A Real Update Today
June 11, 2002
Seeing how I haven’t put effort into the last few posts, today I’ll actually take some time to write something.
I have been working everyday (except Sunday) for the past 1,000,000,000 days, or so it seems. Even though I’m expecting a nice paycheque soon, my visa is off the wall so in the end I’ll just have a few dimes leftover to mooch a beer off someone. I guess it’s alright because work is more of a social environment for me instead. I have more fun with people from work than most other groups because I think I can make an ass of myself and no one would care whereas in other groups, say school people, I feel I have to watch what I say. Oh well, not like I have to see them anymore.
I will be going down to the magical land of Seattle next month with Eri and a few work people for a Mariners game! The deal with Ichiro is that he’s some Japanese baseball player and he is worshipped by many in Japan. The cool thing is he is actually a really good baseball player (MVP and Rookie of the Year) so their fanatical obsessions with Ichiro are actually over skill I think. So far I’m still looking for a good hotel (good = cheap) to stay the night. I have a bad feeling that the girls are going to be shopping madly while the guys will be making fun of them outside. I think I’ll skip the Krispy Kreme dealie because it doesn’t sound like such a big deal. I will knock everyone unconscious so that I can try to visit Bruce Lee’s grave and pay my respects to the man I admire most.
Speaking of work, some people are organizing an activity named “Summerfest”. As far as I know, it’ll be an annual festival where a bunch of English schools are invited to party (beer, games, music I guess). They are actually sampling local bands right now for the festival. Dennis, if you are interested in performing, get me a tape and I’ll put in a good word although I don’t think they’ll be very keen on growl metal. Maybe we can rock together in the stylings of Rage Against The Machine or Silverchair or something. That would be cruel.
The strangest thing that’s happened is that everyone except for Jesse has updated to some extent. Even Michelle, who is fighting off giant mosquitos updated somehow… must’ve mailed her update on some bamboo leaves and had a friend type it up.
I am out of words.
