Since I had so much fun putting up that video clip yesterday I'm going to put up my absolute favorite one. It is SO cute.. I watch it live everyday.. (I'm not kidding) So watch it now!
've been hooked on these "Minna no uta" videos... they are for preschool aged kids here and they are so cute and catchy.. however there is one in particular I would like to share with you all.. It is called Oppai ga ippai or.. "There are many boobies!" I've decided to translate it so that you can fully enjoy the magic of this song.. and appreciate Japanese culture even more.
I drank from them, and my little sister drank from them but even then my mommys boobies didn't shrink. When she lets me touch them in the bath tub Its like a rubber ball thats lost a little air.
Since I drank from them, and my little sister drank from them She doesn't bring them out anymore, her boobies Was it sweet, I can't remember Even though I know I must have drank from them many times
There are many boobies There are many boobies There are many boobies I'm so happy, I just want to touch them
Even though I drank from them, and my little sister drank from them My mommy's boobies still stayed big. When I poke them with my index finger It surprises me how soft they are.
Since I drank from them, and my little sister drank from them She doesn't bring them out anymore, her boobies When she has another baby, she'll bring them out again - its so mysterious
There are so many boobies (x3) They are so pretty, I love them (repeat)
This kid is well on his way to a lifetime of oogling the gravure magazines at the local convience store!! Good job Japan!
So... I'm back in Japan. It feels like a complete dream, not like the good type of dream but like the weird and woozy state of a non-reality.
I have one more day of orientation in Shinjuku and then its off to the crazy land of Kobe. I am so happy not to be in Tokyo area for my placement it is just so big crazy and crowded. From what I've heard Kobe is a good sized little city. I'll write more once I get there, but for now just wanted to let you all know that I am alive!
Somedays I am really excited about moving back to Japan some days I'm just not.
Today is an off day..
I' really gonna miss it here ;_; this is my hectic schedule
6/27 - head up for my last year of Showa 7/5 - Showa is over 7/11 - Leave for London 7/19 - Come back from London 7/21 - Leave Boston ;_; 8/5 - Leave America ;;_;;
less than 50 more days til departure.
on the plus side my refurbished 6gb blue ipod mini came today. *^^* happy!!!!!! oh and I'm now loving french pop singer ALIZEE.. espicially J'en Ai Marre is stuck in my head nooooo!
current mood: indifferent current music: in my head
I wanna try making some cute ones too.. I think I'd rather take my own lunch to the schools I'm going to be working at since last time I was in Japan I got food poisoning from one of the Kyuushoku (school lunchs)
Apparently where I will be going in Japan is about 25 mins away from Takarazuka. I know there are some fans on my friends list.. is it something that I should go see while I'm there?
Looking at the 10-day forcast and seeing nothing but rain and showers is utterly depressing. I hope like most forecasts this one proves incorrect. I think I will go crazy with just rain after the beautiful summer like weather we had last weekend.
Ok.. I would like a mac. I have been waiting for a while and I think before the end of the summer I would like to get one.
Now I already have a Dell Laptop, which is ok. So I am ambivilent about selling or keeping it depending on what sort of Mac I get.
I am tentativly looking at either an Imac or a Powermac pro. Honestly I don't have too much cash right now, so an Imac is definetly more affordable, but I am moving soon and possibly going over seas and I'm wondering how I would be able to get an Imac over there safetly. I wouldn't mind having a desktop computer. However the powermac pros look delicious, but it is about 600 more than the imac.
So taking into consideration:
I already have a (ok) laptop (which i can sell cheaply ;_; if need be) Money is a bit of an issue, I have the financial means to get an expensive computer I may be moving abroad within the year
I know there are a lot of mac lovers on my friends list so please give me some insight.
To a syrian fancy hamster! She is a dark brownish-black color so I named her Cocoa. She is sooo cute! I got her this weekend and I've been playing with her since then. She bit me really hard on my pinky the first night and she bit Billy yesterday but I think shes getting better. Shes so cute. I definately need to take pictures of her.
Any other hamster owners out there? I really wanna get to the point where I can hold her in my hand but we are just not quite there yet..
Awww I'm so happy to have a new pet!
Oh my job is going well.. its Temp. for now but I have another interview tommorrow. I hope that I get offered his job permanently though! Even though the commute can be a little on the long side.
