Happy Birthday Thorne! Hope you have all the best today. Go have some yellow cake with chocolate icing and a big glass of milk, maybe a scoop of ice cream on the side. Traditional is good for a reason.
Tonight we're having another drinking party, all the schools and the Board of Education. There was a warning at the morning meeting that everyone ought to have their self-introductions handy, which I find funny since I, the foreigner, am actually the only one who doesn't need one. I work at the all 5 places, and I'm the only one who everyone already knows. I'm looking forward to it so I can party with the Futakawa Elementary people again, and hopefully go off and sing some karaoke. I really can't wait to sing some karaoke. The last time I went karaoke-ing with Melf I realized I can sing Tom Jones's "If I Only Knew" and one of my favorite Spitz songs pretty decently and I want to test drive them on a Japanese audience. (Who knew I could do that kind of "Oww!" and "Yeah!" so well??)
I watched The Mummy Returns, or whatever it's called last night, and it was not nearly as fun without Twig there to pick on for choosing it. (Though the whole 'You have brought about a second apocolypse!' 'Gasp!' 'You, lighten up. You, big trouble. You, in the car.' remained funny.) It's a sad state for a movie when the best actor in the thing is the little kid. George Lucas, take note.

It was all much niftier in person...though that could have had something to do with the fact that the headphone tour was provided by John Rhys Davies.
