Can't really remember what I did...oh wait...I went to Shacho's house for his new year's party @ 1130. I didn't realize how close I live to him. It probably only takes like 30 seconds, for realz!! Anyhow...Sakamoto and his family were already there. Met all of his kids and before I could sit down, Shacho was already orderin' me to drink. The food, man, the food was off da hook!!! Sashimi, sushi, yakitori, grilled tai, oshinko, tenpura, soba, etc... Of course there was beer, then gold specked sake, then sho chu. Somewhere down the line, I took a nap under the kotatsu. @ around 1630, Shacho, Sakamoto and I headed to Ikko for some drinks and to sing karaoke.
For some reason, after takin' that nap, I think my body became immune to alcohol...or my liver just shut down, cuz no matter how much I drank, it didn't even phase me. Since it was a packed house, I helped Mama serve people and make drinks while she cooked. Sakamoto (who I now call nichan = big brother) handled the karaoke machine for everybody. I was gettin' a little tired, so I decided to call it a night @ around 2000ish. Found out later that they played mahjong and Sakamoto lost all the money he won from the other day.

Chilled at home for most of the day. Headed out to Yokohama to meet up with Scott, who was organizin' this event for his friends and students. It was my first time in Yokohama, yeah, it took over 9 months to finally go there. But I must say that it's quite a nice place. Met up with Scott @ Takashimaya and met his friend Martin (from England) and Akiko. John came by a little bit later, as well as Bryan. Met some more of their students and we all headed to Hama Bowl.

Since I stayed up til like 0700 modifyin' all the rosters on my ESPN BBall season, I slept in til like 1500. Went grocery shoppin' and then headed over to Ikko for dinner. Kita, Takahashi and this old guy who I know but can't remember his name. Sensei came through later as well as Hashimoto. I had some grubbin' sukiyaki, karaage, salmon and some miso shiru. This night, Sensei drank a lot. First, he had to drink the beer this one old guy was pourin' for him, next, he killed his bottle of sho chu, then drank some sake that mama had @ her house. He was pretty funny. Around 2200, I went home and crashed out.

This mornin' I got one of the craziest IMs. It was from "the Dude" aka. Brandon Smith, my old co-worker back @ Prima. He tells me that he's gettin' married!!! I was like whoah, easy rider, u serious? I'm happy for the guy cuz he found a girl who shares the same interests as him. They both love anime, fantasy/sci fi movies, toys, etc...
First day of the new semester. Openin' ceremony was kinda borin', like all these endin' and closin' ceremonies. Now just chillin'
So I finally broke down and signed up for Myspace.com. I must say that it's a lot better than Friendster. Tony's page is pretty tight, gots the Zion I video playin' on it. We'll see how long this keeps my interest...
Played some bball today with the team. Since it was Tuesday, only the boys practiced. The first day back into playin' ball after a long hiatus of eatin' and drinkin' was REALLY tough. Played for about 3 hours before callin' it. Went home, showered and was off to Tsudanuma to kick it with Ko. Ko's parents and little brother are out of town, so he made some slammin' curry the other day. The longer the curry sits in the pot, the better it tastes, so after 3 days, I was eatin' it at it's prime time. Brought some DVDs over for Ko to borrow but all the "digital archives" didn't work. Hero and Fist of Legend worked (because they're region free) and of course Azumi does. After that, we walked down to this music, toy, videogame, dvd & manga shop. They had all this retro stuff: from Famicon (NES in America) to PS2 & Xbox. Ko picked up 2 more volumes of Azumi and I picked up a used Glay CD. It was crazy how they had all these gift packs of CDs rangin' from about $4 to $15, whose original price is somewhere near the vicinity of $35/CD. There were even some albums that I paid $35 for, sellin' for $.50!!! After that, we headed back to the house and Ko made me a "digital archive" of the 12 girl orchestra from China. Ko showed me the squad he came up with in Winning Eleven (the dopest soccer game series out, hands down). After that, I passed out on for a bit, cuz I was exhausted from the day. Around 2330, Ko drops me off @ home and I hit the sack instantly.

I was so tired this morning, that I slept through my alarm. Luckily the internal alarm kicked in @ around 0715, which gave me enough time to get ready but not to eat breakfast. Today was the start of the regular classes. Gave a little speech about my winter vacation and then tested the students on how much they could understand. For this month's lunch, my menu was picked out by Takahashi sensei because I was gone when they asked for the lunch scantrons. Today, I'd rather would've had B, but A was ok. Just been chillin' since lunch. Cleanin' is gonna start soon, so I'll wrap this up. Gonna play some bball today. Need to get into shape for this weekend.
