How am I not myself? How am I not myself? How am I not myself?

About Me

Check out this video from when a Japanese TV crew from Yamagata Broadcasting Company (YBC) (ironically owned by my current employer's rival network Nippon TV) followed me around at my school and apartment for "A Day With a 'Yamagata-ben' (Yamagata dialect) Speaking 'Gaijin' (foreigner)" back in 2004. The video is much clearer than this still, I promise.

Books:

Seem to have read more Japanese literature than anything else. Can't seem to get enough of Soseki (i.e. kokoro, sorekara, mon, etc.) and his characters' persistant self-questioning. Murakami, Dazai, Tanizaki. Other than Japanese, anything by Chomsky or Nietzsche.
