Words of wisdom and inanity from a talking orchid. Tuesday, June 30, 2009. Just a quick note to say that I've created and will be working on a new blog. This one is designed to help me track my feelings about leaving Japan. That is, both in terms of what I think I will and won't miss when I leave. If you're interested, it is here. It's also linked to on the right under "The Flower's Features.". Monday, June 29, 2009. I did change just a few things ( Splenda. Canned white peaches rather than fresh ones or...

Saturday, October 30, 2010. Popular Hits of the Showa Era by Ryu Murakami Giveaway! I was psyched when the good folks at W.W. Norton and Co.

Chirashi: A Japan Culture Blog: February 2011
http://chirashi.wendytokunaga.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 16, 2011. Book Signings: An Endangered Species. There are different kinds of book signings. There are the ones where you go into the bookstore and sign copies of your books that they have in stock. Then there is the author event where you sign books at a table and sometimes give a reading beforehand.

I’ve got a lot going on in my crazy writing life, but will do my best to ganbarimasu! Recently my husband granted me the wish of a subscription to TV Japan. One of the best ways to improve your Japanese, I think, is by watching Japanese TV dramas. On TV Japan I’ve been watching one called Marumo no Okite. If Marumo no Okite. Here I like that Marumo.

Words of wisdom and inanity from a talking orchid. Friday, July 10, 2009. The Shine Has Gone Off. I've concluded that the shine has gone off of airing my private thoughts and experiences publicly, so I'm going to give up private blogging (again). This time, I don't expect that I'll be making a return trip. Thanks to all of the people who read and took the time to be supportive and kind to me. I appreciate it.

Words of wisdom and inanity from a talking orchid. Monday, June 29, 2009. In what may be a vain attempt to eat better by incorporating more whole grains, I've been poking about for more recipes to try and came across a promising looking peach oatmeal bread recipe on a site called " Slow Like Honey. It turns out that those King Arthur people know how to use whole grains. In fact, after trying this recipe, I'm inclined to actually buy their recipe book. I did change just a few things ( Splenda. My loaf loo...

Words of wisdom and inanity from a talking orchid. Monday, June 29, 2009. In a previous post. I mentioned an issue with one of my students who is going to college on a military base. At the end, I said that I would work out what this teacher wanted and was going to be like with a little time. Well, I have, and it's not good. Second, he will brook no explanation or argument which can be ( mis. And he must be the authority, after all) references 90% of what he writes. I told my student that, if she is ever...
