    Uh… thank you?

    3 July 2008

    I just had a first grader run up to me, start to say something and then interrupt herself to say “Wow, Americans smell good!”

    In a hole in the ground…

    28 June 2008

    Found this when I was lost today. Creeps the ever living shit out of me.

    If only sweating could build muscle…

    21 June 2008

    It’s so hot.

    I rode my bike for about an hour today, just to drop off some DVDs I rented. I could rent from the cheaper, closer place, but I justify the extra cost by the fact that it gets me to ride my bike a hell of a lot more and lord knows I need it.

    I just rubbed down my balls with some Gold Bond Body Lotion. Feels like my nut sack is being assaulted by pure refreshment.

    Why this job is awesome

    17 June 2008

    Teaching at every elementary school in my town sure means something for when I go out. I can’t without running into a student. No big deal. But what it also means is that I run into a lot of parents without really knowing who is who. Again, no big deal. But one of my friends has a daughter that just started school this year. And I had my first class with her grade yesterday.

    My friend just emailed me and told me that after her daughter got home from school yesterday that she would not stop talking about how great my class is and how awesome it was.

    Deep Mysteries Abound

    13 June 2008

    I love the conversations I have at work.

    “Eric, is Friday considered the weekend in America?”
    “Nope.”
    “So, only Saturday.”
    “Nope, Sunday too.”
    “But Sunday is the first day of the week, right?”
    “Yes…yes it is!”
    “So how can it be the weekend?”

    Hmm… how indeed.

    Holy Blast From the Past

    10 June 2008

    When people were talking about the drama Full House on TV, I thought they were talking about some Japanese drama that happened to be named the same thing as the drama I knew. Not that it was actually goddamn show from late 80s & early 90s.

    But sure enough, it has been dubbed and is playing on Japanese television.

    Outstanding. What will they think of next?

    Whoops!

    9 April 2008

    I’ve asked practically every time for every ceremony and I was told, nah, suit wasn’t really necessary for elementary. And it was mostly true. Outside of the principal people just wore slightly nicer than work stuff. So I played it a bit risky for the opening ceremony and found my risk to be right. No suit needed. There was the welcoming ceremony for the new first grade students today, so heck that can’t be as big as the OPENING ceremony right? The first ceremony of the year has gotta be bigger eh?

    I realized I was wrong when I saw some mothers in kimonos bringing their children to school. And every single teacher in a suit.

    Whoops!