So... after a miserable night of silence. I brought my ipod to the applestore at Cambridgeside. As I waited foran hour various people came in with their ipod products. Some leaving happy, some leaving sad and depressed. I sat their staring at the blank little screen in my hands. Again I tried to reset it.. but alas it was like giving CPR to a dead man. I sat there wondering whether my harddrive was dead or my battery. Knowing that there would be no happiness in my case. And then, I met Charlie (something or other) I told him my problem and dejectedly handed over the little soul who would no longer breathe its sweet music in my ears. Charlie took it from me and connected it to a mac. I waited.. to hear just how the outcome would be. After 3 minutes he brought back my ipod. To my amazement the screen was a lit! The wheel scrolled to my playlists.. the sweet sounds of Hilary Duff carrassed my parched ears.
In amazment I stared at him. "Why!?" I asked, disbelivingly. "Why couldn't I get it to work?~" He said something about once and a while it needed to be hooked up to something. I'm guessing a MAC? Anyways I hopped back on the train straight for my apartment where me and CopyPod proceded to rip all my files off of the Ipod. Now if the little devil decided to die again at least it won't be taking my precious files with it.
Thank you for your support everyone. And they all lived happily ever after (at least, until tommorrow) = )
current mood: chipper current music: glorious ipod
So.. after still debating about my job situation as earlier. I was out listening to my Ipod thinking about how things were maybe not so bad afterall. I was walking through the Fens staring at the Pru glistening in the sunset. It was very nice.
As I continued down Hemenway St. towards home all of a sudden my music stopped. *Silence* I took out my Ipod.. it was off. Despite my efforts it would not turn back on. "Hmm" I thought. Maybe it just needs its battery charged. So still without a care a went home to rectify the situation.
Hours later, I have tried everything possible to turn the damn thing on. I have stuck it in my Iboom, connected it through USB, and for the last 6 hours have had it tethered to my AC adaptor. Despite this and going on about 30 attempted resets I haven't seen as much as an apple logo.
Luckily for me my warrently expired about a month ago. Even more luckily for me non of my music is backed up, including some of the rare Jpop files its taken me years to collect. I am at a loss for what to do. I do not know if my battery is gone, or the HD fried. I do not know.
Once again.. any suggestion. If I could just get my files back it would be so great since finding everything I had (and purchased from Itunes) would take money, time, and effort I'd rather be willing to exert on matters that have not already cost me $279.
If anyone wants to tinker with it go ahead. If anyone has had a similar situation please let me know. Anyone who wants to criticize me for either a puchasing an ipod or not backing up my music, is not welcome to share their opinion at this time. I am already super upset and have been beating myself up for the last 6 hours.
This year is not going in the favorites column of my life, not at all.
Its funny that I was born here.. but I feel so far away from everything once I'm back. This place seems so unfamiliar now. Its like being betrayed.
I love San Diego but theres nothing to do here.

So... Today is the last day of classes in my undergraduate carrer. I'm not even bothering to go to one. (Its a pointless review) And I'm thinking about not going to the last one cause its just other people's presentations which is going to be so boring. All I have left is 1 final Friday, a paper due on Monday, and a lab which I should get done by this time next week and thats it.
I feel like I should be excited. I'm not though. I also have to move starting next week, of course its only down the street but still its so cold that I don't feel like going outside. Job search is not going to well. Unless the job as the teaching assistant pulls through I don't think I'm going to have anything until I get back from Christmas, but maybe thats not such a bad thing... because I'm going home for two weekds and if I started something now I doubt my employeer would like that. I really hope I get the teaching assistant job even though its not a lot of money and I'll probably have to do something on the side.
Just so you all know it would be assistant teaching Japanese 1-3 graders at an elementary school although the job is only until the end of April. But I guess that gives me time to figure out what I'll be doing for next year. Whether it is going to Japan, staying in Boston, or moving back to California.
I am starting to like Poker. Maybe I'll just become a professional gambler :P

You take life as it is, and you find happiness in a variety of things. You tend to be close to family and friends. But it's hard to get into your inner circle. Making the little things wonderful is important to you, and you probably have an inviting home. You seek harmony with others, but occasionally you have a very stubborn streak.
Your strength: Your intense optimism
Your weakness: You shy away from exploring your talents
