Taking a break
Today was Culture Day. I'm not really sure what exactly that means except that it's a holiday and (I was told) that other schools hold festivals. Phil and some of his friends went to Harajuku and the Meiji Shrine today to see what would happen, but, other than it being more crowded than usual, they didn't see much... or rather, they missed what there was to see.
I spent the day working on the presentation for Shoji Class tomorrow. From waking up to meeting Kai and Saori, I compiled notes and wrote up a short outline. Then we met for about 4 hours, including a quick trip to Tsutaya to try to rent the Naruto episodes I wanted to use (no luck, of course that would be the one dvd AND cassette missing) and buy more girlie magazines. I will be so glad when this class is over. It was really quite a joke, and though I probably could have made it more for myself, we were never really given any sort of guidance, so I just became really unmotivated about it (especially after the last class, which was a *complete* waste of time). It also didn't help that the only "work" in the class was in the form of group "projects." No offense to my group, I love them, but I hate group work. Hopefully whatever extra class I end up in next term will not be such a waste of my waking hours, however few I spend on it.
Anyway, here are the goodies:
The ridiculously amazing box Kai made for collecting our Body Language surveys. If he were a woman, he'd be the woman who does everything more beautifully than me.
We met in his room to work on our project today, and he shared these beauties from the ICU Festival brochure with me:
(from the [tandorii chikin] booth) "Tandoori Chiken--it's a spicy, tasty, oisy (OISHI) chiken!!" ("Oishi" translates as "tasty" by the way.)
Left (from Cafe Anju): "is black coffee really good? you don't have to be 'adult' here is the coffee never play up to you"
Right (from Can you fly?? I can FRY!!): "Our tiny & tasty fries can able you to fly with good taste !!"
(from the [churos] booth) "Sweet?Sweet!SWEET!! You should experience chuckle of churros!"
Simple and straightforward (from [chijimi]?): "Come & eat us."
And finally, not quite as funny, but a classic example of everyone's favourite Engrish (from a girlie magazine at Tsutaya):
