lesson 34: asteroid ahoy!
so i was reading that an asteroid is gonna hit the earth in 2036...which is nice.
its called Apophis, which derives from an Egyptian myth where said Apophis is an evil ancient spirit who comes to destroy and plunge the world into darkness! oooooh, and i would of got away with it if it wasn't 4 u pesky kids. typical behaviour of an ancient evil demon if u ask me...but u aint...
so, experts in near-Earth objects (NEOs [haha...stupid name]) hav gathered [in anoraks and weildin lunchboxes full of egg sandwiches!] to discuss our pending destruction!!!!! THANK GOD! i was worried! hopefully their conference will end with the unanimous decision that what the world needs is an enormous frickin laser!
anyhoo, interestin article if u r bored on t break.
a third poster has arrived in class. my little buggers r in 'phase 3' by the looks of it and my limited readin skills in Japanese and Chinese tells me that whatever is goin down is goin down on monday. so hold onto ure pants for monday's last installment of 'what hav the little buggers got planned for the monkey?'
last thing, 2moro is the last day of proper teachin! ahhhhhhhh! yes! its comin to an end, and by way of celebration i am hittin the city! stones throw records r in town and draggin madlib and [the 1 and only...] peanut butter wolf with them! so a big whoop 4 that!
right, more news from Japan on monday...

lesson 32: a little bit of this and a little bit of that.
yosh.
right, lots of little bits and bobs 2day.
first go ova 2 matty b's blog for a link to a video off why?'s new album (i think) 'elephant eyelash'. its really cool, a good find by the boy wonder.
i aint bin up to much. went to the city ova the wknd to try and do som more crimbo shoppin...and came away with the word 'boo!' and 'bah, humbug!' firmly in place. i leave it at that.
err...
work was busy last week, sortin things out as this week will b the last week of teachin, then a party on monday. i dont really lik talkin about work cos it makes me think about havin to leave. dont really wanna talk about that either.
earlier in the week i was sayin to 1 of my little buggers about how most morninz and eveninz r really cold and the afternoons r still quite warm (the 'killer bees' r still about) and she said in Japanese they call it 'koharubiyori'
which translates as 'small spring day'. nice way to describe a warm afternoon i thought.
me and my pals here r tryin to organise a trip 2 Kyoto when we finish. its the place to go and see 'old Japan' and they still hav Geisha and Maika there, so that will b gud. i think its all mainly for the tourists but all my students seem to think its the place to go, so i think there will b a bit of culture there 2.
a mate sent this pic, what u hav to do is find 50 band names in there, for example bottom left is guns and roses...u c? good. so i wanna find all 50, but cant, so if any of u clever people r bored and wanna post comments on what bands names r where mayb we can get em all. mayb some of u hav already seen this cos i think its an ad 4 a popular music shop (the big, round, red logo gav it away a bit), but its new to me.
a happy birthday to jane and thanks to my mum 4 sendin me an advent calender! haha. mmm, chocolate...
right, thats all for now...oh, apart from this amazin news; "...according to figures released by David Beckham's Company, Footwork Productions, the England skipper earned £32.98-per-minute last year." just lik bein an ingerlish teacher really.
