Daily excerpt from The Paranoid's Pocket Guide:
Deadly new germs are emerging around the world at a startling rate. Equine morbilli virus, which causes a potentially fatal respiratory illness, was discovered in Australia in 1994; blood banks do not yet screen for recently discovered Hepatitis G.; and Bartonella, a bacteria discovered in 1990, can cause illnesses ranging from cat scratch fever to fatal heart-valve infections. Humans are exposed to this germ from cats carrying infected feces. Medical researchers are baffled and expect to see many more unknown mysterious diseases.

Natsuki-chan, Volleyball, SWAT, Dinner
woke up way too early today. While I was gettin' ready, I turned on the TV to see what was on. I flipped the channel to Sailor Moon. I remember Takahashi sensei tellin' me that one of the 7th graders is pursuing an actin' career. To my surprise, I saw her on Sailor Moon! I couldn't believe it, so I texted Takahashi sensei to turn to the channel 6. She's not a main character but nonetheless, she's on TV! Gonna have to tell her on Tuesday that I saw her.
Headed out to Makuhari, got picked up by Sho. Went to pick up Ami and headed to the gym. Most of Ami's team is injured, so there were only 4 girls. It's been a while since I played, so it took me a long, long, long time to get back in the rhythm. My diggin' really sucked along with my passing. Hittin' drills went on for days, but I regained my timin' so it was koo, definitely a step in the right direction. After the 4 hour practice, I was exhausted. I'm totally not in vball shape.
Afterwards, stopped by the local convenience store for a light lunch. Man, the convenience stores' food in Japan taste so much better and are healthy too. Went back to Ami & Sho's to eat and shower. Took a little nap, then headed to Makuhari Cineplex to go watch S.W.A.T.. It was a lot better than I expected. It wasn't bad. I always like seeing Michelle Rodriguez in a strong female role. ;b It was funny to read the Japanese subtitles for some of the lines that were used in the movie. Slang/Ebonics don't translate well. During the previews, got to see the LotR: RotK trailer. I must say that I was impressed. Hopefully when I go back home, I can get to see both LotR: RotK and Matrix Revolutions. Afterwards, we went to Ito Yokado to buy food for dinner. Ami's brother has moved back home from Aomori and got a new job and new notebook (to add to his 5 that he already has!) It's always koo to talk to Hide because he's a tech that loves gadgets. 7 computers, 4 PDAs, 3 digicams just to name the stuff he has. I have no idea why someone would need 7 computers, but hey, if you were makin' over 100k/year, it's all good, I guess. We had a phatty feast! Chuu Toro, various yakitori, yaki tamago, negi toro maki, roast beef, shrimp, meatballs, potato salad and washed it down with a couple of Chu His. Then the food coma hit and both Sho and I knocked out, him on the floor and me on the couch. Sho wanted to watch K1, so he told Ami to wake him up, but he was out like a light. They had some American movies on TV tonite. The first one was the Princess Diaries (in Japanese, it's called the Pretty Princess) and Shallow Hal. Ami took me back to the station and I went home.
On my way home, I saw Shachoo, Mori-san and Sakamoto-kun coming out of Ikko. Sakamoto-kun then drags me back into Ikko and the usual Saturday crew was there. Had some ocha w/Mama then headed home. Walked Kuro-chan home cuz he drank a little too much. 10 large Kirins! Fortunately, he lives in the general direction my apartment, but I was shocked to see that he only lives about a 30 sec walk from Ikko!
Well...bout to crash cuz I'm way tired! Headin' out to Kawasaki tomorrow.
Kaz out...
