Cool things that have happened lately:
I bought a nice scarf. It’s getting cold out!
I decided on my Halloween costume. Now all I have to do is get off my lazy bum and actually MAKE the darn thing.
Big American Shop does NOT sell Big American Clothes. It is a trick!
Talking on Skype. Yes, that’s right! I [...]

Hoorah and Hooray, here are some photos of my apartment! (Click! click!)
It’s quite exciting to live in my own place… except for being alone, and the fact that I am very messy and usually disinclined to clean!
The following happened a few weeks ago. I pulled out the trash bag from the bin, tied it up, [...]

I put all the photos on a separate page, so as not to clog up slower internet connections.
Zoos give me mixed feelings. On one hand, the zoo is a place where I can see all sorts of exciting animals. I really like animals, and thinking about animals, and thinking about going to see animals. Sometimes, [...]

Hooray! It’s Saturday! And I have internet, so I can blog from the comfort of my floor! I am wearing super comfortable sweats. I bought them in a 2-piece gray set, the kind where you just get a bag containing pants and a shirt for cheap. I bought them in size LL, and the check-out [...]

Honestly though, I just had the worst Monday in the history of my life. I know this because I looked up the dates of other bad days, and none of them were on a Monday. Nevermind that, though, I don’t want to talk about it. There is too much work to do [...]

Oh, Wow
I’m really sorry for being such a lazy blogger lately. Please forgive me!
Lately, work has been heavy… next week looks even worse on paper, and I don’t know how that will translate to actual classes.
Last night I got stood up by the Heart Tokushima folks AGAIN. I’m getting really tired of waiting at that [...]

How noir is it to open a newspaper and see your own face? Answer: Pretty noir. Please imagine the camera crawling towards a desk as the detective flips open his news paper and takes a swig from his bottle. The voiceover says, “I didn’t expect to find trouble in the variety section, but there she [...]

Dear Typhoon Sinlaku:
Donde esta the typhoon, hombre? Where is the rain? Where is the wind? Where is school getting cancelled because it’s too dangerous for students, but not teachers who must take paid vacation time if they want to avoid danger and stay home?
We were seriously looking forward to a day of cancelled classes and [...]

Today is also Practice Test day for the ichi-nensei ) first graders = 10th grade) and ni-nensei (second graders = 11th grade), which means I have no classes until 3:20, when I will play bingo with my 104 class.

Ok, everyone…
At home, I typed up the long version what happened to me this weekend, and it ended up being a 5-page word document. Frankly, this is one of those stories that “reads” better when it is told aloud, because then I can do things like add crazy emphasis and build to the “and to [...]
