こんばんは。
あしたスキットをします。I always get really nervous right before a skit, and usually it happens the morning of. I get a little obsessive about practicing too, going so far as to recite while I shower in the morning. Yes, that's sad indeed, especially considering that I can barely get into the shower at the time I wake up.
But, what I really wanted to do was share with everyone something that I found to be incredibly entertaining over the break. It's a sushi making game, and it's actually pretty challenging at first. You have to balance making sushi with ordering more materials, and you also have to know how to make the sushi. There are recipes (that are vastly simplified). It's fun, it's pointless, and it hurts your wrist if you play too long on a laptop.
Sushi Go Round
I never posted about the dream I had in Japanese. I had a dream about living somewhere like Shea House, only it was only にほんごいちねんせい and さとうせんせい was something like a house mother. It was very strange, and involved koi fish. That is all.
(this is what happens with too much stress and not enough sleep)
カッパ out!
A Kappa Explanation
I'm sure by now some people are confused as to the images I've chosen and the video clip below. The clip below, in case you can't read the rather blurred kanji, is from the anime Gensomaden Saiyuki by Kazuya Minekura. The opening isn't as full of pretty fluorishes and whatnot like the actual episodes are.
Why am I explaining this, you may ask. Well, it all has to do with the kappa nickname that I tend to use - in case you didn't figure the kappa part out by now from the signature on the left. Kappa was the term incorrectly assigned to the Saiyuki character in the original Journey to the West series, Sha Gojyo. Gojyo was a sand demon in the original Buddhist myth about a Sanzo priest traveling to India to meet the Buddha. A kappa, however, is a water demon whose favorite food is cucmbers and who carry water dishes on their heads. This is not Minekura's Gojyo, either.
Still lost? That's good - I'm not there yet. In Kazuya Minekura's version, which is far more of an action and personal discovery piece where the four main characters (five if you count Hakuryuu the dragon who can turn into a Jeep) are trying to prevent Gyumaoh, the Demon King, from being reborn, than a religious treatise (though there are a lot of philosophical aspects and debates buried within it), Sha Gojyo is actually half kappa. You can tell he's not human or demon from his red hair and red eyes. I bet now you know who he is in the clip below.
I got the nickname Kappa from Minekura-san's Gensomaden Saiyuki series, prescribed by a group of friends that seems to perpetuate it regardless of who I'm around - it's actually migrated with me past highschool. Gojyo's personality has some rugged edges, though he's really a big brother type beyond that. He's also the fair bit of a romantic, once you get past the playboy aspect. While there are plenty of differences between myself and Gojyo (mainly the whole he's a guy and I'm not aspect), the name persists.
So, longer than anyone cares, this is your kappa signing off.

Oh wow, you actually posted this for your weekly post like we suggested. It kind of reminds me of Cooking Mama but the focus is more on serving customers rather than making the food. Also, why don't you embed the game into your post?
As for skits, oh boy. They are quite possibly the hardest part of the 10 day cycle.
Actually, I tried to embed it and it didn't cooperate - it's too big of a screen for the blog's column width. And I was too lazy to go digging through the coding to fix it.
And I'm going to make a real one... I'm working on the Mononoke Hime one that I said I was going to do right now... ^.^;
