I’m getting yet another new green tag…only to have this one make a quick exit as well. As of the end of April, this will be four TI’s I’ll have gone through. *sniff sniff* It’s enough to give a girl a complex…

We tried a new yakiniku place this past Sunday. Well, not “new”, but one we’d never eaten at before. Steve recommended it.
It was pretty good. We ended up spending about the same amount of money we usually do and the cuts of beef were better, or so I was told. Honestly, I think I like the all-you-can-eat place a little more, maybe it’s in the way they marinate the beef or the garlic kind that we usually get.
Thereafter, we went back to Mike’s place to watch 300. I confessed to having no real desire to see the movie, but went anyway ‘cuz it’s us; this is what we do, and it’s fun to hang out together. To be honest, I’m glad I didn’t pay to see the movie. It was fun, though.
Anna has recently acquired a smoothie maker, so she made us all some smoothies for dessert. The one she made for me was akin to the Orange Shooters I always used to order from Freshens. Damn, I miss those smoothies.
First off, a big THANK YOU to Mark, the blog-fixer extraordinaire, without whom this blog would not be possible *bows*
And now, back to your regularly scheduled post…
A crazy thing happened here in Osaka this past Sunday morn. I was in the middle of a lesson and my student was trying to tell me about her favorite movie when she stopped mid-sentence and started looking around her room. I was mildly perplexed by this and then she calmly stated, “Sorry, earthquake.” All casual like it was a usual thing.
I confess some part of me panicked; I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to call tech or let the student log-off or what. She seemed fine, she looked around the room a couple more times, but then continued on with her sentence.
Not a minute or two later, I started to feel…dizzy almost. I couldn’t help looking around myself, wondering if I was the only person feeling this way. I noticed some of the tech staff looking abouts, too, thus assuring me that it was not just me.
It turns out it was my first tremor experience. I really can’t constitute it as an earthquake because technically, it was the aftershock.
It was a bizarre and strangely thrilling experience.
