Edo Meets Kyoto: January 2013

http://edomeetskyoto.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html

Thoughts about Japan from an academic named Edo living in Kyoto, who really does get the irony there, honest. Sunday, January 20, 2013. Oh my (信じられない！). Get ready, dear readers, for a tale that will titillate you to your very soul. Well, it will if you're anything like me, anyway. And have a tendency to live vicariously through blog writers. So I forgot to get a picture on the first night. I didn't think they'd change the poster, geez. Embrace that left her flailing in bewildered joy, but I didn't think ...

Edo Meets Kyoto: Portfolio

http://edomeetskyoto.blogspot.com/p/translation-projects.html

Thoughts about Japan from an academic named Edo living in Kyoto, who really does get the irony there, honest. Because everyone needs a bit of self-publicity. As mentioned numerous times on my blog and elsewhere on the interwebs, I am an aspiring translator/localization expert, and thus have a few projects under my belt that I would like you to know all about. Because, hey, what is networking but putting yourself out where everyone can see? Translation (Scanlation) Projects - Credited as "Edo". Jet Monste...

Edo Meets Kyoto: April 2012

http://edomeetskyoto.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html

Thoughts about Japan from an academic named Edo living in Kyoto, who really does get the irony there, honest. Sunday, April 22, 2012. A student's life. (学生の生活。). I have heard many things about the relative discomfort and aggravation of living the life of a student, particularly at the graduate level. But then again, at least in Japan. You get this much food for 210 yen. 食堂 (shokudou; cafeteria) are far and away my favorite places to eat. Ever. So really, being a student in Japan? From the mind of. So let...

Edo Meets Kyoto: March 2012

http://edomeetskyoto.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html

Thoughts about Japan from an academic named Edo living in Kyoto, who really does get the irony there, honest. Friday, March 9, 2012. I had a good reason? Okay, okay, so skipping an entire month is a fundamental "no-no" in the unwritten rules of blogging, I admit. I could argue that, hey, of all the months to skip, at least I picked the short one, but of course I had to do so in a leap year. And then there's the fact that I didn't start up again until March was well underway, and. I did have a good reason.

Edo Meets Kyoto: November 2012

http://edomeetskyoto.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html

Thoughts about Japan from an academic named Edo living in Kyoto, who really does get the irony there, honest. Saturday, November 17, 2012. Last night, I went to see Vol. 7 (their words, not mine) of the Beauty and Beast tour in Osaka, which was hosted by defspiral (not my usual cup of tea, but hey) and featured DEATHGAZE and Sel'm. I'll go see DEATHGAZE most anywhere, and I do casually enjoy Sel'm from time to time. The astounding part was that he flung it right into my outstretched hands. However, durin...

Edo Meets Kyoto: May 2012

http://edomeetskyoto.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html

Thoughts about Japan from an academic named Edo living in Kyoto, who really does get the irony there, honest. Monday, May 14, 2012. When all else fails. (他が全部駄目なら.). Really, you'd think I'd have tons and tons to post about, being an exciting research student and all, but as I am still in the "trudge through six months of Japanese-style Japanese language classes" period. well, let's just say it doesn't make for fascinating reading material. But hey. Pictures are always fun. And pictures of flowers? Anyway...

Edo Meets Kyoto: The power of the desert compels you! (砂漠の力が強制する！)

http://edomeetskyoto.blogspot.com/2012/06/power-of-desert-compels-you.html

Thoughts about Japan from an academic named Edo living in Kyoto, who really does get the irony there, honest. Monday, June 18, 2012. The power of the desert compels you! That translation might be a little suspect, but then again Japan doesn't have quite the cultural history needed to really make that phrase work. Which suggests that I might have been better served picking a slightly more universal title. But since when do I bow to the powers of untranslatability. Since never, that's when.). To the right,...

Edo Meets Kyoto: So... yeah. (ん…じゃ。)

http://edomeetskyoto.blogspot.com/2012/08/so-yeah.html

Thoughts about Japan from an academic named Edo living in Kyoto, who really does get the irony there, honest. Friday, August 10, 2012. So yeah. (ん…じゃ。). This isn't going to work, guys. Despite my best intentions. I am being a horrible, horrible blogger. I mean, really. So, I think that a new blog-order is.well, in order, as it were. You see, you people just don't realize how much effort I put into your average post on this thing. Really. I am deeply, deeply. And nowadays, well. I really hope they don't.

Edo Meets Kyoto: The effects of the rainy season. (梅雨の効果。)

http://edomeetskyoto.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-effects-of-rainy-season.html

Thoughts about Japan from an academic named Edo living in Kyoto, who really does get the irony there, honest. Monday, August 13, 2012. The effects of the rainy season. (梅雨の効果。). So, most of Japan is notorious for this funny little weather phenomenon called 梅雨 (tsuyu, the rainy season; check it out. Basically, from some undetermined point in June to some undetermined point in July (okay, sure, there are averages. Indefatigably, I mean. Ahem. In fact, it's downright "freaky," to employ the vernacular.
