I am now VERY addicted. I hate you both. *goes to borrow Nodame manga*
Now the squee level of girliness will bloom endlessly as everything else in my life falls by the wayside.
Now for a Haiku!

Kyudo and Mosquitoe clouds
Last week I started up kyudo, the art of archery, where you follow super strict rules and do your best to act very very VERY cool. My supervisor gave me instructions to the place and at the time there was a particularly fast mosquito flying around the room. Nemoto sensei killed it and told me that the black and white stripped mosquitoes are the ( Read more... ) -
Apr. 20 Traffic Jams and Photo Whoring
The following rant is based on a 2 hr traffic jam, in a stuffy van, full of church people 4 Japanese, and 2 foreigners including me. We are going to see the most famous Cherry Tree in all of Fukushima. Please to not read if you are easily offended by how insanely mean I am.

My Hong Kong trip and 3 lovestories
There was a lot of pain when I came back, the burden of having so many people in the hospital, ironically the same hospital my granny was in...and not just strangers but relatives. As for my granny, we could only go in two by two from 6-8pm because of hospital restrictions from the Avian flu scares and another deadly flu going on.
My grandma had 4 ( Read more... ) -

Sept 22: Unaware in my Underware
I wake up in my underwear, tired, and not really expecting to go to Iwaki, or Aizu for a 70’s themed party, or a Samurai festival because I’d have no place to crash. Joyce and most other Iwaki ALTs have been invited back to their host families and wouldn’t be in town to house me. Not seeing Tammy was another dampener that made me want to stay in ( Read more... ) -
Waterboyz
So, I was feeling a bit gloomy having spent the worst birthday of my life, alone, trapped in a paper house, full of bugs and humid heat. I was also feeling jealous of the Junior High JETS who got to go to Aizu for a short homestay/ language program. The Senior High teachers, such as myself do not get to go because we are hired by the prefecture/ken ( Read more... )
