March 11, 2009 at 11:27 AMoh right bababardwan, i might have guessed that now ...
for the last 2-3 yrs we've had a huge market in Japan for 醋饮料s.
http://www.beverageworld.com/content/view/32695/158/
only one of the many producers of drink and now dessert vinegars, uchibori (making 醋 since 1876) promote theirs with who they say is the first Japanese '醋summelier'.
target being women obviously. pretty gift bottles of cherry, blueberry, apricot etc. drinkable vinegars are being promoted for White Day (mar 14, guys get girls gifts in return for valentine's chocolate). guys looking to depart from the very predictable box of macarons can now plunge for a lovely 2800 yen teddy-bear bottle of sweet-sour balsamic cherry vinegar. trop cher!

March 11, 2009 at 6:20 AMbababardwan, 这个 dr. juma 是在那里营业的?? 我最喜欢的是 casino specialist。 应该是赌博成瘾者吧。
once i became obsessed with cleaning some very grimy 10-yen coins which are 95% copper. after i let them sit in a jar of vinegar water for a day they became shiny and new-like. but i see now that i could be in violation of a law against damaging currency for that, if deemed to have deliberately induced corrosion (which the vinegar treatment will indeed do). vinegar is potent stuff.
some women say they drink vinegar because it's supposed to make them limber. i don't know how effective that is but i do know that gradual stretching works very well.

March 8, 2009 at 4:18 PMi just quickly want to amend what i said about strippers, as if they all believe they have no other way of supporting themselves. i'm sure in many cases that's not true.

March 8, 2009 at 3:22 PMhi cassie,
grass-skirt-dance is hula dance, or just hula i think is ok.
pole dancing is ... what rjberki says it is ↑, but a friend in LA (not training to be a stripper, she and her husband both have good jobs) said she was taking classes and enjoyed it, that was 2-3 yrs ago. so it does have that dimension in the US also (at least in LA). i don't know what her husband thought of that.
in Japan too there was a flurry, not quite a boom, among girls a couple of years ago. you do need a pole going from floor to ceiling to do this. i saw one on the dance floor at a club recently but everyone just kind of stayed away from it.
not to sound patronizing cassie, but i think we like that you don't know what it is :)

March 12, 2009 at 3:15 AMBob Dylan is a poet--no doubt. partial to prose poetry myself, i would say my favorite book of American poetry is Sam Shepard's Motel Chronicles.
bill,
"Dans la court, plantains cinq." or "In the courtyard, banana trees 5."
that's almost ... Chinese. 我很喜欢。
pete,
i guess tudou doesn't serve Japan so i haven't seen the youthful interpretation. thanks for bringing us a woman poet. this poem easily brought up a lot of visual images. apparently though i really like pensive and brooding (probably a sign of some inability to live in the present)!
