Madame AKUBI,

Congratulations on being the first to post at Mr. SERIN's Web journal!

I suspect with the number of "sock puppet" replies he has crafted on his last post, yours may be the last "organic" comment he ever receives.

I remain,

M. SINGH

Anyway, it occured to me as I listened to the most recent call-in thing that there is a Japanese verb that applies perfectly to Casey: nagasu. If you look in the dictionary it gives English like "to float along" or "to cruise" as literal translation, but I think it not full capture the actual nuance of the word in daily life. There is no one word direct translation in English for nagasu, I believe.

Basically, nagasu is used in a situation where somebody is criticized, and then seems to accept the criticism entirely and humbly...but then does nothing to change the basic behavior first criticized. It is a very common way of reacting to uncomfortable in Japanese society, to avoid direct conflict. Or to appear of agree while just doing what you want anyway. Casey is a expert of nagasu I am absolutely sure. Because it can be said, he always agrees with the criticism and keeps saying "yes you are right, I have to work on that" over and over but then he just continues earlier behaviors without any changes at all.

It is very funny in one sense, but also a kind of sickness of behavior in his case, it seems.
