DearScotty

The third-year teacher has finally decided to stop butchering Lennon’s Imagine and has now decided to torment me by playing and singing along with Billy Joel’s My Life. It’s a shame the students are too busy sleeping to enjoy the humor in it. Yesterday, I didn’t teach because there was a JET meeting to attend. As expected it was another pointless meeting but it got me a free train ride into the city where I went out after the meeting. It wasn’t anarchy in the streets but I got to vent a little bit about Japan life with Tim. He’s also going through the same “hate everything Japanese” phase that I’ve been stuck in for a few weeks. Seems like no one understands us.

He went out with a group of six to an all you can drink/eat place. When they seated they told the waiter that 3 would be all-you-can-drink while the other three would not. This confused the waiter greatly, so he got the manager, someone like the soup nazi, and they were refused to split the bill. Since they were sitting together they had to all pay for the all-you-can-drink. Tim, being a rational guy, knew this was bogus and tried to get shit fixed, meanwhile the other spazzy JETs told him to calm down and let it go, “Stop being so American!” I hate these JETs just as much as I hate the irrational Japanese. “Stop being fucktards, you fucktards.” On a brighter note, I got my face printed in the local mini magazine, Fukuoka Now! thus marking the 2nd Japanese publication to have my face grace its pages.

Enjoy today’s song lesson:
