the weekend started off on a super low. headed to chacha after eatin' dinner @ ikko and noticed tons of police in the area. asked mama what was goin' on and she told me that saito san (serenade's owner) committed suicide. i couldn't believe it at first and am still shocked to this moment. here's to saito san, thx for the great memories we had the past 14 months. rest in peace...

saturday, had another vball renshuujiai. takane jhs, our rival came. the last game we played, the score was 23-25, by far the closest we've come. however, they were missin' their ace player. natsumi, the team captain messed up again and got toita sensei so mad, that she told her to go home. and when she didn't, she told one of the girls to get her bag and bring it to her. then she took the bag and threw it outside! got to meet this one coach from kashiwa, same age as me and it's his first year as an english teacher. he studied in wales...nuff said.

that night, was ikko's bonenkai. kohiyama san dressed up as a geisha girl and everyone was callin' him "kopanion san". got to meet kita san's baby's mama. the food was really good too. drank way too much nihon shuu with ezure san. didn't make it thru the night. tried to take a quick little nap = passed out. got back on da bus with everyone and then came home. not sure if i said goodbye to anybody but i really felt dead/exhausted. swerved home and was ko'd in seconds.

was awoken @ around 0500 by the typhoon winds (#27, a record for this year & there hasn't been a typhoon in december as far as ppl can remember) that shook apt and even the slidin' doors within' my apt. after tryin' to fall back asleep for the next 3 hrs without success, i woke and cleaned up a bit. got ready and headed out to tokyo. @ tsudanuma, i went to laox's baby center to look for a gift for the shower. it was kinda weird goin' into the baby section. i ended up gettin' a beanie and then some socks @ gap. met up with ricky @ 'buya, then we headed out to yokohama. since scotty & yas live with her parents, their place is really big. her parent's are really koo. they have friends that live in funabashi, so they come out about once a month. their dad was constantly handin' out the beer while the moms was cookin' up a feast. saw ken, unfortunately he was in a cast cuz he had a stress fracture from runnin' the half marathon last month. also got to see chiaki and she was givin' me all this $h!t bout me usin' chopsticks and japanese. hmph, oh well!? scotty started a pool for the baby. one for the time of birth and one for the length of labor. hindsight, i think there should of been one for the weight but oh well.

said my goodbyes and headed out to shinbashi to meet up with tama. took the yurikakome (driverless monorail) and went to watch sky captain. i really didn't know what kind of movie to expect cuz the trailers and makin' of didn't really show the story. i was pleasantly surprised on the fx of the movie as well as the story. of course, angelina jolie's character was dope as well as extremely sexy. afterwards, went to get a bite to eat @ saizeriya and then went home.

should've went straight to bed, but decided to give espn nba 2k5 a quick test run. the graphics have been improved greatly as well as some really dope new moves. i need to tweek the controller settings a bit to fit my style. i like the hop step but it's the same button as passin' icons which sucks. the half time and end of game highlights are nice new feature. still tryin' to decide which team to use to start a franchise with. need to catch up on the current season. i think it's a toss up between: denver, detroit, orlando, houston or i could just try my luck with a fantasy draft.

kaz out...
