New Guilty Pleasure

I have found a new guilty pleasure website....Dlisted. Thanks to it, I have found this awful, awful, awful, terrifying pic of white trash Britney (you really need to click on it and see the large version to believe it). WTF!

Dude, I am SO into sports

I am watching the big Japan vs. Australia game of the World Cup tonight, if only so that I can talk to everyone about it tomorrow at work. Cindy and I are watching for the same reasons....a mix of boredom, and (more importantly) to look for hot guys! Things that go through Jeff's head during soccer, as E-Mailed to Cindy earlier:

Dude, why is the Japanese national anthem SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO boring and anti-climactic?! Hello, have some exciting ending, please! Bah, it figgers. It also sounds like Andrew Lloyd Weber wrote it.....while asleep.

Ooo, a Japanese guy just had his ass in the air.

Nakata is hot at times....he seems like a TOTAL bitch, tho.

There is another hot player on the Japan team, hmm! Must research later.

I don't like how they keep taking kids out with them at the beginning. it is creepy. Why are kids there?!

The Australian team is not attractive, except for one guy who is okay. Sad!

Ooo, they are huddling. Asses!

What time does school start?

My 3nensei are doing a writing assignment in which they introduce their school (talking about club activities, what subjects they study, etc.). One of the (I thought) easiest questions is “What time does your school begin and end every day?” However, it is sad because NO ONE knows the answer! Everyone has a different time written down! It officially starts at 8:30, as that is when they have their morning meeting, followed by cleaning. However, the first class starts at 9:00, so some people put that. On the other hand, a lot of kids have to be at school FAR too early for club activities (who wants to play baseball at 7 in the morning?!).

Even I don’t know what time school ends! The last class ends at 3:40, but then they have the afternoon meeting that can last a little while, then they have club activities again until 6:30 (after which many kids go to juku (cram school) to study even more….poor kids). So, not only does everyone have a different answer to the question, but some people have sentences like “School begins at 7:00 and ends at 6:30.” Um, that is not natural! Flee, kids, FLEE!

One year ago I became an “adult”….

One year ago I graduated from college! Hmm, weird. It does feel like a year, I think, since I am like a bazillion miles away and have been “working” and stuff. But…I dunno, it’s weird! The wonder of the JET Program is that you feel like you are still in college, but with more money and travel opportunities! Remembering that I graduated reminds me that I have to enter the dreaded real world in the not-too-distant future….hmm, fuck that! Maybe I’ll become a life-long ALT! Hahahahaha. Gross.

Rento!

Thanks to Cindy actually watching Japanese TV (unlike me), I found out yesterday that Rent is coming here in November! Wooooooooooooooooooot! However, I also found out that because of the movie (I assume), people actually know what Rent is now, and tickets are selling like hotcakes (which is strange, since the movie was in like 20 theatres in the whole country)! Not cool! So, after not being able to sleep from excitement (God, I'm such a loser), I woke up early and went to Family Mart today and bought tickets! Woot de woot woot! I am seeing it twice, 'cause I need a double-dose of crack! I'm going on 11/23 by myself (sniff) and then I'm taking Cindy and Ann (Rent virgins!) on the 25th. Yayyyyyyyyyyy! I don't care if it is fake Rent, I need my crack fix, dammit! Woot woot woot!
