sunday night
dinner w/tomo was koo. we tried this new restaurant near tsudanuma eki. they had this one potato dish which didn't look that good, but was grubbin'. i also finally got to tell her about yu. she does remember him, she remembers him because he was always hangin' around a guy with dread locks or something. need to confirm w/yu bout that one. anyhow afterwards, got some ice cream @ the hagen daaz store.
headed over to ikko to get some tea. sakamoto, shacho, kita and kita's friend were there. after 2 cups of tea, shacho insisted that i drink a real drink. 2 oolong hi's later, shacho busts out these brand new, rare 1000 yen bills and hands them out to everyone. sakamoto's wife then comes by to pick up him, but not before shacho gives her a back massage. afterwards, helped mama clean up and then walked shacho back home...of course we had a lot of kyuke (breaks).
monday
start of a new week. ate my natto for breakfast and headed out to school. man, was it cold and was it pourin' rain! got to school and found out that 3 7th grade teachers were absent includin' takahashi sensei!
had class with takeuchi sensei and was surprised by kawashima chan, who has come up with a nickname for me... bin ke which is my name (phonetically) backwards. not sure how much i like that, we'll see if it sticks...
throughout the day, kids were constantly comin' into the teacher's room and callin' home because they're sick. i think we had about 30-40 kids sick with about another 20-30 all wearin' their sars masks.
got a weird call from some lady @ school. she's an english teacher in the funabashi and she asked me if i was available to come to her class on thursday night. from what i could understand, it seems as though i'm gonna get paid for this. kinda weird how she got my name...she just called the school and asked for the alt. hmmm...
got some pretty good exercise in playin' bball. played til like 1800. yumie & mika came out to play with the boys too.
headed over to ikko again to get a quick bite to eat. yuasa sensei was there with 3 of her friends singin' karaoke. kita & kobi were there when i got there. yoko came by later, so it was startin' to get pretty busy, so mama put me to work. she taught me how to make her famous karaage as well as her kumamoto miso shiru. sensei came by a little bit later and i gave him the rest of the tantakatan. chatted with mama and sensei for a while bout a lot of things. this new guy, well it was only his second time comin', came thru and i chatted with him a bit. you're typical older salaryman by the name of sasaki. went home and then crashed out.
tuesday
another day, 3 teachers sick, even more students. miyakawa sensei brought out this chainlink puzzle thinga majiggy. he said that he spend about 4 hours the night before tryin' to figure it out but couldn't. i attempted it for about 10 min before gettin' frustrated. class was koo...the 8th graders seem to be the most outgoin' now...more so than the 7th graders.
lost again in janken (paper, rock, scissors) so i had to clean the toilets. didn't play bball cuz i was a little tired. kinda had to pass time away, cuz from 1530, the school's internet was down. so i was kinda stuck for 2 1/2 hours tryin' to kill time.
@ 1700, i was out the door. headed home and played a couple of games of the new season i started in espn bball with the nuggets. then headed out to kita narashino @ around 1845 to meet up with mikie, junko and natsuyo. went to watami (again!) and tried to have food that we haven't eaten before. this dinner was part shinenkai and part mikie's quittin' work party. it's always interestin' hangin' out with them cuz they come up with the funniest english questions. we rescheduled our nabe party for next month. should be koo.
wednesday
another easy day today. mikami san gave me some special kind of preserved kaki. never had that before. today is also chukyokyo so there's only 4 periods and no kyushoku so we had to order bento. mikami san gave me the choice of the regular bento or another place. i was curious about the new place so i went with that...it was 50 yen more...but that's ok. when i got the bento, i realized it was from miyagokoro!!! holy crap!!! it's been a long, long time since the last time i had their bento. very very natsukashii yo. anyhow...i'm bouts to maybe head home soon and take a nap. tonite, oshima san invited me over for dinner @ 1830.
