Packing em' in! 2007-10-11 04:09:00 Well so far about 76 people will be attending the Halloween costume party. Last year was 67 and it was pretty full and we had the extra room. This year the extra room will be used for the Haunted House. With the music and kids and laughing adults I figure for a fun and LOUD Halloween bash!!Meanwhile...October is THE most beautiful month in Yamaguchi-ken!!

The "Cave" 2007-10-15 20:34:00 If you are setting up a Halloween party I highly recommend going to Nafco and getting this black plastic sheeting.

I will post pictures of that after the party.

The definition of "Genki" 2007-10-25 07:12:00 This class is "genki" in every way. Teaching this class is like drinking red bull. It starts out slow and by the end your just flying along. They are like little tornadoes and I just try and guide them.I took a lot of pain killers for my neck today and right now I'm a.....feelin' NO pain! Thank god for the pharmaceutical industry.

The "Daily J" Interview 2007-11-12 00:29:00 After being constantly hounded and harassed by this guy I finally decided I should grant the interview. The restraining order only seemed to anger him further so I was compeled to make this (him) go away!The fact that he paid $400.00 also helped (keep that on the down low).This interview could make him the shining new star of the bloggesphere! No charity donations for me this Christmas season. This interview WAS my donation for the year!Merry Christmas everyone!!Nah,This guy over at The Daily
J is good people and he's trying to improve the state of bloggers in JapanI recommend taking a peak at his site which I have a link to in my sidebar.or click

Thanksgiving in Japan 2007-11-17 15:37:00 There is something very very wrong about waking up before the sun. That's why I only do it once a year. Cooking in a smoker is the best and it takes longer so....there you go.Meanwhile...I think I'm an "inverted vampire" because waking up when it's still dark feels wrong to my core.I will post pics of the party tomorrow.
