I have only 6 or 7 weeks left. I'll be in Los Angeles in the early next September.
Probably, my friends have kept promised me to drink during my rest summer vacation in Japan, but obviously, my unpreparation has prevented me from being sentimental.
I've got a confirmation from UCLA already and just have to get some Visa stuff from them, unfotunately, I haven't got it yet, wondering whether my last undergraduated summer vacation as a free man will cast something sentimental or something horrible.
Lately, I've got a lot of term papers to get done until July the 31st. This is really tough. Even today, University office called me that I had not received the paper about credits on UCLA. I was just skeptical. Receiving the paper was more important than what I had thought to be.
THEY ACTUALLY GAVE MY HOME A RING.
But, my expectation of receiving that very paper was truly ruined; the officer of English literature had already gone back to home. I was just confused because only one shot would make everything crap.
I have some extra-classes tomorrow by another teacher; the teacher has been sick for long time. Finally, I post a Van Halen's classic
Is Japanese humid summer too hot for teacher?

The Comedy of Errors
The last Wednesday, I had a class about British humour and it made me realize that how different types of joke. First, we saw Monty Python's sketches;everybody laughed because Monty Python is universal comedy. But, the 2ND one, Little Britain, which will be one of my favorite comedy programs in my life, seemed controversial.
I love that comedy and actually I like dirty jokes and always am joking about it with sarcasm. So,some friends talk to me only when I'm sober,always talking about business. The reason why I've gotten used to these kind of comedy is quite simple;my father really loves American comedies. When I was just 10 or 11 years old, my dirty comedy life just started;I was crazy about "The Simpsons." That animation starring yellow skinned people has westernized my way of joking. My friends and club members obviously think that I have a terribly sharp tongue and am sarcastic. So, my jokes possibly make Japanese people angry. This is sad but true.
But, I came to think the definition of Japanese laughter. what is that?
It probably is connected with imagination and sense of rhythm;the former is just a absurd and fantastic story.The latter is just like rap music. The imagination always gives us nothing, no conflicts,no ideology, and no criticism. That is because Japanese people hate to criticize one and another;to me, they think laughter is just laughter. Perhaps, history of Japan Can be related.Samurai did not laugh, just like old proverb says "A samurai smiles once every three years, and then only with one cheek," actually I don't like smiling, but love laughing.
The sense of rhythm also gives us nothing,only clapping hands and laughing like festivals or carnivals.(telling you the truth, those comedians are so boring that I can't stop beating poly meter with my hands.) When Japanese people see Britain or American comedies, they suppose immediately that they are dirty and crap.
Think again, some"intelligent" comedians often appear on TV and quarrelling with politicians. and became mayors or something,sometimes talking on big.
But, actually they have not given nothing to us. The comedy that gives only laughter to us is beyond comedy,just absurdity.
