been pretty busy with writin' my speech, writin' the dialogue for my 7th graders and makin' a business letter to an investor for my friend's new business.
last night @ around 0323, there was an jishin (earthquake). the thing with earthquakes in japan is that the initial part of it is like somebody picked up your table and dropped it, then the side-to-side motion comes. tri tells me that it might be how the tectonic plates are in japan cuz back in cali, i never felt the up-and-down motion.
been rentin' a lot of movies lately to pass the time (as you can see from my updated movie list) while on summer break. i must say that i liked: pirates of the carribean, good will hunting (i kno, i'm like the last person in da world that has seen this), g@me (a japanese movie w/the ever so pretty nakama yukie), 8 mile, phonebooth (surprisingly better than i thought it would be) &ocean's eleven. theater wise, hittin' up the late shows (not payin' 1800yen (approx. $16), whereas late shows are 1200yen (approx. $11)). i've seen spiderman, and lately been goin' to movies on wednesdays (wednesdays in japan are women's day, ie. they get to watch for only 1000yen (approx. $9)) with mikie. last week we watched day after tomorrow and this week we watched king arthur (was supposed to go see shrek 2, but she hasn't seen shrek 1).
well...tomorrow i'm off to school to help out the kids a bit on their speeches and then i'm goin' to hanabi taikai (fireworks festival) w/megumi.
aite then,
kaz out...
some other stuff from the past 2 weeks:
- mama got me a yukata!
- my girls finished 2nd in the city and best 8 in the prefecture
- went to barbacoa (the root of the word barbeque), a brazilian bbq place in omotesando w/b, rick, mika and ko. tabehodai (all you can eat) = grubbin'!
- rick and mika's tokyo weddin' party with 3 after parties! nice restaurant, koo but chotto incriminatin' slide show from hawaii, saw all my big bros and met my new big sis
- many lunches with mama
- kicked it in odaiba w/megumi
- hiyori's phat bday party in koenji. met tons of peeps, had some grubbin' but hot ass thai food and somehow broke hiyori's wine opener (the screw is still in the cork!)
- kicked it with marian in shibuya one last time before she went back to maryland. was floored by her and shirelle's singing @ karaoke! they made me sign up for membership to get a discount and made sure that i got the hello kitty member's card. ; b
- went to my junior high school's matsuri, saw some of my old students and had a good time with my current ones. bought all my kids drinks (ramun not beer!) and then went back to ikko to kick it with one of my big bros there.
- jamie and burr got me a shirt but sent it to ryoko. so she forwarded it to me along with the june issue of pb. since she works for pb japan, she always gives issues to her friends as gifts. it just so happens that this issue is a special edition cuz it's the first japanese pm.
in other news
- apple comes out with the 4th gen ipod. hmmm....this may actually make me buy one now
- ricky williams retires!? i really like some of the comments he said: "I didn't quit football because I failed a drug test," he said. "I failed a drug test because I was ready to quit football." & "Marijuana is 10 times better for me than Paxil".
- team usa bball loses to italy!?! ummm....wtf!!!
- jamal crawford goes to the knicks! isiah does it again...we'll see how this pans out
