Memories

09. Januar 2008 | en

ANYWAY

so 3 years ago would find me in Japan with Mr. Luedee. And the opportunity arose for us to go to the Snow Festival in Hokkaido and spend a day skiing/snowboarding. I have skied in the past, but the chance to learn to snowboard seemed too cool to pass up. John must’ve been delusional from the excitement of the prospect of hitting the hills of Hokkaido and agreed to teach me how to snowboard. Roll forward to when we actually get there.

John realizes that a beginner snowboarder will in all likelihood cramp his style. All his visions of a day on the hills are crushed after I strap on my board and proceed to face plank before I’ve even tried to move. I giggle. John forms a plan. After a quick how to we go up the bunny hill and come back down. I don’t die. Neither do I maim others. So John puts his plan into action.

John: You know the regular hills are no different than the bunny hill. Lets go.

Sherrie: errrrr are you sure? (in head: then why are there bunny hills?)

John: (slightly agitated) Yes Im sure. Lets go.

5 minutes later Sherrie is cruising successfully down before crashing into a snow drift and drowning.

John: (screaming as he wizzes past) I’m going too fast to help you. Ill get you when I come back up.

herrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

By the time he gets me Ive managed to wiggle myself in so deep in my escape attempts that he passes me the second time around by accident and its a third before I’m pulled out.

Surprisingly the rest of the day went very well. However like the challenged person I am I digressed as the day went on. At 1 I was looking like someone who had done this at least a couple of times before. By 3:30 every time I stood up I fell back down and by 4 I was sitting in the middle of a big hill crying that I hated Japan, snowboarding, and in particular Mr. Luedee. When some JET we met on the bus stopped to comment “uh oh tears already” and I lunged forward in my best effort to bite his fingers off John decided to call it quits for the day.
Good times for the weekend!!!

I Think It Was June

22. Juni 2005 | en

My memory is a bit sketchy. ;-) Either way I was on a mission. To meet Godzilla desu!!!

Every few months the major airlines in Japan have ichi maan sales. No not an icthy man, but rather a flight anywhere in Japan for an ichi man, or about 100 dollars. (at least at the time it was worth about that much). Living in a rice field meant we had a craving for city life, and who doesn’t love Tokyo. So we booked our flights, Tokyo and then Okinawa it was. Hurray! Godzilla here I come!

Frantically trying to locate him according to Lonely Planet:

The problem was we WERE where Godzilla should be, and yet we kept missing him. Had he gone off on a rampage to terrorize the sewer rats?

Because as it turned out, that would be about all everyone’s favorite giant lizard would be terrorizing.

So impressive

and yet

something was missing:

like size:

Next time I will read the guide closer to discover that missing him is common due to the belief that a monster that stomps buildings should be able to umm, well, step on them?

That of course did not stop me from going into Godzilla mode the rest of the holiday, including spontaneous outbreaks in stores:

Even if my dragon drink was scarier, or for that matter the bubbly shrimp concoction we had in Okinawa.

John Responds To The Custody Battle

10. Dezember 2006 | en

An email I just received:

Ms. Sherrie-san

According to the japanese prenuptuial (August 2003) it is stated that ‘Ms. Sherrie-san’s custodial rights over Nippon are contingent on 2 factors.

1.

that Mr jon-san has left Japan indefinitely.

2. That Mrs. Sherrie-san’s alimony payments are up to date and sufficient in the ‘maintenance’ of Mr jon-san’s sushi needs. ‘

Regarding the first point, Mr. JOn-san contends that he has not yet left Nippon ‘to do his masters’ nor does he intend to do so any time soon. His current employment contract has been extended until the end of July 2007.

After said employment is terminated Mr Jon-san may be entering a farming co-op in the production of tofu, natto and soy milk. (He has stated for the record that if such a situation should arise he would be willing to conced
to you full visitation rights as he will be living in a remote and little known village in the northern area of honshuu thusly negating any uncomfortable situations. however, he has added that the 50 m restraining order should be kpt in place for his own personal safety.)

Further, Mr. jon-san has stated that the agreed upon alimony payments are in arrears. He would like to add that while he is not exactly demanding payment he could be appeased for several months, if not years, by the receipt of a bar of german chocorettooo. ƒ`ƒ‡ƒRƒŒƒbƒg!I‚¨‚¢‚µ‚¢B you understand that those oishii square bars of german chocolate (ugh, mr luedee is making a scene at the present moment in the internet cafe just thinking about the one
with the peanuts…) are an import here in the land of the rising sun and the price of said bars is far too exorbitant for mr jon-san’s meagre ESL salary.

should this latter request be met I am so very happy to note that my client mr. jon-san will negate the statutes of the presiding prenuptuial agreement and will concede full visitation rights to ms sherrie-san, nee., Ms five
feet of anger-san wait, shouldn’t that be the maiden name..

whatever,

merry christmas
