Holy snaps!

This one is pretty funny:

Ah cripes.

I've just spent all this time watching David Blaine videos. I take the amazement of the people as proof that the shiznit is real. Some of it is simple sleight of hand or sleight of chicken head, but some of that is just, like,... wow.

And just for the record, the two I put above aren't even the good ones. How about taking the girls teeth out? And she was a cutie!

Okay, bedtime for sure. Damn.

今日、授業ではかわいい女の人二人に会った。彼女は日本語で今日のレッスンが分かるけど、英語であまり できなかった。だから今日の言葉全部を書くと覚えると思った。私も、かな。

私は楽器がひけない。空手もできない。

うれしいなぜなら、やくざが楽器を貸してくれたし、象のセータを編めたから。

Work

9:48am JST Saturday 25 November 2006 (day 13394)

Had to deliberately drag my butt outta bed this morning, but ended up actually getting the early train in both Sakurashinmachi and Shibuya, the express train from Shibuya leaves a lot later than the train I took, but arrived just 2 minutes after mine. I argued in my head it was worth having taken the slow train because I got to sleep decently on the train, and I was relaxedly on time.

On break now. Just before my last break I had Akiko (!) , who I had previously met at Shibuya, so I was confused as to why I recognized her though my name was not on the lesson record page of her file.

She speaks French better than she speaks English, so occassionally French responses come first. Per example, for example. That discussion helped me remember that what we had talked about in Shibuya. I had said I would have trouble *not* trying to toss in some French words, not that I know many, but would do my best to stay in English mode.

Today I told her about Richard the Kiwi in Kobe, who's ペラペラ in Japanese, and has apparently been fluent in French, given that he was practicing French with Pia's (?) friend Stephanie (?) when Hide and I were individually invited to her house for the fabulous free dinner back during my TJ Bike adventure.

After said break, I had Chika and Mari (sp), who I "barked at for not knowing what they are doing nor why they are here." Today I made them practice 何回 a thing until they memorized it, but after it became apparent they couldn't memorize it, I switched to just easier parts of the grammar: "Francois is bigger than Jamie's clock," and (upon her invitation:) "Michiko is the cutest person in this room."
