Coffee kudasai

That was just my first post and it was a test. Typhoon 23 is getting stronger. It must be blowin about 60mph outside right. It isn't raining anymore. None of the schools were in session today. Channel 1 has been cycling video of the typhoon's destruction thus far. I was watching the TV during lunch with my boss(who doesn't know ANY English). We were watching people struggling through the streets with broken umbrellas when it showed some lady slip and fall into a puddle in the middle of the street as it was pouring out. My boss started cracking up. It was pretty funny I guess. I was also laughing at how my boss, Kubo-san, could just start laughing at something like that. After that I switched to a live feed of the Boston/Yankees game. Boston won! The feed was uncut with no commercials. Some fans threw trash out on the field and you could here the fans yelling 'bullshit' 'bullshit'.. I was eating a bento(box) for lunch because there wasn't the usual lunch at the school.
Today I sat in the Board of Education office all day and so I started this blog. I should be studying my Ninhongo or making lesson plans but I have been just tooling around. Tomorrow I teach the 3rd graders(9th grade) at the Junior High. Just one class, yah. It is my favorite because the actaully listen to me and try, or pretend, to follow along with my lesson. I am thinking about talking about the election and showing them what a ballot book looks like and the punch card and give em some vocab words.
I have a headache, and I don't know why.
The secretary aske if I wanted coffee. I said yes, but still yet no coffee.... It is like in Empire of the Sun, when Jim was offered "Hey you want a Hershey's?" he said "Yes, sir, please" and the guy said "So would I kid." WTF poor Jim. Christian Bale had to gain 60 pounds in a month for his screen test for Batman. He just ate Ice-cream and pizza. The pizza here comes with corn on it.
When will the worms stop coming out of the toliet?
