i can`t believe it`s Monday again already!! where does the time go?! what happennnnnnnnned these past two weeks? hhmmm.... let`s see...
Curse of the Tech begone! i played Tuesday before last at Zerro again and it was awesome! there weren`t many people in the bar, but that`s why i practice on Tuesdays. and i played for three and a half hours! i just kept putting on another record and didn`t stop until i`d played everything in the bag. lots of fun! and thanks to Anthony and Kousuke for being suportive (and for a couple beer and a pizza!).
Wednesday i was finally able to say with certainty that i was over my throat cold or whatever the heck it was that made me lose my voice last week. it was a long time in leaving. one of the disadvantages to working in a little room with near strangers...
Thursday went out for drinks with Tony and had a good time at Captain Kangaroo. after a short inner debate i caught the last train home, which was definitely the "smart choice." didn`t want to piss of the missus or get myself sick again.
Friday was a chill day at work and an early night (after watching Lost, of course).
Saturday morning my problem child Taiga (the ADHD kid i teach every Saturday morning) was kind enough to remind the other students and i that bathing is important... by showering us in his spit. lovely. just how i want my day to start. but Saturday night was good. since Hallowe`en is on a Tuesday, all the clubs and bars had their Hallowe`en parties on the 28th. good times. we went to Club Opium, which i`d never been to before, for the SWASS party. lots of costumes and good music and dancing. Ulala and i wore the same costumes as last year sincc they were expensive and we really liked them. Ulala was super-cute in her bright orange pumpkin-Go-Go-girl outfit and i got lots of compliments on my back-less suit and "yakuza shirt". enjoy the pictures!
Saturday was also my three-year anniversary in Japan. yup. three years. wow. more on that later... maybe.
Sunday was chill. so chill that i don`t remember it.
Monday i had an eye doctor appointment (6000yen so the nurse can do 10 minutes of "testing" and tell me my eyes are the same as they were six months ago!! argh!) and then went to CostCo with Tony. sweet sweet CostCo, where everything is HUGE! i bought a massive jar of peanut butter, a case of Heineken, a case of Shark energy drink, and a printer. yes, you read that last one correctly. i bought a printer. a Hewlett-Packard scanner/printer/copier all-in-one. and it cost less than a hundred Canadian dollars!! how did i get all this home? through the magic of 500yen delivery! sweet sweet CostCo...
And Happy (belated) Halloween!! on the 31st i went to lunch with a good friend who has recently undergone somewhat of a romantic trauma. i`ll spare you the details (though i know you want them) and say simply that he is an impressive man for being able to handle it as well as he has.
then the rest of the week flew past in a blur of work and... work. come weekend time and another fun Saturday out and Sunday chilling. finally watched The 40 Year Old Virgin and found it to be much funnier than i had expected. and it`s good to see Canadian Seth Rogen doing well.
and tomorrow its back to work. i`m sure i`ll blink and it will be the weekend again. i can`t believe how fast time seems to be going. i say that a lot but its because its true. it continues to amaze me!
