Yo!
K, So yah…its been a while since ive updated, again. Im lazy. We go through this EVERY time, so lets just skip it this time around.
Things have been good here since the last time I updated, for the most part. I got sick for the first time since I came to Japan. It wasnt the swine flu, dont worry. I know all the gals were feinting just thinking that I might have been in danger. Fear not fair maidens, it was but a mere cold. A whole lot of sneezing and more nose blowing than I would really like to comment on. I also drank so much orange juice that I think I may have changed the ordering patterns of the convenience store around the corner. I was drinking like 8 bottles a day. It was stupid. I think i actually changed colour a little!
What else has happened since the last post…?
Oh yah, the typhoon. Kinda a let down. We were told that we wouldnt be going in to work until 4. Got called at 11 to go in at the regular time, 1. That was kinda sad, and wet. I got nicely soaked on the way to work. I…heh…rode my bike. Bike in one hand, umbrella in the other, what an adventure. I actually got stopped midway across the road one time because the wind was blowing so hard that I couldnt go forward. My umbrella is a beast though. it survived the outing and continues to protect me to this day!
My iPod headphones are pretty much dead. the left one has no sound =(. Im a sad panda cause its so damn expensive to replace those things. If i could afford it, id buy a friggin iTouch, those things are gorgeous. One of my students has one and im so jealous.
Oh…FFXIII. Damn that thing is a tease. It comes out on Friday here…and I cant play it. I have neither a PS3 nor the ability to read Japanese heh. It looks so pretty though T_T. I feel like its the end of an era. An FF game that I wont be playing. I guess its time for me to finally grow up. Btw, to all you people who are gonna play it. I HATE YOU. DIAF! Yah, that means YOU Greg! >_<//
We had a Halloween party at work and had almost 40 people there. Most people wore costumes and there were a few really great ones. I wish I could post the pics of them, but I cant. I can however post the pic of my costume, I was pretty happy with it. I put glow sticks in the head so make it all…well…glowey. I was pretty happy with the effect. The eerie green cant be seen in the pic, but when the lights were low…oh ho ho!
Im so cool huh? No “Tune in Tokyo” jokes please =_=.
Honestly, I could hardly see. No glasses under that getup.
Oh, I did see a couple of movies id like to mention.
This Is It. The Michael Jackson movie. It was actually really great. That would have been a fantastic show. It was kinda sad thinking about the extras and what losing MJ just days before the opening of the concert would do to their lives. If you go see it (and you should) make sure you check out the guitar chick. She is FRIGGIN AMAZING. That girl can rock. Seriously, shes got mad skillz.
Drag Me to Hell. The new Raimi movie. Very funny. Lots of things jumping out at you for startle points. Well, maybe “very funny” isnt the best way to describe it. Its in the same “style” of Army of Darkness, except there is like..a plot..and stuff. Couple recurring gags (no pun intended) are pretty humourous. Worth seeing.
Gonna go see the new Tarantino movie next week or the week after. It should also be good. Oh, and did you guys see the preview for Ong-Bak 2. New Tony Jaa movie. Rock on!
Oh crap, did “Men who Stare at Goats” come out in NA yet? I wanted to see that really badly, but I dont know if it will come out here. If anybody actually reads this…could you let me know.
Speaking of reading this, it was actually a student today who mentioned reading my blog that prompted me to update it. I felt guilty. This is such a bad example of English. Almost makes me feel guilty, but I am way too lazy to properly punctuate and spell check everything. Takes too much work.
I think thats enough typing for now. Im sure I have something else to say, but I cant remember what it is. Ill try to update again soon. I know I keep saying that, but its bound to happen eventually…right?
Goats came out a couple weeks ago. I havn’t seen it yet, but then I haven’t seen many movies at all lately. I’ve been crazy busy here lately. I think I either work or have a conference call every night this week (including Saturday!) and I work Saturday morning.
Saw the Ong Bak 2 trailer, it looks great.
Bigby is 75 lbs now . He’s petty good. Still afraid of the middle of the floor.
Surprised your umbrella lasted. The ones here seem to be made of aluminum and any day you get rain in Saint John you also get a ton of wind. Oh, speaking of which, we’ve had a lot of flooding here lately! We got 100mm of rain a couple weekends ago and the East Side was in rough shape. Even the 3 Mile, which just completed some really sweet renos (and you now need to be 25 to get in!) ended up flooded. It’s been crazy.
East side is nuts. Costco should be open in January. Indigo… was that open when you left?
What else… Steve and Tara’s wedding was beautiful. We all thought of you! We even did the Time Warp in your honor!
FFXIII won’t be here until March. Just think though, when you get back, it will be a Greatest Hits title and you can save some money. Not sure if I’ll have time to play it in March anyway. Currently playing Rachet & Clank Future: A Crank in Time for the PS3.
Weather has been really nice here. Wonderfully sunny. Just got back from a nice walk with the dog at lunch.
The girls were only feinting to get their sneak attack damage on their next attack. If they were really emotionally overwhelmed by your condition at the time, they may have fainted, but instead obviously decided to take advantage of your weakness and attempt to end you.
Hah you know. I was looking at that word and asking myself what was wrong with it. too much gaming and I cant remember how to spell the other versions of words. Some teacher I am! Thanks for clearing that up for me Tony. Luckily, im higher lvl than them, so no sneak attack damage!
