Broadcasting to an audience of three (and a goldfish)...
Comment, ramblings and musings... life through the eyes of a Japanologist...

Monday, July 29, 2002 |
 I have two DVDs I've never watched the whole way through. One is 'Gone
with the wind', and the other is a Japanese film called 'Fly, boys,
fly!'. Well, 'Gone with the wind' is obvious; I lasted about 16 seconds
before the accents began to grate. 'Fly, boys, fly!', though, is a
little more puzzling; from what I've watched, it's an excellent film,
but something always happens to make me stop the DVD part-way through.
This time, it was a plague of little flies on my sofa! The odd thing is,
though, that they came from nowhere, and ten minutes after I'd stopped
the film, they'd all disappeared...
I wonder if it'll be locusts next
time?

Following on from yesterday's orange sky, an almost tangibly yellow sky
this evening. Perhaps it's a rainbow series (Richard Of York Gained
Battles In Vain). Admittedly I didn't see a red sky on Saturday, but I'm
confident about the prospects of a green one tomorrow evening...

What I didn't mention is that I managed to liken a Ferrero Rocher to a
lava lamp...
No, don't even think about asking how this reasoning came about!
|
|
Oh dear, it's pitiful really. I found myself writing a Ciao opinion on
Ferrero Rocher chocolates...
But what's really scary is that people are reading it!

Wearing a hat to hide my forehead was a good move, but not a perfect
one. I was waiting for the cash machine at Izumi (yes, the person in
front was a serial ATM-er!), and one of my elementary school students
came up. No greeting or anything; straightaway she came out with,
'You've got sunburnt!'
Thanks. As if I hadn't noticed...

I made a snap decision this morning to take the day off.
Actually,
it wasn't 'snap' at all; I'd been thinking since last night that there
was no way I could go to work looking quite so much like a beetroot. (As
an aside, I find that comparing anything to a beetroot doesn't work
here; I personally tend to use kani no kamaboko- crab-sticks-
instead.)
Anyway, it was pleasant and relaxing (well, pleasant apart
from my forehead!); all I did all day was bike to Izumi and Wants to
find calomine lotion. Needless to say, I wore a cap this time, although
more to hide my embarrassment than to protect myself from any more sun...
