トランプ
Saturday, August 2nd, 2008written by Electra
Day before yesterday, Roy and I went to Tokyu Hands (a sort of hobby/ craft/ nongrocery-store goods store) to see if we could find poker chips of a suitable weight and size. Roy has been playing poker with a group of other ALTs and local friends for months now, so I figured [...]
Pizza online
Thursday, July 24th, 2008I just ordered pizza from an online form, and it will be delivered within half an hour. It cost about $25 for the whole order, which is a half-and-half pizza (1/2 is “Fresh Basil Italiana with peppered ham, basil, diced tomato, apple-wood smoked bacon, Italian style sausage, fresh mushrooms, green peppers, black pepper, [...]
有感地震 An earthquake large enough to feel
Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008written by Electra
So I happened to be awake at 12:30-ish tonight to suddenly notice our 団地 building wobbling. It felt kinda wiggly, as if it were being shaken by the wind. The wind has been strong lately…
But our giant projects building (← see photo to left) doesn’t wobble in the wind.
Sure enough, when [...]
Golden Week 誕生日
Monday, May 5th, 2008May 5 is my birthday. That’s 誕生日 in Japanese. So yesterday I celebrated it, mostly with Roy but then with friends in the evening. Luckily, it is on a big holiday here in Japan — 子供の日 — which is in the midst of a large cluster of consecutive holidays. Those are Japanese [...]
プリクラ
Sunday, April 13th, 2008Electra has (unfortunately?) become quite enamored with プリクラ. Luckily, Roy and her other friends go along with it.
Above is Electra and her friend Haruka. Haruka is adorably sweet! This プリクラ was taken after we sang at a カラオケ館 called “Karaoke Mash!”, where I sang lots of Queen, The Beatles, and some Disney. [...]
日本の卒業式はすごーい！
Thursday, March 13th, 2008日本の卒業式はすごいだものよ！ Japanese graduation ceremonies are freakin’ amazing!
Today I got to watch the graduation ceremony for the middle school I work at. (What’s funny is that the school term isn’t over yet. The 2nd years and 1st years still have 1.5 more weeks!) Its pretty amazing, and if I hadn’t been terribly shy (つまり/in [...]
まま働いています。
Saturday, February 16th, 2008(PreS. You can hover over the Japanese characters for a romanji-ization.)
So, much to the disappointment I’m sure of our friends back in the ‘States who desparately miss us and want us to come back, we have decided to recontract for another year. Or rather, a long discussion with our bank accounts and various other [...]
Electra is dancy dancy.
Thursday, February 14th, 2008So, we have no pictures because Roy is too enamored with watching me to take them, and the folks who did take some photos haven’t shared yet, but….
To make a long story medium-short:
A new Cuban restaurant recently opened up in Tanuki-Kouji (the covered “arcade”/large-alley of youthful, fairly red-light district of Susukino) and the owner (a [...]
奇麗な女ですね!
Saturday, January 26th, 2008Remember Electra’s post about buying a kimono? Well here it is!
This picture was taken at Sagara-sensei’s house on 正月 (Shougatsu — New Year’s.) Specifically, this was what we call New Year’s Eve (Shougatsu seems to be 3 days so far as I can tell.) That night, we went to the shrine near Horohirabashi and did [...]
