emiko lesson

10:49pm JST Wednesday 27 January 2010 (day 14553)

Emiko and I had our second karaoke lesson tonight. Had one some months ago; perhaps October or before. Today we were in room 708 of a place up on 道玄坂. Sang 1.5 hours of English songs and then switched to Japanese for the "only one" song by Smap, "島唄" by someone, and "ペッパーけいぶ" by Pink Lady. I might enjoy learning those a bit more, though it would take a lot more to sing them well.

Before that, I stuck with old favorites of Eminem and Nas and "Be Our Guest," plus Madonna medly, and tried a couple songs I had never seen/heard/sang before by artists I had never seen/heard before. They went vaguely well. I guess.

We went to have sushi, and got 1 plate eaten and two more ordered before a guy started smokin' right beside us. I was like, "dat's it I'm outta here," and we left. Went across the street to _Thanks Nature_, a delicous smokeless option for healthy food. After having a quiche each, we looked at the どらえもん book she loaned me and she helped me finish off the first comic from it. Yay!

We walked through the Mark City (mall) and I dropped her off at Ginza Line before heading down to Shonan Shinjuku Line on which I'm not headed home.

talked to Ami!

Wow! Ami called me!! I definitely miss her and enjoyed chatting with her a bit while on the way home. She said she had seen Jei who also works in Ginza so they chatted a bit. I got Ami's address from her cause I want to send her a sheet from a doggie clothing magazine. It shows a woman and her dog, and labels them ママ and ワンワN, respectively. If it said マミ it would be perfect, but close enough. I'll send that with no letter and no explanation.. or at least that was the plan ,but I couldn't find Ami's adress anywhere in my records. Dang so I had to ask her, but I made her promise not to tell herself, so she pretended to be Yuko for a moment and I asked for Mrs Watanabe's address. Ami broke character, or perhaps expanded her character a bit and asked me to please tell her why I wanted to have her address. I told her "てがみ ”ウィch目案s”レッテr” （半dパペr）部tテャt‘sのtクゥイてあ鞍手。Hッッmウェッlイ‘mのt後員gとw裏て経r亜レッテrか失せテャtウィ ッl炊けロンゲrテャンmy具あらんてえd、”イ’ッl戦d位tとモッロw”

Ah crap. I just wrote a bunch of English while in Japanese mode. (*)

I'm actually writing this while on the train to work the next day, and we *just* went under the bridge where Ami and I said our last goodbye, with tears.

While speaking with her, I was like, "yeah why don't we just get back together... this whole idea of perfect relationship is probably crap; I can spend my whole life looking for the perfect parner, etc etc and then I was like, "oh yeah she wants kids. TV, and kids are deal breakers for me. No TV in da house, and no kids at least for now; probably not ever.

(*) cause I still can't see, I'm not going to transcribe it exactly (yet??) but I said something like, "which means letter, (hand paper) but that's not quite right. Anyway, I'm not going to write her a letter cause that would take too long and therefore break my promise to send her something today."
