Lazy Day

2:39pm ART Tuesday 21 February 2006

Today has been super lazy. Upstairs with gorgeous view of the Patagonia fiords and a big-ass glaciers, I have been chatting, studying and writing in Japanese. Pretty good practice for me.

I'm pretty way behind in transcribing what I've written in Japanese to here... Basically the entire voyage worth, I believe.

Up to this point, Carla has been the winner for laziest day. She went upstairs, ate with her students, went 10 meters to the back deck and sat for a couple hours, went 10 meters to the other side of the back deck and chatted for an hour, came 10 meters back inside for lunch, and went back to the back deck for about 2 hours and has just come back to her room.

Seven hours of just eating and talking within about 300 square meters.

I didn't do a whole lot more, but my range was larger: I went to the Sunshine Bar to study for a bit, after I heard the jacuzzi was open, and visualized finding Isabel there so I could kill her in the 007 game.

She wasn't there, though.

Part of my study was the 地球ー宇宙 book that I bought with Hitomi some year ago or so. It's full of ふりがな to help me read the kanji.

Last night Aya asked me if I could count in Japanese. I was like, "yeah; can you??" and she's like, "of course; I am Japanese." So I basically challenged her to count higher than I could. She knew the word for 1,0000,0000,0000, which I didn't know, so she won. She didn't know the next one, though, so I told her it was her homework.

I learned it before she did, though. 京（けい）= 1,0000,0000,0000,0000.

afternoon

5:52pm ART Tuesday 21 February 2006

Worked on the Praise You dance in Sunshine Bar, and I almost got an opportunity to kill Isabel, but she didn't touch the spa. Doeth!

The dance is doable; I think we'll be able to kick it tonight. After karaoke from 10pm to midnight.

Worked on video project some today; they have gotten a pretty solid (?) script and scenes set up for Francois' debut film performance. The first scene we'll film will be tomorrow in the laundry room; Francois needs a bath.

amazing Kim Chahen

9:46pm ART Tuesday 21 February 2006

Kim Chahen's crazy mad skills were crazy mad cold dope awesome tonight. Most amazing were his yoyo shenanigans, which in a way, were even cooler than with the diablos. They seemed to be doing even more impossible stuff than the diablos did. Wow wow wow wow. Most amazing was vertical yoyoing and him doing somersaults while yoyoing.

And he was doing some phat balancing while on this rocking ship. Yowzas!

dinner

9:58pm ART Tuesday 21 February 2006

I invited 左貴 to dinner tonight but she declined. Happened to sit near 玲 but at a different table. We happened to both get up at the same time and I left and she sat where I had been sitting, and talked to peeps who were there.

Sometimes I feel so inept at conversation, so engrossed in my own thoughts, so me-centric that it's just embarassingly disabling in normal life just to have a fucking conversation. Why can't I just relax and talk to people about things?

karaoke

12:38am ART Wednesday 22 February 2006

People had fun at karaoke tonight. I left at 11:30 because it was all stinky-smokey, giving me a headache, plus there were no songs I really wanted to sing, and there was a queue of songs long enough that it filled the rest of the remaining time. And I wanted to leave.

There were no Eminem and no Beastie Boys songs available. That sucks. In the shower a bit ago I did Business and Rabbit Run.

And washed the disgusting smoke out of my clothes.

Tomorrow is classtime again. 8am start.
