call a “Margherita” Pizza.

I just love the construction of this place, all wood, with huge pillars of wood visible inside. It was so unexpected to find such a good place in a town with a winter population of a few hundred.

I brought some of these back for my father in law, although I know he won’t like them. I’ll just have to help him drink them ^_^

Set adrift on memory bliss…

My screen says, “Please replace this generic password.

We saw very exciting games in the first leg of the quarterfinals in Champions League. And many favorites started to make to choose their destiny, like Liverpool or Bayern Munich. In the other hand,Manchester United fell on the road to Roma, but picked up a valuable road goal. Meanwhile Chelsea FC could only manage a 1-1draw at Stamford Bridge with visiting Valencia from Spain.

AS Roma 2 - Manchester United FC 1

Roma took care of business at home on Wednesday night beating Manchester United 2-1 at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. Rodrigo Taddei scored just before the break and Mirko Vucinic nabbed the match winner for the Italians. The two Roma goals surrounded a 60th minute strike by Wayne Rooney that gave United a very precious away goal. The Red Devils return to Old Trafford for the return leg, but will be without the services of Paul Scholes, who was red carded in the first half of the game.

Chelsea FC 1 - Valencia FC 1

Mourinho’s side is faced with the daunting task of traveling to Spain in need of a result following their draw with Valencia at Stamford Bridge. The Blues narrowly avoided a disastrous result as Didier Drogba scored in the second half to pull Chelsea level. David Silva scored for the visitors. Chelsea is still alive to win an unprecedented quadruple this season, but hopes are fading of achieving that duty. Wednesday’s result will make their road that much tougher to tread.

Been kind of a weird week… done so many things but it doesn’t seem like more than a few days since my last post. Which I see now was Valentine’s day. Which was completely uneventful because we had out-of-town company for the week. Which got me a free pass on the obligatory wining and dining of the wife! Woot!

And since I’m always ranting and raving about the Mini-Eggs when I mention Valentine’s Day, I did stop by 3 grocery stores last Wednesday morning to stock up for the office, but none of them had their Easter candies up yet, just discounted V-day stuff! Boo! Luckily, the Albertson’s by the office was right on schedule and I was highly chocolate’d up by lunchtime!

Lessee… had a pretty important interview for an IT-related job that could get me back on the right career track. Unfortunately, I had a bit of a brain fart during one of the technical questions. I knew I knew the answer, and I told them if I had a computer in front of me I could show them what they wanted to see, but I just couldn’t think of the correct terminology sitting there in that conference room. Of course, it came to me half-an-hour later as I was driving away. Other than that though, I think I did pretty well, and I actually have two good references on the inside who tell me I should be a shoo-in. Should know either way within a week’s time.

Went to see Final Destination 3. Part 1 was an amusing concept, I really liked #2, but the third installment has just become a parody of the series. Which isn’t to say it’s not worth seeing. Just make sure you’re not in a “horror” movie kind of mood, because this movie seems more worthy of ending up in the Comedy section. You know the deaths are coming, and there was only one scene that made me startle. The rest were just laugh out loud funny. ROFL’ing at the gory demise of teenagers made me feel kinda shameful and dirty, kinda like after watching a porno, but without the satisfaction at the end. Ummm, porn, death, and teenagers is probably not a good combination of things to talk about all in one paragraph. I’ll move on now.

So much going on in the world… VPs shooting lawyers, Muslims bounty-hunting cartoonists, ice-skaters hitting the ice… I just honestly couldn’t give a rat’s ass about it all right now. How lame is the American media to swarm down with the wrath of a Spanish Inquisition just because a shooting accident wasn’t reported within 24 hours? Shouldn’t they put their efforts towards inquiring about more pressing issues, like the BS the President is shoveling down the public’s throats? And those crazy Jihadists out there… I understand if you want to protest the fact that other societies typecast you as a violent and barbaric group. But bombing embassies and killing innocents doesn’t go far towards moving you away from that stereotype. And Bryant Gumbel is now the world’s biggest racist… there’s no black athletes in the Winter Olympics because blacks, errr, ’scuse me, African-Americans, are descendants of Africans, from Africa, which is generally not known as a ski-resort type destination. I used to be such an Olympics whore, watching the Medal Tracker and keeping up with all the sports; but the US coverage has become so lame over the years. When I’m feeling up for Olympics, I turn it on to the Canadian’s broadcast… I might have to put up with some extra coverage of Hockey or Curling, but at least its sports and not more commercialized sappy human interest stories.

Okay, so that was probably a bit more than a rat’s ass for those topics, but that’s all I’m gonna say about that.

Put in some solid time at the tables down at PJ Pockets. With most WA state casinos now raking an extra dollar for the Jackpot pool (yea, -$5 a pot, not including tip); the Monte Carlo Jackpots are starting to grow at a quickened pace. Case in point, Quad Jacks at PJ’s will net you $1500. Quad 8’s are at about $900. Everything else is at least $200. I held JJ at least 3 times, but couldn’t even catch a 3rd on the flop. And one particular dealer was dropping 2 Jacks on the board about every 3rd hand, but nobody had ‘em those times!

