« I Say Unto Thee: Read The Name of My Blog | Main | Purchasing Power »
Took my Japanese final yesterday, got the results back this morning (C-; overall course grade of B), asked my Japanese teacher out this afternoon. She said no (standard girl reason: "this isn't a good time for me"), but the look of surprise on her face was fucking priceless.

I must say, Jason, you have got some serious stones on you.

Pics? And don't tell me that you haven't gotten a camera phone yet.

Lukas -
Not really a big deal. I mean, I had nothing to lose, you know?
Marc -
Camera phone aside, there is no world in which I would have had a rational excuse for snagging a picture of my Japanese teacher today. Or at any other point in time, come to think of it.

I just read your blog for Tuesday, March 15: I know this sounds weird, but it made me think of this show, probably before your time called the Courtship of Eddie's Father. Their Housekeeper was named Mrs. Livingston. She was Japanese.

The show was a bit before my time, yeah, but I just looked it up online. I'm not really seeing the connection, but hey, whatever works for you.
Oh, and my Japanese teacher was American. Well, she is American. Just no longer my teacher.

did you see the hitch movie?
when they say "this isn't a good time for me"
it really means try again :)

You know, I had actually sort of wanted to see that movie. It looked kind of funny. Also, clearly, all of my dating advice should come from Hollywood... ^_-
(Which doesn't mean I'm going to try again - that's really never gotten me anything but trouble.)

Clearly, we just have different styles. Here's how I would have done it (prior to the actual asking, of course.)
You walk up and say that you're a very sentimental sort of person and that you like taking pics of all your professors for a scrapbook.
OR
You say that you want to get a class picture.
OR
You admit to having a lunatic friend on the East Coast that doesn't think you can pull either of the two scenarios detailed above in a credible fashion such that you can get the associated folks to pose, and you'd like to prove him wrong.

You should have worn your velvet fedora and pinky ring.

You should have told her that you think you're turning Japanese.
You really think so.

No sex, no drugs, no wine, no women, no fun, no sin, no you, no wonder it's dark....
Hey! Maybe you are turning Japanese!
^_^

Damn, Lukas! You're so right! I'm sure she woulda been all over me if I'd been tricked out with pimp style!
Marc - you're referencing something, and I feel like I should know what it is. But I don't.

I was expanding on Erik's ingenious quote. My post is the bridge to that song.
In case you don't know the song, it's called "Turning Japanese" and it's by a group called "The Vapors."

I am more partial to the Auqa Shoes, and vat of bubbling oil... She turns ya down... you burn the ho.

Marc -
I know the song, but only the chorus. It's the culturally relevant part!
Mike -
It's not like she spat in my face when she said it or anything. Very nice, in fact. No skin off my teeth, that way.

I'm proud of you for asking her out. Really, my favorite part of your journal is whenever you talk about women and dating. You should ask more women out and get some good material. :)

I'll work on it, Deb. Anything to keep you entertained. ^_-
