That Kansai Juniors show that's running in August? Apparently Kimi-kun WROTE it.


This is gonna be ON CRACK.

This morning as I was walking from the train station to work, I managed to smack the back of my hand into something that was rather hard. Metal, most likely. And pointy.

By the time I got to work, I had a nice little red lump where I'd been hit. And my fingers were numb.

Pain pills, ice. Kept it up near my shoulder as much as I could while getting morning snack ready for the preschool kids.


After a while my fingers got all normal-ish again, though wiggling my index finger on that hand makes it hurt pretty bad (the ouchie is near that tendon).


And now it's been a good long while since I hurt it, and it's still got a red bump, still very painful, and still not really reacting to painkillers or ice.


It is very ouchie.

Today was the rescheduled Kansai Juniors concert! It'd been postponed during the piggy flu scare week, but we finally got to see our Juniors!

( Highlights! )

On shukudaikun, about 2 minutes ago:

Ohno: I saw you in the newspaper today.

misono: Thank you! I was in a 袋とじ!

a furkuro toji is the pages in a magazine/newspaper that are sealed along the edges so you have to tear off a perforated line to see what's inside.... usually pinups/porn.

Ok, now Kimi-kun is starting to bring out the crazy!



[edit 21:38] And it's really starting to freak me out!

No?


Really?



Fuck.



i'm gonna go curl up in the corner and cry now

1. Names my hypothetical boy child will never be given: Shinnosuke (all kids by this name that I have ever known have been absolute terrors and when you call their name you sound like the mom on Crayon Shin-chan); Genki (your kid is saddled with a name that is either too descriptive or ironic).

2. Because my world is mostly made up of kids between the ages of 1 and 6, with most of my concentration fixed on the 1-2 year-olds in that scale, I tend to lose sight of the fact that the older kids are still really young kids.

3. I need to remember that I have essentially been raising kids from babyhood through toddler for about four years now, while most of the moms are doing it for the first time.

4. Should my hypothetical child ever ingest a desiccant, I will not bring them to school and tell the teachers "call me if she vomits."

5. Even if my hypothetical child is begging to go to school the day after they've been sick with a fever (no matter how cute they look waiting by the door in their pyjamas and shoes), if their temperature is 37.5 or over I will keep them at home for another day.

We have come up with the best tactic ever for gyaku-nan on Rikikya.

Got home today to find an Arashi FC mailing in my post box. Through the yellow envelope I could clearly see a ticket application info form, and I started to get all excited....



but no. Just saying that stupid Nino's got a stupid play up in stupid Tokyo until 8/11.



JE knows we're all waiting for the tour announcement, and now they're just fucking with us.

This weekend has been a failure for me as far as keeping in touch with stuff (my phone isn't working and won't work again until tomorrow, today my internet cut out for about seven hours...). So when Laura got a call from her company saying that the schools in her city (just a few stops down the line from my school) were canceled this week because of swine flu, I thought maybe I should mail my manager and find out if my schedule had changed.


And sure enough, school is canceled. No kids this week. But teachers have to report to work anyway.


I'll actually have prep time this week!
