Uneventful two days

The last couple of days I haven't done too much. But before I explain that, I figure I should talk about people that I have met. For their protection I have decided to rename them so that they can maintain some sense of anonymity.

First is the person that hired me. Let's call him, Mick Jagger. Mick is British, like the real Mick and crazy like the real Mick :) Crazy in a good way of course...not the needs medication and a large amount of therapy crazy...though....Anyways, he enjoys video games, drinking, and young girls, the legal variety. He's damn good at his job and leaves me satisfied with my choice (not in the Mick Jagger kind of way, but the employer-employee kind of way).

Then there's the person who is allowing me stay in her house. I'll call her Lisa Simpson. She's extremely nice and diplomatic to everyone, but knows when to put her foot down when she needs to get people in line. She is smart, resourceful and sometimes seems to be the most grounded person in the room. She's motivated and knows what she wants.

Then there's an ALT from America. I'm going to call him Ren & Stimpy. Not to say he's dumb, because he's not. He's good at his job and very responsible, but there's just something about the words that come out of his mouth that send me on a flashback to my childhood years of watching that show. Perverse and mind-numbingly hyperactive.

Another ALT from America reminds me of Harry Potter. It's not so much how he acts, but more how he speaks and how he looks. That kind of geeky sophisticated. He seems to also be choosing the most precise words he can when speaking (very exact enunciation) and he's always there to save the day. Bought me my darts, some beer, and found me a possible roommate (like MAGIC!).

Finally is my employers girlfriend. She's the cutest thing I've ever seen and as sweet as can be. I want to call her Hello Kitty-chan, but that doesn't really fit her personality (just her adorable appearance). She should get a job wearing a kitty suit with her hand up in the Maneki Neko pose and cat ears. She'd get people to do anything she wanted. She kind of reminds me of Lily (Alyson Hannigan's...band camp girl...character from How I Met Your Mother). Sweet enough to be the kindergarten teacher, but loves pro wrestling. She'll do just about anything for you with a smile and, "sumimasen," but when you make her mad, she'll get you in a piledriver and beat you senseless. Never underestimate the 80 pound Japanese girl! On a separate note, if you google image Alyson Hannigan all the photos are of her in her underwear.

The last couple of days have been slow and somewhat uneventful (2 hour drive to an outlet mall and a traditional Japanese meal). I did happen to get money!!! So now I can buy toothpaste (thought it'd be a good thing to leave home and save space in my suitcase, everyone is regretting that decision).
