oops? it seemed as though the driver that hit them was already gone though… the girl was breathing but the dog wasn’t as far as i could tell >.>

the bike seat of pain

university dance club. they were dancing to come rap music i guess.. the two guys both go to dance school and are pretty damn good at it. its a pity the music sucks, else i might’ve joined :p

well i can’t be bothered writing much today. thursdays consist of 3 classes consecutively with only 10 minutes break in between – thats 240 minutes of constant japanese study. quite intensive, but the teacher that takes all three of the classes is really cool and teaches at a nice and steady speed.

finally got up to the last level of ouendan… its hard to say the least. i haven’t got more than 30 seconds into the song yet. going to take quite a bit of practice!

i haven’t actually watched australian tv in at least 5 years.. which is quite the opposite of the situation since i arrived in this house. i guess its partly just being sociable and hanging around in the same room as the family, and partly because of the amount of good shows on at the moment >< .

this drama season is looking very very interesting

so as for uni. we’ve been studying the unfair sharing of household chores and child upbringing in japan… basically reading a whole bunch of articles written by feminists. it can get pretty boring at times, but then there are moments like this, that brighten up the week. this teacher is really awesome at doing drawings – its as if she’s writing kanji that she’s practiced many times before.

then there’s shopping trips to clothes shops that shouldn’t be as interesting as they turn out to be.  in fact i thought this shop was a pachinko parlour up until the day we actually went inside it… its called SHOT and the logo really looks like people would be gambling inside.  anyways, this was my favourite shirt amongst the hundreds of engrish ones.

today i was lucky enough to stroll past the himeji dokkyo brass band playing a couple of songs.  apparently they do it quite often so ill have to make sure to listen to the whole thing next time.  they played sakura (N’s aoi ed by kabukuro) and pop star (hirai ken) amongst a few other cool non-pop songs.

back to study/ds for me :d
