Busy as a Bee

This weekend was very busy! On Tuesday I had a "hot date" and we went to this cool place in Osaka that has bowling, karaoke, tons of free videogames, pool, air hockey, you name it all for about ¥600 per hour. Pretty sweet! I actually broke 100 with my bowling score too, which is pretty rare since I'm such a crap bowler. Yee ha!

Then on Wednesday I went to my volunteering in the morning, hung out with the kids, and managed to get my hand scraped up trying to get a citron down from a tree for Ma-kun. After that I met my ex-Nihongo Salon teacher Yoko at Gusto to help her with the English version of a speech she's doing for NHK radio and she gave me some persimmons and some fried maple leaves (I'm kinda scared to eat them).

Then I went down to Eishuu to hang out for a while and read my latest Agatha Christie, and have some Omu-raisu. It was kinda cool, beause apparently my friend Hana has taken up the Sanshin (which is like an Okinawan version of the shamisen) and she and another friend of hers were practicing at the counter; Silent Night of all things!

Finally I got home, whereupon I got an invitation from Non-chan to come play Mah-Jong, which I did until a little past 3 in the morning. I didn't win anything, but I only lost about 5 bucks, so it seems that my slump is slowly coming to an end...

Goog Morninger!

'Tis the Season

Time to start putting up the old Christmas Decorations arond the house! I wish I could be back home for Christmas and the awesome hard-core decorations that my Mom is sure to be putting up, especially the frickin' excellent nativity scene complete with geese and camels and what-not, but I'll have to content myself with a few smiling Santas and snowmen made out of felt. Oh well...

P.S. Mom if you're reading this please, please, please, please, please, send me some decoration cookies this year! They would make my Christmas!

My friend, Anna Graham

The other day for some reason I can no longer recall, Bec and I were fooling around feeding the names of people we know into an anagram generator and laughing at the results.
