Kuniko and I are enjoying a nice easy weekend. Saturday we slept in and did a whole lot of nothing all day. I kept up with my vocab work, and we did a little bit of laundry. On the whole, not a lot to write about.<\/p>\n

We did watch one of my favorite TV programs, \u00e5\u00a5\u00b3\u00e7\u017d\u2039\u00e3\u0081\u00ae\u00e6\u2022\u2122\u00e5\u00ae\u00a4, which means “The Queen’s Classroom” literally – I’m sure that it has another subtle meaning. The show on Saturday was a prequel to the original series which I watch occasionally with Kuniko on Saturday nights. I am able to understand about half of what is said – it’s pretty tough to catch everything and sometimes I have to ask Kuniko about some plot point that maybe I didn’t get.<\/p>\n

It was very entertaining, though, and after that was over Kuniko and I stayed up late reading and finally went to bed after 1 a.m. <\/p>\n

Today we slept in a gain and did lots of laundry, and then got the house cleaned up for Tomo-chan’s lunchtime visit. We made up tacos, and ate a nice big lunch. It was good to see Tomo-chan – I hadn’t seen her since our wedding. She seemed really happy and to be enjoying her married life. We talked in a mixture of English and Japanese, since her English is so good. It was really fun to chat with her and practice my broken Japanese. <\/p>\n

<\/a> <\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

She seemed to enjoy the tacos and guacamole, and it turns out that she is a daily reader of this journal, so she knew all about my experiences with Homo Sausages. <\/p>\n

We gave her a packet of taco seasonings to take home – so maybe she can make tacos for her husband sometime. She had brought some desserts for us, and there were lots of really delicious looking cakes, and a cherry blossom cake that was really good. Lately I’ve been going crazy over the cherry blossom stuff.<\/p>\n

After we walked her to the station we cleaned up the kitchen a little bit, and now we’re going to spend a quiet evening catching up with studying and maybe watching some TV. I think we might be able to skip dinner – it was a very big lunch.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow it’s back to school for both of us, but there’s not much on the schedule – I think we just have a closing ceremony. Kuniko is doing a drinking party after school with her teacher’s group, and I am going to meet up with Atsushi-san at Denya for some drinks and conversation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
