Komban wa!
Last two days have been really unexciting. I've been working on another PowerPoint presentation for a deal I'm doing after school on Saturday. Yes, I said Saturday. I guess I had the day off today if you count the fact that I didn't go in to any office, so it evens out, I guess. If you factor in that I was working on this presentation most of the day, you may change your mind. Or not, your choice. I'd let you take a looksie, but it seems pointless. It's a brief intro to school in the States. Wheeler more specifically, comparing a bit to their school so they can see what it'd be like to go to American school. Well, the best I can with most of my pictures taken from Google image searches. The problem with Wheeler's web site, it seems, is that the admin is adamantly opposed to posting pictures of students and even their full names. That means no cool hallway images available to me, no cool pep rally pics, no pics of students making out in the courtyard. No real 'essence' of Wheeler. I guess I understand their concerns, avoiding stalkers and all. Back to my point, stock photos are abundant throughout my presentation, but don't tell them. I even managed to slip in a subliminal message. Ok, you got me, it's just a picture of good ol' Ma.
I had a shitty dinner at Shakey's Pizza tonight. I was pressured into getting the buffet and the food was sucktacular. The best part of the meal was the beer and the shaved ice dessert. I got to run the shaved ice machine too, a DIY deal with little bottles of flavored syrup and all. The most amusing part of my meal was this older teen-looking Japanese girl eating with some younger 20s-looking Japanese guy. She was kind of cute in her Philly 76'ers cheerleader uniform and she had cool boots and wacky stick out pony tails. Face wasn't so cute, but the get up was. I wish I could have taken a picture without getting gang raped by the Yakuza. You know how some shirts have the breast pocket logo on them, even when there's no pocket? How funny would it look on their back instead? It was the first thing I noticed and it was hard not to laugh when I looked at her. I made it look ill-fitting too, despite the fact that it was tighter than Britney before Justin.
Tune in tomorrow when I will have more time to write about the differences in Japanese and American craftsmanship. I need more time to write it and more time to collect my thoughts to give it the treatment it deserves.
