Enjoying Kerouac
10.14.2003

I've been a Jack Kerouac fan for a long, long time, and I've always enjoyed his prose and poetry. I've read his works many times, and when I read one of his biographies, I always seem to cry a little before I reach the end. Thankfully, there are some amazing recordings of Jack reading his own work, including some with Steve Allen improvising on piano in the background. The other day my iPod started playing October in the Railroad Earth (one of my absolute favorites), and everytime I hear it, I have to stop whatever I'm doing and simply enjoy it. The words are an amazing picture of San Francisco, railroad work, the differences between people, and the beauty of everything that is life.

Nihongo no kurasu (Japanese class) update: I've been doing great on all the quizzes and tests so far, but this week we're switching to full-on Japanese writing (hiragana, katakana, and some kanji). Kowai!
