friday night's show. rough roll.

choconutsu. first and last show. they were so cute and nervous and wonderful.


it was so packed! we were sweaty!


tomodachi. tomo's voice kills me. and the adachis. damn!


jason and tomo singing a sheryl crow/kid rock duet.

yamagata-shi. looking south from the 24th floor of kajo central. just after we ate a chinese dinner. my first time eating shark fin. and yonezawa beef.

"im looking in on the good life"

sagae. i teach here now on wednesdays. while i was waiting for jason to pick me up this non-japanese man on a tricycle-like bike with a big back basket looked just as shocked to see me as i him and said, "hello!" i didnt say anything of course. i was off my rocker. other gaijin. what a strange sight!


taiki. he drew a big picture of doraemon. we were translating our names.

jason's leaving soon. i have so much of his stuff that it kind of feels like we're moving in together. kinda. but, when packing and cleaning and sorting and scheming, we dont fight. i usually fight. and get sulky. moving sucks. but all the new furniture to abuse for the next 4 months! oh yes!
