Karaoke in Ishinomaki

September 22nd, 2006

Oh, is there any sweeter call to congregate than the words: Karaoke Nomihokai (Karaoke Drinking Party). So, I wasn’t planning on going out on Friday night, because I was DEAD EXHAUSTED from teaching Elementary school kids and lack of sleep, BUT, someone emailed out, Karaoke Nomihokai and I just had to say yes :grin:. And besides, this would have been my second time out to Ishinomaki, and I could finally experience some night life there! So we started out going to a bar that actually served Pizza! Real Pizza!

Reading Test Today!

September 19th, 2006

Last weekend, I was informed that there would be a reading test on Tuesday. I had Monday off; apparently, they have a day to respect the elderly. I though that day was in August, but apparently, that was a day to respect the deceased.

Welcome!

September 18th, 2006

Ok, so after some heckling from my collegues, I’ve decided to create a blog.  It seems like every JET has a blog and so I’m going to create one too.  I just hope it isn’t really boring…at least making the site was a lot of fun.  It’s not quite ready yet, so bear with me…or should I say, よろしくお願いします!  So, anyways, here are my updates:

  1. A new blog! YAY!
  2. A photo section!

And that’s just about it…  What I hope to work on in the near future is:

  1. Integration of photos into the blog
  2. Fix up the “pages” section
  3. Make the commenting more readable
  4. Organize categories
  5. Fix the sidebar
  6. Write an “about” section
  7. Fix the “contact” section

And that’s just about all I can think of off the top of my head…

Until next time!
