Today I had a work party (this is a pretty common thing in Japan; unsure about the rest of the world because I've only ever done part time jobs in America and I've never lived in any other country!) and while drinking with some of my coworkers, this amusing story happened. Inspired by Shige's ridiculous J-web entries, I want to try to tell it in ( Read more... )

Sorry for lateness; life has been crazy, but... I saw Peach Girl last weekend! In fact, I saw it three times in two days, because I'm cool. XD; But it was totally worth it! And that's coming from someone who usually hates romance movies. I really enjoyed how the characters and the story were handled, so I highly recommend it to anyone who has a ( Read more... )

I'm back from Nagoya! I had a great time, the show was wonderful, and I didn't even get typhoon'd on the way I did in Shizuoka! I'm really sad that that was my second-to-last time to see the show, but... since I've been able to see it three more times than I saw last year's tour already, I'm happy ( Read more... )

I'm sorry for going MIA so much, but just for the record, I'm going to be out of town from tomorrow, Wednesday, May 3rd to Sunday, May 7th. I'll still be checking email and getting LJ notifications (presuming LJ is being agreeable about email notifications), but I won't have much access to a computer during that time ( Read more... )

Why does it take so long to put stupid chocolates into stupid bags?? Sheesh. I spent like 2 hours today packing up the chocolates for my JHS so that I can give them out tomorrow... 36 baggies, which is less than half of the total chocolates I have to package up over all. T__T ( Read more... )

Today was exhausting. I had to meet a new coworker (the replacement for someone who I really, really disliked and who was generally a rude, racist, sexist asshole, so I was glad that he was being replaced, but also nervous that his replacement might be equally awful) and teach the class of kids who have intense behavioral issues, and then also ( Read more... )

Well, I meant to post again today, but instead, I came down with a gross bug, so I slept all day. >< I'm heading to Tokyo this weekend (here's to hoping I feel better tomorrow...), and Monday is a national holiday, so that means I'll be back online and back to work on Tuesday.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

I'm back from Hiroshima and Kobe! I had a great time, and if I can find the time, I want to post photos here eventually, but for right now, I have one day at home before heading into Tokyo for New Year's ( Read more... )

Well, I felt kind of gross yesterday, but today, I woke up with a 40º C fever. I really hope it's not influenza, but I feel like it's likely, so I'm probably going to end up at the hospital tomorrow. Yuck. I've had a cough since Friday and I can't sleep well from the coughing, so I'm trying to take it easy now ( Read more... )
