Ok, maybe not ‘everything.’ Musouka left a nice comment on my last post about World Domination. It was a question about how to use the Shodo set bought from our online Japanese bookstore.
Here is a brief history and definition. I wish I could go in to it more, but the truth is, [...]

I have reservations about titling a post, “My First Step to World Domination”, but as mentioned in a previous post, my first step to world domination would be to get 500 subscribers to our Youtube page. Today we’ve accomplished this first step.
I’m catching up with geriatric1927 and his 45,156 subscribers.
A TJPer last [...]

As mentioned previously, Yumi and I are trying to fix up our house to sell it. (and then buy a bigger house) We’ve done a lot of work, but the more we do, the more it seems we have left to do.
This morning a friend emailed me a link to a site that [...]

I am still officially on vacation from this blog, but while cleaning the house I found a dialog for a skit I wrote way back at the University for a German Klass. It was so silly and embarrassing, I thought I’d make it public by posting it here.
It is called ‘Die Angst’ which means [...]

Oh boy. I messed up a little this morning.
About an hour ago I was wondering why we had so few orders for today’s Super Suiyoubi deal. Sometimes the Super Suiyoubi deal is a big hit and sometimes it… isn’t. But today’s deal was for 20% off two of our most popular items [...]

A nice lady emailed me asking what this meant:
何カ国語 nan ka koku go
I told her I wasn’t sure, but it didn’t look right and asked for context. She emailed back saying a friend’s Japanese teacher gave it as an assignment and there was no context. The assignment was simply [...]

Ok, nothing is being ’sold’ but our most viewed video, Introduction to Japanese is #91 of the most favorited videos in the Travel & Places section!! Granted the ‘Travel & Places’ section isn’t exactly the most popular category on Youtube – in fact it could be the least popular category on Youtube – but [...]

Whoah! Setting up a new computer with a few heavy orders days really eats up blog time!

Today’s post is brought to you by the hiragana あ and the phrase 百年の恋も冷める.

First a word from our sponsors:
The Hiragana あ, normally priced at $29.95 fell last week for the first time ever under the $20 mark ($19.99). [...]

I’ve been away from the online world (including this blog) for a few days now. My new computer came in on Friday and I’ve been busy migrating files and setting up the new system.
The guy I spoke with convinced me to try Vista. So far, I am not displeased – but I haven’t [...]
