Good morning

11:00am JST Saturday 5 September 2009 (day 14409)

This morning after sleeping in to about 9am, we enjoyed yummy omelets cooked by Mary of Mike & Mary, then lazed around a bit until I remmebered I needed to look for Michael (from I-group)'s book that he loaned me. Noticed that the shed was missing the medium length surfboard, so I assumed Soness's neighbor had taken it be be repaired (long story). That gave me a bit easier time going in to grab a box of books to search for the book.

The book wasn't in the box I pulled out, so I was about to go back and Soness's neighbor came by to take the long board out of the shed as well! Perfect timing to go in there and get the other box of books, and in that box I found the requested book. Nice!

I dunno what exactly was decided about the longboard, but he confirmed the m-size board was being repaired.

12:03pm JST

Headed to Shibuya now to meet JC, then Lina for their first French lesson. Mike and Mary are going to Akihabara, then other places, and will meet me at exit 13 to visit The Pink Cow tonight. Yay!

Lina and JC first meeting

Most excellent. Lina and JC are now embarking on their sample French lesson for Lina, and seems like everything will be great for them. They're both fluent in English and JCs Japanese seems quite great; I'm sure they'll by just fine.

Lina shopping

Just now at The Pink Cow after wandering through a new store called Opening Ceremony. Lina is a clothes designer, and wanted to check it out; I had nothin' much going on so I went with her. She's quite an interesting character in terms of her upbringing: 13 years in Japan, and then in the US until after university, and now back in Japan. Her English seems fluently flawless, and it's actually her Japanese that has suffered a bit. Her boss was like, "why are you learning French? You need to learn Japanese、だね" hahahaha ah well.

We covered most of the gamut of topics, from hobbies to programming, and a lot about PB and Francois. She suggested I put an ad in Craig's List to get an equivalent rabbit. Genius!! I'm going to do that tonight.
