ok… I haven’t posted anything for an small eternity! now what could I blame for…
Well, maybe… since my last post was before the summer break and I was supposed to write my written thesis over summer, it might be due to that. Maybe I got the feeling I had to save all my literate energy for that and not spend it on blogs… stupid, since I didn’t manage to write the thesis over summer anyway! but it’s due soon, so… why am I starting to write for the blog again?!?
It’s funny how one loses the fun of writing when one HAS to write, and how one enjoys writing for something unimportant. And how one always finds a new interesting topic when reaching the final stage of the current thesis. Like now, I’m writing on editing and narrative styles of three Japanese animations in comparison. But now during my research for the introduction I really slipped deep into Japanese traditional theatre like Nō , Kabuki and Bunraku (or Ningyoujoururi, Japanese puppet theatre). It’s really interesting to compare their narratives and communication tools with Anime and its codes! Well, this topic will have to wait for an other occasion…
One reason, why I’m posting now is that a friend of mine suggested to cook okonomiyaki at his place so we can use up his huge bucket of mayonnaise. That’s why the following post are manly cooking based posts with recipes and tips, mainly from the Japanese cuisine, which I have rediscovered (or discovered for the 1st time for my own cooking) recently. Oh yes, right, so I haven’t been doing nothing while dust was settling on my blog: I’ve tried and trained myself in lots of different dishes!!!