So like the BBJ tables at Party, the bigger Jackpots are attracting the fish in droves! While I was playing, I heard the floor take a phone call, “Live game? Yea, we got two of the juiciest games I’ve ever seen going on right now!” Hell, even without the heightened Jackpots, it’s always a wild game there. Do a search for “PJ Pockets” on the 2+2 forum and you’ll see someone calling it the best 4/8 game in the US. My wife had a run-in with one of the $5 pros there (as Heafy likes to call them), but I’ve rambled on long enough so I’ll save the story for next time.

Maurice Acker, a junior at Marquette University in Milwaukee, practices Spanish with natives from Spain every Friday morning at the school’s language lab. They talk about sports, cultural differences – the usual stuff of student conversations – but there’s a twist: Mr. Acker has never met any of his conversational partners in person. That’s because Marquette’s Spanish and Italian curriculums use Skype, a free Internet phone service, to connect students with “language partners” all over the world. Colleges are making broader use of the Web to engage students in global language practice sessions. Instructors tout the technology as a “limitless” teaching tool that fast-tracks foreign language competency. Read more at:

Gabi sent me the following advertisement. Believe it or not, this isn’t a joke, but a real business operation:

Dear Traveler:

Imagine being able to purchase insurance that could actually prevent accidents; saving you and your family from potential tragedy.

According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, over 40,000 people die in motor vehicle crashes every year. Many more suffer injuries and financial loss. Among those cold statistics are hundreds of people from our community - friends, neighbors, and relatives (r”l).

During the coming travel season, more people than ever will be traveling by car, plane and other means to fun-filled destinations across the globe. How can you possibly ensure the safety of your family?

The Shemirah Bidrachim (Traveler’s Protection) Insurance Program
For just pennies a day, you will receive the ultimate protection from harm while driving, flying, sailing, or even just walking. Ordinary insurance provides financial reimbursement in case of an accident, but Shemirah Bidrachim can prevent the accident from happening in the first place. Thousands of people have already done just that.

How does the Shemirah Bidrachim Insurance Program work?
Individuals who wish to have added protection from danger while traveling simply sign up for the insurance policy using the enclosed Activation Card. Close to two thousand children in our yeshiva will recite Tehillim (psalms) and additional special tefilos (prayers) of protection for you. The purity and innocence of their Yiddishe neshamos (Jewish souls) infuse their piercing tefilos with the power to protect.

This remarkable protection has been credited with directly saving Jewish lives. In fact, Shemirah Bidrachim was first offered in Israel over 15 years ago in response to the surging rate of auto fatalities.

Coverage is provided by the Ashdod Mercaz Chinuch Project with the support of leading Gedolei Yisroel, including:

Hagaon Harav Shmuel Halevi Wosner (SHLITA)Hagaon Harav Yosef Shalom Elyashiv (SHLITA)Hagaon Harav Ovadya Yosef (SHLITA)Please do this now: complete and mail back your Instant Activation Card (enclosed) or call 1-877-SHEMIRAH now. This immediately activates your policy. You’ll then be fully covered. You will also receive by mail an official Certificate of Protection, signed and dated by the director of the yeshiva and the Chief Rabbi of Ashdod.

Those of you who you understand the true idea of reciting Tehilim will, no doubt, be grieved at this travesty.

Don’t get me wrong: I am willing to give these people the benefit of the doubt and assume that they believe in their product as much as their customers. But however pure their intentions may be, their actions are incorrect. These people are distorting the Torah, catering to infantile insecurities, and reinforcing superstitious beliefs.

Moreover, the customers who pay these people - trusting that their money will protect them, or that the rote recitations of children will guarantee their security - have effectively removed themselves from the true hashgacha (Divine providence), thereby exposing themselves to the very harm they intended to avert.

Let the verses of Tehilim speak for themselves, and may we merit to live by their true meaning:
“I despise those who await worthless vanities; as for me, I trust Hashem!” (31:7) “Praiseworthy is the man who has made Hashem his trust, and turned not to the arrogant and to strayers after falsehood” (40:5) “A man cannot redeem a brother, he cannot give his ransom to God” (49:8) “It is better to take refuge in Hashem than to rely on man” (118:8) “Do not rely on nobles, nor on a human being, for he holds no salvation” (146:3)

The Featured Book of the Week is The Relationship Rights of Children by James G. Dwyer and published by Cambridge University Press.“The book presents the first sustained theoretical analysis of what rights children should possess in connection with state decision making about their personal relationships which the state does in numerous aspects of family law, including paternity, adoption, custody and visitation, termination of parental rights, and grandparent visitation. It examines the nature and normative foundation of adults’ rights in connection with relationships among themselves and then assesses the extent to which the moral principles underlying adults’ rights apply also to children.
