I was sick today, so my boyfriend came over with some Japanese take-out. I had maki sushi and he had chicken katsudon. There was a huge leafy vegetable on his take-out bento and this is how the conversation proceeded: BF: Moo…! I’m grazing. 私は神戸ビーフです。(I am kobe beef.) ME: What kinda cow refers to himself as…

My latest toilet companion, Blink by Malcolm Gladwell, told me that a person’s room can reflect part of their personality and mental health – like their anal retentiveness (woot! more toilet allusions!) and self-confidence. In light of that, I immediately went to clean my room. Not that it was messy to begin with but it…

No, they have nothing to do with each other. So, about the Chinese condoms, I learned how to say condom in Chinese in class yesterday. For those who want to know, it’s “保险套” correctly romanized as “bao xian tao”. Pronounced like “bow shien tau” for those who can’t read Chinese-style romanization. Our textbook chapter was…
