"the parents love to set the tone for a loveless evening"

I had been doing a bunch of brooding in my first year post college, and decided to again take up keeping a diary, like I had done in Germany. Today, I found the last jornal I kept, and it's kind of weird to see how much my head was swimming, and what was important to me then. Japan and the JET program really did change everything.

above is just one of the weird, self-consciously arty stuff written in there.
