Weekuendo Rebyuu

I’m currently pretending to be a dumb gaijin and acting like I don’t know there is a school meeting occurring in the gym. Hey, if the tea lady and kyushoku lady don’t need to attend, neither do I ;) I don’t give a shit about bike safety! (as will be evident later in this post) The moral of the story is: don’t schedule an assembly during Jeff’s period off.

So, instead I will blog! I KINDA did stuff this weekend, which is more than I could say the last two weeks. Well, drinking, eating and watching TV count as doing stuff, right? Anyway! So, on Friday Ann, Cindy and I met up with Emily in Tatebayashi for dinner at a tabehoudai (all-you-can-eat) place. Um, needless to say, we got our money’s worth! It was a thank you meal to Emily for always driving us places….thanks, Emily!!! And, let’s face it, it was an excuse to eat, muahahaha.

Saturday morning, the fucking mail lady woke me up at 9:30 in the morning! GAH! I answered the door, not able to speak any language at that hour, and she was like “Ah, yes, on weekends people like to sleep in and take it easy, eh?” I was like “YES WE DO NOW GIVE ME MY FUCKING PACKAGE.” Actually what I actually said was “unn lxslkjweroiuwerflksjsdfks arigatou” *door slam* Anyway, it was good, as I had to clean up a bit before Cindy, Jenny and Ann came over for a Brokeback Mountain viewing! IT WAS SO GOOD. I need to watch it again! The only bad thing was that the copy was a little quiet, and they mutter as it is in that movie, so we had to rewind a few times to see what the hell they were saying. Still, so good! Great acting and great directing…..sooooo good. Might I say, I am disturbed that I saw The Princess Diaries’ girl’s boobs. That isn’t right. Same with Michelle Williams’, for that matter. But, come on! Princess Diaries! Boobs! No! Anyway, the movie was amazing.

We then went to this Ota International dinner thing in Ota (hmm, imagine that) and FINALLY saw Veronica, Angie and others. I hadn’t seen them in a million years, so it was nice to finally hang out with them a bit. The event itself was making me very nervous at first, as it looked like a possible English leech convention, but we somehow came away without any full-on attacks, for which I was very grateful. Plus I do believe our table drank the entire party’s booze, as only gaijin can do.

After the dinner, some of us headed out for karaoke at the usual place. We are going to have to find a new usual place, as they raised the price for the good nomihoudai menu. The drinks on the cheaper one are fucking nasty, yo. Hrm. I had walked to the eki with the girls, so I didn’t have my usual bike to bike back on. However, I had my extra bike at the station from when Cindy rode it there like a month and a half ago (yay for safe Japan!). So, drunk Jeff rode the already-too-small bike home with the seat at Cindy’s height. It was, er, interesting! Thank god there weren’t any cars on the road, as I was all over the damn place!

Sunday was the usual relaxing day…talked to Eduardo (yay!), talked to my parents, watched lots of TV, and did grocery shopping. Yes, I lead a thrilling life. Oh, I saw Good Night, and Good Luck and it was good. Very interesting and very appropriate for the current political climate, as well as the laziness found in modern journalism. I didn’t realize George Clooney would be such a good director; I was impressed!

And yep, that’s my weekend. Hey, the meeting just ended and no one asked where I was. Yay for not being important! Time to read some Harry Potter and ignore everyone :)
