I hate the Japanese summer
Good evening.
I think I bored myself with my last blog post. I've not got much more to say because I'd just complain about how ill I am and how I hate every single day of this season. Guess how many mosquito bits I have on one toe? That's right... on one TOE I have three bloody bites.
Guess how I've been entertaining myself tonight? All my thousand of pounds worth of technology? Nah... sudoku. I've been playing away like a madman and I'm actually looking forward to work tomorrow because I can play as much as I want.
I spent about £70 on a frisbee tournament this weekend up in Osaka which I didn't attend because I was still ill. Instead I watched about half a dozen films that I 'acquired' off the internet. I watched the twin films about Iwo Jima which were directed by Clint Eastwood. 'Flags of our Fathers' was crap and rolled out the same old yanky doodle rubbish. The second one, 'Letters From Iwo Jima' was from the Japanese perspective and was much better. I might ask my eikaiwa if they've seen them... get a bit of awkward conversation flowing.
What else?
Yer... I'm the only foeigner in town now because my friend Noah naffed off back home to America on holiday. I'm dead jealous actually as I would really like to leave for mine right now. Also, I passed my JET Beginner's Language Course! Wooo..... nah it's not impressive and I did all the tests in one week. I somehow got forced into signing up for the next course because I didn't want to explain to my supervisor in Japanese that I didn't want to do it. I need to get a driving license this week too... it's so much fun not understanding anything.
I'm aff tae my bed. Goodnight

You have a year in Japan and your love is Suduko! Will you be posting about your 'tourist' trip back home?
After reading about you being ill and bedridden and not being able to 'play and go out' on the weekends, I thought I might direct you to a website where you can watch rather than download: http://www.surfthechannel.com
Have fun talking to yourself or the hamster.
Hello anonymous.
I'm stuck in work all week with nothing to do so I'm developing a new love of simple games. I've moved onto computer chess now. I really should study the language. Aye, I will blog about my holiday.
Cheers for the link... person.
