hmmm...was a pretty interestin' 3 day weekend.

headed out to 'booya to meet up with b, mayumi and kyoko. it was a nice dinner with interestin' talk bout what it's like to work for mtv japan. can't believe that mayumi came all the way from ibaraki!?

crashed @ b's and watched the debate in the mornin'. bush was pretty defensive and really didn't tell us how he was gonna make things better.

headed out with b to shimo kitazawa for lunch. grubbin' avacado/bacon/cheese bagel sandwich. after that, i went to meet up with rick and steve(one of rick's groomsmen, works for toyota), he's in japan now and came up to tokyo from nagoya for the weekend. headed to rick's new house which is pretty nice. it was also kinda koo to see their brand new silver a4 wagon. tried to fix rick's outlook, but couldn't figure out what happened. my japanese readin' level isn't that good yet to be tryin' to mess around on a japanese os. messed around with steve's new pda he bought. pretty dope. had some nagoya yokan that steve brought and just chilled cuz typhoon #22 came. this typhoon was the biggest one to hit tokyo in 10 years!!! it was frickin' pourin'!!! felt bad for b, who came by afterwards cuz he was totally drenched. we then headed out to shinjuku to steve's hotel room courtesy of mika, our taxi driver. met up with junji there and we just chilled and went to eat @ el toritos. monster combo baby! can't believe we ate all that food. since junji just finished season 1 & 2 of 24 this past week, he's been hooked. so hooked, that he found this mobile website for the ringtones. now we all have ctu as our ringtone.

the next day, met up with tamawa to go check out the jintai exhibit. much like the last time i went, it was too packed. so we decided to just get some coffee before headin' to kimukatsu. when we got to kimukatsu, the line was already hella long! we had to wait almost 2 hours!?! but it was all worth the wait. the salad dressin' they had was off the hook. we ordered the garlic and negi tonkatsu. man, that was some grubbin' kimukatsu. for those of you who live in tokyo, check it out! here's the link.

it's even better when you eat it!


after dinner, we headed to this one tiny bar in ebisu. the master had hella cds. had some good kome shochu too. caught the last train and stopped over @ chacha to kick it with the crew.

i dedicated the next day to recovery. after comin' back to funabashi, i got to see the aftermath of the typhoon on da news. when a typhoon can lift trucks on top of each other, it's gotta be strong! luckily ikko was still intact!! that night, had dinner w/mama. she made me a super big miso soup. since she put in kabocha, it made it look like corn soup.

taught at elementary school today and it went ok. ended up doin' the exact same lesson that i did for the 3rd and 4th graders cuz the 5th and 6th graders had a tough time with countin' from 1-20. as always, chatted it up with tsutsui sensei and met 2 volunteer teachers that only come to the school twice a month. came home, made some salad and then got some burgers from mos burger.

gettin' ready for my nba live draft. got my pb and desktop all ready. hopefully it goes well.

well here's the results of my draft:



got the 2nd pick, which i kinda didn't want. it's either get the 1st pick or have a late pick. was happy to get dalembert, ginobili, skip to my lou & darius miles. i think i covered a lot of the weaknesses i had last year. got a pretty good free throw shootin' team.

alritey then, i'm goin' to bed.


kaz out...
