Daily excerpt from The Paranoid's Pocket Guide:
Last year, nearly 16,000 cheerleaders required emergency-room treatment for injuries, including sprains, torn knee ligaments, skull fractures, and even paralysis. One of the most dangerous routines - the Human Pyramid - has been banned in North Dakota and Minnesota schools.

Japan News: TOKYO - North Korea fired a ground-to-ship missile with a range of 100 kilometers into the Sea of Japan on Tuesday morning, for a second straight day, Japan's Defense Agency sources said, citing unconfirmed U.S. intelligence. "We are aware of unconfirmed information of that nature. We are now trying to confirm it," said a spokesman for the Japan Defense Agency, referring to a report of a possible test-firing by Japan Broadcasting Corp (NHK) on its midday bulletin.

School, BBALL & TV
Got to school a little earlier than normal. Had my breakfast of 2 hard boiled eggs and chatted with Takahashi sensei about his wife's condition.
Mikami san is yet another person that told me that I look like this guy who plays the ukelele in this CM. Many students and teachers have told me this. It's now the main topic among the students. :( I'm still not sure if I've seen this CM or not.
I taught the ninensei today. Takai was caught off guard a little bit when Takeuchi sensei asked her to read aloud with us. She needed to read in a louder and clearer voice. In 2-1, I saw the students, well the ones who were payin' attention, start to grasp the concept. For some reason, the students always want to jump the gun in answering questions. When we had the words on cards with magnets on them, the students would have to put them in correct order, read it aloud, then explain the meaning. This one girl raised her hand before I even put the second card on the board! So I had some fun with her because she was got off guard. Luckily the sentence was a question so I had a question mark card which I put over her head when she was stumped. The students enjoyed it as much as I did. After school, went to play some ball for like an hour. 2 Nanabayashi graduates and 2 9th graders came to practice as well as the student teacher. After doin' the 1-on-1 drill, the boys' practice ended, but the we ended uplayin' 3-on-3; the grad students, 9th graders and teachers all split up. I was matched up with the student teacher, who, was drainin' 3s over me! I give her props and respect for that, BUT, when I got the ball, I had to get my dignity back even if it meant "breakin' ankles". Most of ya'll are gonna say (or said, Tri), "Hey! You hoopin' on a girl!" My response is, if you want to play with da boys, you're gonna be treated equally. Don't get me wrong, she has game, played a little college ball. For the most part, it was just good to play with people who have a concept of the game. But aside from all that, we had a good time and now I hope she has the same respect for me as I do for her.
When I got home, there was this interesting TV program on about this magician. He even showed us how he did some of his tricks. I must say, he was pretty darn good! The first of my TV programs started off by the hosts helpin' out people to find a new place and move. The one guy was able to wear a shirt with marijuana on it. In plain site and primetime! As for London Hearts, it was The Love Triangle show. Man...was this guy stressin'!!! Like I said in the past, London Beat never ceases to amaze me with what they come up with!
Aite, I'm outtie!
