say what?

yesterday in class with the 1st years I had a couple minutes where I was having them ask me different questions using "do you play / do you like?"

so one of the students proceedes to ask me "do you like pornography?" i start trying to stifle laughter and ask him to repeat it which he does. he was saying it a little weird and I knew he was trying to say "porno-graffiti", a popular japanese rock band.

my co-teacher looked like she was going to have a heart-attack for a couple seconds there. bwahah.

lol

mom and pete are home now, i think. I hope all is well, they were a bit behind schedule due to missing the connection in Chicago.

back to school, weather is nice today.

you can read up and catch pix on mom's blog she did. Besides, i think it'll be nice to have a fresh view of japan talking about it. ;)

i'm really only updating becuase of this diary entry from a student today:

I like English.
But I can't English.
I am hard!
Do you like English very much?


that is all.

bwahah

I know I know. still been a couple of weeks.

Mom and pete come tomorrow! Wah! I'm so excited!

I'm checking diaries at school, check out this entry:

How are you today? I was tired. Today I was weed. At playground. Do you like weed? I don't like weed...


obviously the kid was talking about weeding. but still. lulz.

this last weekend i went out for nepalese food and bowling and saturday with friends. it was a great time, and i got to meet new people.

sunday I went up to meet friends again and cooked mexican food. nom nom nom.

Today is day 9 of my 'lemonade detox'. I'm not following it to the letter (as you're only supposed to drink the lemonade the entire time, but i can't get outta school lunch.)

it's been going quite well! i feel lots healthier and have even lost some weight! it's great! :)

friday i went out for yakiniku (japanese bbq) with one of my students dad. he insisted to pay, and we got all you can eat / drink which was fantastic. it was sooo good. we went to karaoke afterwards too, and i had made sure to do plenty of drinking to get through the karaoke as this guy just assumes that i know every english song. :P

'do you know the carpenters?'
'no'
'do you know this song by the carpenters?'
'i don't know the carpenters.'
'lets sing this song by the carpenters.....why aren't you singing?'


i also went to school on saturday as i had volunteered to use it as leverage to let mom and pete come to elem on the 19th. unfortunately i had to miss the party up in nagano then. boo. oh well.
