Day to the night

1:04am JST Monday 19 January 2004

Ummmm

Today janette cooked me french toast. Mmmmmm.

Work included two lessons with Takako my Aries mate. She's slowly slipping in status though; she seems to be getting worse or maybe staying the same and the interest is wearing off.

I gave LU 1 to a woman after her second class. She met the LU criteria by a mile; I think she must have just been not warmed up when Benny LCed her into 7A. He said she needed to work on past perfect, so we worked on that and she crushed it, asking and answering questions in that form no probs. Bang LU.

Ali wasn't willing to LU her all the way, but it's cool. I think she'll rock out of 7A super fast.

Ali and I did give LU 1 and 2 respectively to a student who had been in 7C. He was with a low student in my class, but he did rather well even so.

Kiyomi, who I randomly saw in Starbucks on Friday started warmup with "the day before yesterday I met Rob in Starbucks," and I was like, eep and corrected her usage of the word "met." explained the meaning of "I saw Rob in Starbucks."

After work I met janette and Fred at KQ station. I saw them and greeted them from behind by simultaneously bonking the insides of all four of their knees to surprise them. mu wa ha

We wandered about Kawasaki area, where I showed them my Nova building, Cinecitta, the game center, Tuk Tuk where I asked for "something おもしろい (interesting)" for dinner (and where the waitress accidentally dumped a glass of ice water on my leg).

janette really enjoyed the lighted glass tower above Cinettita, and the water fountain performance (tune of "Swing Swing Swing" by Glen Miller janette says).

We went down into the game center where we marveled at the complexity of some of the gambling games, and the apparent trancelike compulsion of the people playing them. I'm like, dude; it's not that interesting as I wondered what I was missing.
