TGIF!!!
well it's finally friday and i'm sure glad it is. it's been a rather long week and i still can't seem to shake this cough. finally got my cv done and sent out. was stressin' a bit now that the time is just around the corner. however, not as stressin' for my 9th graders. today is 特色化選抜発表, when high school entrance results are posted. it's about a 30% success rate but the 70% still have another chance to take a test at the end of this month. however, if they fail that one too, then they have to resort to the next school.
had my mid-season redraft last weekend. didn't do too well. sakurai was 2 picks ahead of me and took 3-4 guys that i wanted. not as many ppl in-person this time but it was fun nonetheless. however, i feel bad for mm and pelt; they weren't: in-person nor online, AND they didn't even send in a list. so...they got screwed. they have their keepers but after that, they can draft whatever was leftover. keep in mind, each team consists of 15 players AND we have 20 teams in this league. so do the math and try figure out what kind of players are left...
my team:
ak47, j.magloire, j.terry, l.ridnour, m.blount, j.rose, m.peterson, e.jones, a.daniels, n.mohammed, s.swift, q.ross, j.jeffries, j.graham, t.allen.
変な天気
it's been almost 3 years now in the motherland and i must say that i will probably never get fully accustomed to the weather here. but i guess ya gotta weigh the pros & cons of the whole thing. pros: japan claims to boast 4 beautiful/distinct seasons, however i would say that there are 5 seasons (typhoon season), havin' snow is kinda koo too. cons: the summers sucks (way too humid), the winters are freezin', nice/comfortable weather is about 2 months total for the whole year. the other day, mother nature teased all of us with some awesome spring-like weather. however the following day was cold.
stuff i've been watchin':
watched into the blue last week. i must say, it exceeded my expectations. the times when j.alba wasn't in the shots actually kept my interest. it was interestin' to see paul from 24: season 4 in it. but i guess the real reason to watch this movie was for j.alba, and after watchin' it, she is unaminously the #1 on da list.
started watchin' lost: season 1. just finished the 2 pilot episodes. pretty interestin' story.
on tap for this weekend is: jeanette's bday party on sat., then snowboarding in niigata on sunday. it'll be my first time snowboardin' in japan, so i know i'm gonna be rusty (not that i was any good before) and sore as a mutha on monday. aite ya'll, have a good weekend.
