Days til I'm home!: 25

Daily excerpt from The Paranoid's Pocket Guide:
Spontaneous human combustin is most likely to happen during a period of strong magnetic disturbance. No one knows how or why a person seemingly ignites without any external fuel, leaving behind little more than a heap of ashes, an uncharred limb, and a pungent blue smoke hanging in the air, but many victims were wearing slippers at the time.

Japan News: HIROSHIMA - A U.S. Marine was shot and seriously injured early Sunday by an unidentified man in a car passing by as he was walking with two other Marines in downtown Hiroshima City, police said. The 21-year-old sergeant, whose name has not been released, and the two other servicemen are stationed at the U.S. base in Iwakuni, Yamaguchi Prefecture, and arrived in Hiroshima on Saturday evening for leisure. Iwakuni is near the prefectural border between Yamaguchi and Hiroshima in western Japan.

School, Ikko, Bazaar, International Festival, Kill Bill & NBA Fantasy Draft
10.24.03
Woke up at around 0630
Chatted with Russ and Tri for a little bit. Russ is goin' to Vegas for Derrick's bachelor party. Russ also told me that all his fish died! Right after he spend $130 on more fish!!! Ouch!
was giving Tri a hard time about Fantasy football and he was wondering if when I was going to be back so that we could have a QA dinner @ one of our favorite restaurants which is now in SF.
Was runnin' a little late, cuz I had take the trash out. Almost at Narita kaido, on my way to the school, I hear this soft voice sayin' something that resembles my name. The next thing I know, Mikie is pullin' up next to me on her bike. We have our greetings and at the same time, we both say that we're runnin' late. Upon reachin' MatsuKiyo, we went our separate ways.
Got to school in 2nd fastest time. A nice 3 min. My legs were about to go out when I was about 300m away. Luckily it's a slight downgrade. Got to school, found out our classes are only 45 min today. Takai and I taught the first class without the help of Takeuchi sensei. Unfortunately it was with 2-5, one of the worse classes which made it difficult to teach.
After school, headed to my dentist appointment. Had no idea it was just to check on my crown. The actual time in the chair was only like 2 minutes max! I ended payin' 150 yen.
Headed to the ATM to get some money to pay for my Yahoo!BB bill. Stopped over at Ikko for just one drink. Unfortunately the WHOLE crew was there: Shacho, Sensei, Otsuki, Yoko, Kita, Ezure, Mori, Kobi, Kohiyama and chi mama. Shacho wasn't kind to me. He kept refillin' my glass. Then Kohiyama san brought out some Chinese wine, which was pretty tasty. Then, Akastu san invited me to one of his local bars. I only went cuz I was concerned of his well-being. He was OVER. Met the mama san at the place and also met a Nanabayashi parent. His son goes to Nanabayashi elementary. Afterwards, headed to master san's bar. Met some new peeps and now I have my own sho chu bottle there. I was surprised to see Shacho and Mori san come through. Not sure how I went from only havin' one drink to ......????
I tried to catch Yu's crew performing on TV, but I didn't see them. I know I was watching the right channel and show, cuz it was a hip hop program. Oh wellz...shoganai
10.25.03
Woke up at around 0645 and worked out a little bit.
Headed to school. Today's the bazaar so there were tons of parents there settin' up. We had demonstration classes in the morning so some parents watched. 2-5 sucked as usual but 1-5 was kinda interesting because they made skits. Unfortunately we didn't get a chance to screen the skits. One group, brought these toy guns in and acted out a bank robbery. Not too sure how the parents felt bout that. Oh well...shoganai
@ around 11:45, Takahashi sensei and I headed down to the bazaar. There were tons of stuff goin' on. All kinds of food: curry, yakitori, yakisoba, tonjiru, drinks, onigiri, crafts, clothes and tons of other stuff in the gym. Surprised to see Nakamura sensei come through. Mikie also came. But maybe was a bad idea, because ALL my students asked me if she was my kanojo (girlfriend). After a while, my reply came second nature...tomodachi da (friend). We had some tonjiru and yakitori. After that, we headed back to Takinoi and Mikie went to get her car so we can go to the multicultural fair @ Amanuma Koen which was sponsered by the International Relations dept. Saw my father's friends there. Had some grubbin' Chinese flat dumpling which tasted like gyoza. Saw some Chinese dancing as well as Capoeira. Mikie has never seen it before, so she really enjoyed it. After the fair ended, we headed to Makuhari cineplex to watch a movie. I recommended Kill Bill. I must say the movie is pretty dope. If ya'll haven't seen it yet, get yo self to the theater. It's a little gory for you weak hearted folks. I'm plannin' on watchin' it again. Came home, made some curry and called it an early night.
10.26.03
Got up pretty early, around 0600ish. Hopped online to do some last minute research for my NBA fantasy league draft. The draft went aite...I had the #1 pick, which I didn't want. Took KG. You can view the draft results here. Made some gyoza for lunch and headed out to Tsudanuma to look for books and pick up the new Outkast cd. While in Tsudanuma, headed to the new Jusco shopping center. Man, it's pretty dope! Found this store that specializes in foreign goods. I picked up: a bottle of Cabernet from Chili, spaghetti sauce, corn beef hash and maple/brown sugar oatmeal! I remember seein' this shoppin' center being built...but never thought it was goin' to be that gigantic! Anyhow, came home and made some dinner while bumpin' my new cd.
I have tomorrow off, so not sure what I'm plannin' on doin'. Maybe head to Akihabara to buy the iPod??? We shall see how I feel tomorrow morning.
Kaz out...
