Just a normal Friday?
Dude, I passed two level 28 songs on Pop'n'Music tonight, one sight-read even. Does that mean I'm actually getting better? Not really. But who knows. Playing every day after work certainly can't hurt. I also got a stuffed penguin out of a UFO catcher but I was annoyed because I wasted like 600 yen trying to get an An-Pan Man and couldn't. Grrrr. I know, I'm supposed to have quit the UFOs, but... it's fun bringing them to GEOS and displaying them.
(Oh, yeah, so I was in Kawaguchi after work. Also went to Ichibanya, where I have decided I have officially graduated from amakuchi curry, because it's TOO mild for me now. Mmmm, curry.)
Today's kids' class involved a review of the "Go straight!" "Turn right!" "Turn left!" stuff. So this time I managed to get my kids to actually leave my classroom and go around our school in a choo-choo train, yelling out directions to go in. Which resulted in the following:
- my kids directed us to the manager's office and instructed me to give a book to Eri
- they directed me to sit down behind the front desk
- they tried to direct me into the men's bathroom but I was like "ok NO"
- they directed us into Eri's classroom and proceeded to run around looking at everything in there
- they directed all of us into the uketsuke room... and looked around the books. I walked out, then the girls walked out and slammed the door on the boy who was still sitting in the interviewing seat
- from the lobby, the boy directed me back towards the office... "turn right... go straight... go straight... okay... go go go... ima kaette! teacher BYE BYE!!!" and then they all ran back to my classroom and shut the door on me.
The last one was pretty funny. Before class I'd also been reviewing it and so I was riding around the lobby on my rolly-chair with the boy, who was showing off to his older brother how he could make his teacher drive him around the school.
All told it wasn't too bad a class. They played a vocabulary dice-rolling game I'd prepared before class for a while, and we did the town map again with all the crazy buildings, and they insisted on drawing traffic lights and bus stops and all kinds of crazy things on it for me. I'm really amazed by how much they like to draw. I don't remember liking to draw this much when I was 9 years old...?
Oh yeah, one of my kids wanted to know how to say "Oshirikajiri-mushi" in English and I pretended not to understand her.
The rest of my classes went pretty well too. Some lessons are just more fun than others, I guess.
"I had off day today, because I have to work for the weekend."
"Oh no! Why?"
"We always work on the 23rd of every month. It is, uhh..." [consults dictionary]
"Shimebi?"
"Yeah, shimebi... how do you say in English?"
"I have no idea."
"...wait a minute, how do you know shimebi?"
At lunch at Heiroku, originally the sushi chef that hates me was up there, but he switched to an older guy I'd never seen before after about 10 minutes. I needed to get a green plate in order to use the one-free-coupon, so I ordered egg sushi. The chef was like, "Tamago wo chumon kyakusama...?" and I said, "Hai." and he smiled and was like "Egg!" Eri and I were like "Oh! Very good English!" Hehe.
Also the weather is FANTASTIC right now. It went up to like 15 degrees C today. It's supposed to do so again tomorrow, and of course I'll be stuck at work, and then during the weekend it'll only go up to like 9 or 10. Sigh. It would have been such perfect bike-riding weather...

I'm not making that up. It's a current popular children's cartoon character. Yes, it really does bite people's rear ends, and that makes them happy. Or something.
