I just got my haircut, the first time since i have been here, and I either look like a cool Japanese person or just a dumb fool. because in the states i think that this style might get laughed at. i would post a photo but it doesnt seem to want to let me right now, sorry folks. I walked into the place expecting a disaster, because most haircuts around here run about 50 bucks, this one was ten. the guy took 45 minutes. he had no clippers. thus my neckline, sideburns and ears were all cut by... A STRAIGHT RAZOR!!! ARRRGGHHH! actually, it wasnt bad at all, and after he was done he wiped my brow with a hot towel, and took another 15 minutes twisting many of the hairs together, brushing out all remaining hair, and finishing by cementing it all together with hairspray and gel. i actually like it.
lets see... the week that was for scott... Thanksgiving I chowed down on tuna, beef and chicken... in the smallest portions i have ever seen. it was fun, we ate at a restaurant that had all the booths shaped like eggs. the floor was see through glass with a zen like sand/rock garden beneath. nice place and amazing ly enough fairly resonable.
Friday-Tuesday not much. I worked, went to my lesson, and my teacher asked me out!!! If you think im serious, i feel sorry for you. Two more weeks until i move to the better room. i cant wait.
went to disney land yesterday. almost exactly like the other parks except that it is much more crowded and no one can speak english. strangly enough the characters NOT in full face covering outfits (ie. mary poppins, cinderella, snow white, the mad hatter, alice, etc.) were ALL either american or australian or british. hmmm.. future job possibility? I went with my roommate and his girlfriend (the mistress) and her friend. Neither one speaks english, so my listening comprehension ability for japanese has now increased from 4% to a whopping 5%.
i have finally decided that it is best, no matter how dirty, for me to stay in my current living arrangements. It would cost way too much to move if im not staying beyond next may or june. Stay tuned for next weeks entry "How I traveled to Japan to become a maid"!
the shorts-
-Fuji has snow on it, magnificent cant describe its beauty.
-The word for 'cute' and 'I hate you' are one letter apart and sound VERY VERY similar, which might explain why none of my pick ups are working. heh. kidding, dont worry mom, im not even looking.
-i have amassed enough friends to keep me busy, and my money disappearing.
-Who is coming to visit? and when? I already have info from one person.
-Sunday is dans BD. wish him a happy one
-i have once again forgotten the crazy little things that happened to me during the week.
have a good week.
scotto san
p.s. yes, students do call me scotto san, turns out that japanese words never end in a letter other than 'n' or a vowel. so, they cant understand how to say it without adding the o. I have actually seen a student add the 'o' to my WRITTEN name because they thought I had written it wrong! also, san means Mr.
I responded to you brett on the comment thread.

Sweetie, you are total freak of nature! I can't believe you moved to Japan - even worse, I can't believe you moved to Japan without telling me!! I expect lots of pictures, ESPECIALLY when you get home. You'll be getting a Christmas card from me in...however long it takes mail to get to Japan, but let me know if you need anything. You know, I'm doing the whole mom thing now, so tell me if you need a care package from home. Okay, go back to karaoke, or drinking, or eating worms with sauce, or whatever it is you were doing. :) Talk to you later, Angela M.
P.S. Did you hear that my children's book got published?!?
