Arrrrh! Bloody Pirates.

Last night I went to Misawa with Mel and Bec. We met a group of other JETs there, and went to see "Pirates of Penzance", put on by the Misawa Base Theatre Guild. Two JETs had starring roles - Sam as the Pirate King, and John as his lieutenant. It was excellent. I have never seen a straight man prance as well as Sam did. Anyone in the vicinity, I recommend you go and see it.

After the show, a big group of JETs headed to a Mexican restaurant just off base for some food. In little America, it is possible to get all sorts of food you can't find in the rest of the prefecture.

Filled with Mexican food, we headed back to the city. I live on the complete opposite side of town from Mel and Bec, so I crashed at Mel's for the night. In the morning she dropped me in town, and I realised my keys were in my coat pocket. Which was in Bec's car still...

I think the most annoying thing was that I had said to Mel "oh, my coat is in Bec's car. It's OK, it's not cold and I'll see her tomorrow anyway."

After I caught the bus back to that side of town, Bec was kind enough to drop me in town again. Then I caught the bus to my house. In all, an hour and a half balls-up. The spare key has now been put somewhere OUTSIDE my house...

I spent the rest of the morning tidying, and then Koto and her kids came for coffee. Minami has just started school, so she was a bit tired and not as genki as usual. Taichi was as hyper as ever.

Tonight, I think is DVDs, junk food and taking it easy. Tomorrow is an EofA meeting in Hirosaki, and then an "Area Leaders" meeting. I am planning to go early and visit Kinokuniya book shop, and go and see the cherry blossoms in Hirosaki park. The cherry blossoms have just started. They are early this year.

That is all for now. Really need to get my camera back...
