1. Do you tend to remember book titles or authors the most?

Book titles, definitely. But I forget those too, if they aren't particularly noteworthy. I don't really note the characters' names either, unless I have to tell someone about them. That is one of the biggest reasons why I started my Supernatural blog back at LJ, writing about specific episodes. I wanted to remember as much as I could. I included quotes, songs etc so that I could.

2. Do you play any memory games to try and improve your memory.
No, not regularly, but I will tell you that since I have started eating kale everyday, my memory has definitely improved. I can remember Japanese kanji characters that would not have popped into my mind otherwise. I looked it up and found that there was actually a correlation so, definitely recommend it!

3. What is the very first movie you remember seeing in a movie theatre?
I didn't really watch movies at the theater when I was small. My parents may have taken me to see some Christian movie, but it doesn't come to mind. The first that comes to mind at the moment is Neverending Story. Next is Back to the Future. I stood for that one - the theater was packed.

4. What sense do you tend to rely upon the most?

Sound, I think. I also use a lot of music and rhythm to teach English.

5. When was the last time you felt lonely and what made you feel better?
Writing here, of course :) Also, cuddling with my daugher. We are hug buddies. She will just randomly come to the living room for a hug and is always there when I need her. My two boys are affectionate and there as well but hugging them for long periods of time like I do my daughter would be inappropriate :P

**********

Our barbecue planned for yesterday was cancelled due to a huge typhoon passing by. We will hopefully be able to have it on the Second of October.

Alex plans to go on a trip to Hachijojima, an island off the coast of Tokyo, on Thursday. Audrey is going on a school trip from Tue to Thur to Kyoto and Nara. Hope the weather clears soon.

I'm stressed from various work issues. Two teachers are quitting; one at the end of September, one at the end of October, and I have to find appropriate teachers to replace them or do the classes myself. I'm reading a mystery called Troubled Blood (Robert Galbraith) which is surprisingly engaging considering none of the characters are remarkable in themselves, and I'm still watching GRIMM - skipping through it for the best parts. This week we have two national holidays - today is Elderly Day, when we are supposed to say thanks to our elderly, and Friday is the Fall Solstice. I don't often have national holidays off, but I do this time so this week is only three working days. That doesn't mean I'm not working: writing mails to students and teachers and trying to salvage the teacher situation, but I don't have to teach, so yay.

That's about it I guess. Hope to get to some of your posts later.

I'm the same way with books. I can remember titles, but forget authors all the time. I had to make shelves specifically for authors on Goodreads because I would forget I want to read their books and "lose" them.

Hope you guys stayed safe during the typhoon. The Japanese wrestling show I watch canceled their shows because of it but haven't heard much after that.
