i love espn motion!

man, the fight durin' the pistons/pacers game was off da heezy!! did ya'll see jermaine oneal knock da f#$%! out of one of the fans!?!? i gotz one word for that...."goddamn!!!"

but, i must agree with most of the experts on this one, the players should've never crossed that line. sure, maybe the fans disrespected you but you gotta look at it this way, a: you won the game & b: you make more money in one game than most of those fans make in a year! why bother?

but the flip side to that coin, i'm gonna have to quote sir charles on this one. "yes were professionals, but we're men first". i'm quite sick of this whole thing, especially watchin' constantly on cnn @ b's.

i speak about this because i have both jo (25 games) and s.jackson (30 games) on my fantasy team with da crew from slandro. not sure what i'm gonna do.

i'll be sure to watch the christmas day games: heat vs. lakers, pistons vs. pacers!

on wed, had dinner with one of my japan families, the hasegawas. it was shinba's 3rd yr bday party and we went to eat chinese food in yachiyo. it seemed like mama ordered too much food cuz she was always, 2 of this, 4 of that, 3 of those, etc. we didn't have room on the table for everything. somehow we finished 95% of it.

as for this past weekend, it chillin'. had my elementary school's bazaar. the food was aite, however the karaage was good. then i went to have some tea with mama and she cooked up some duck soup courtesy of ozaki-san most recent huntin' expedition.

at night, miyamoto-san picked me up and went back to his mansion before headin' out for dinner with these vball coaches. we went to this resturant called hana no mori (forest of flowers). it's a pretty chic place. the thing about the restaurant is that you can order normally or ask the chef to make you something of your choice. had this crab/avocado dish which was off da hook. one of the coaches was an english teacher in funabashi a while back, so i had to ask him if he knew my sister and he did!

next day, we had day 2 of the renshuujiai (practice games) with one school from kanagawa ken and another one from tochigi ken. the games were pretty split down the middle. for lunch, the five of us went to eat some anago don and soba. talkin' to one of the coaches, she was so nice...i mean like she was speakin' to me in keigo (proper/formal japanese) but when we got back onto the court, man, it was total dr. jeykl and mr. hyde. aside from the hair pullin', yellin' and other forms of abuse, toita sensei took the cake today boy. man, i would hate to be on her bad side as a player. the team forgot to move these boxes after lunch and man, she got furious. she actually left the school for like 30 min.! then, poor, poor natsu-chan...she was just not doin' this drill right and toita sensei made sure she wouldn't make that mistake again. i must've stopped countin' after the 30 or 40th ball to da face and point blank range but i know that there were way more. she makes bobby knight look like a saint...

anyhow, after practice, headed out to kinshicho to meet up with megu for dinner. it was good to catch up on things after not kickin' for more than a month. tried this one nyuu sho chu from miyazaki ken, it was derived from the onsen water, not sure why they called it milk.

monday was a chill day. didn't have any classes cuz the teachers handed back all the midterms. left @ 1700 and headed out to b's. for some reason, i decided to take all the express trains but in the end, 5 transfers later, i arrived at the same time if i were to take half the number of trains. oh well, lesson learned. so, got to b's, chilled for a bit, then had some kfc (my first time eatin' kfc in japan) then headed out to shibuya for timo's friends' event @ nutz. it was pretty chill, the first part of the event was a fashion show where the girls would walk down this makeshift catwalk. the thing is, they were wearin' all the same clothes!? for the most part, we were just in chill mode. it's not often that i go to a club to just chill. it's usually to drink or to dance or both. after about 2 hrs, we decided to catch the last train home.

it was finally good to actually sleep in and get some good sleep for once cuz haven't been gettin' really good sleep lately. it's really nice to be able to watch cnn. it's the only thing i watch when i'm at b's. but i must say, the only thing that was on was, iraq -> nba fight -> iraq -> nba fight .... b also recorded 24 (season 1) and temptation island 3. i think if i had cable, i would watch tv 24/7.

headed to 'ppongi to meet up with jt and eugene for our thailand plannin' meetin' @ tgi friday's. eugene broke the whole trip down for jt and i. afterwards, met up with junji for some coffee with b and jt. it was good to see the crew and just catch up.

so this year will be the first year that i'm not in da us for thanksgivin'. however, i'm gonna have a full on turkey meal. tama's friend has been doin' thanksgivin' dinner for many years now and a bunch of us are gonna go.

the next events:

11.25: thanksgivin' dinner in ebisu
11.28: english speech contest?
12.04: ikko no bonenkai in kowagama
12.05: yas' baby shower in yokohama
