Never could get the hang of
I watch the sports news on TV here all the time, which means I get to see some funny things. Like random interviews with that Matsuzaka kid all the time, and Ichiro's stubble at a batting cage, and whatever. But just now I got to see the BIG NEWS that Ishikawa Ryo, the 16-year-old golf sensation, decided to GO PRO. It was topped off with him saying in English, "I would like to win the Masters." (I think he's going to go play in some big event in Australia.) And my first thought was "Wow, his pronunciation is pretty good. I wonder if he could do Sprint 5 or 6?"
The other problem is that the sports news all show the rookie kids practicing at the minor league baseball stadiums in the area, which sort of ruins my idea to go exploring and find more of them this weekend. Well, I mean, I could, but my guess is it'd be awfully hard to sneak into the dugouts with, you know, real players working out there. (Maybe I'll go stalk the Fighters event in Kamagaya that I missed the deadline to apply for. Not.)
Anyway, today was supposed to be my BIG AWFUL DAY but overall I got through it really well. I was the only person in the building and of course today several people came by during my lessons -- the guy fixing the copy machine, a guy replacing the front rug, the credit card people, a person interested in finding out more about GEOS, etc. But I had classes all day so it was hard to do much about anything. Classes went pretty well though overall.
Since I couldn't really leave the building all day though (I did leave for about 4 minutes at one point for a real emergency -- we were almost out of toilet paper so I had to go buy some at Matsukiyo), I pretty much only ate bakery food for lunch, and then didn't eat anything all day, so by 10:30pm when I finally left, I was really ravenous, and went to McDonald's. I guess I've been eating pretty poorly for the last week or two and really should get back to some better habits. Or more like, I need it to become warmer out so I can do more bike riding, dammit!
