mmmm sashimi
ugh, I came up with a terrible pun yesterday in class when I was feeling particularly... I dunno how to describe the feeling I get. Silly? Wonky? Stupid? Anyway, the japanese say "o-hisashiburi" (oh he saw she boo ree) meaning "long time no see" or "it's been awhile" or something. So I was in one of my classes at Tsukioka for the first time this year and I said ohisashiburi to them, explained it in english. Next class I go up, look at 'em kinda funny, then say osashimiburi (sashimi being raw fish, like sushi with no rice, and buri being my favorite kinda of sashimi, it's a kind of tuna) they were in stitches laughing that up. I felt like a complete tool, but I get like that sometimes.
Also, played basketball again last night. I was calling myself Brick and Mortar (a brick is when you miss a shot) but B was calling me Jumpshot Jones. I did drain a few good ones, but during the last game, in the last few seconds, I was up against Norbert (this big slovakian/american dude, the 4th of the gaijin that come) and I fake a shot, he jumps, then on his way down I pull up for my jump shot. Fucker is so much taller than me that even though I was jumping and he was on the ground he still swatted me with no effort. He's gotta be literally a foot taller than me, huge guy. We still won all 5 games or whatever we played, no real thanks to me (put up either 8 or 10 points, but I had a few good steals and some nice rebounds) but I was wearing my school indoor sneakers, which are velcro, and now I have two huge blisters on the bottoms of my feet. Oh happy day
