A TV station contacted our school and asked if they could borrow some foreigners for a variety show. Apparently they're going to make foreigners play ping pong with slippers as promo for the Japanese broadcast of the giant table tennis tournament occuring in China next week. I... totally forgot and so half the house is going, not including me, because I didn't wake up early enough to shower today. Buh.
I'm only a little jealous of those going because... I have no desire to be a foreign monkey on a TV variety show, but it would have been amazing to see how one of those is filmed in person. I mean, I know what it looks like, but still. If they ask again, I'm definitly along for the ride.
In other news, I forgot to mention ages ago, but I have tickets to a TVXQ/DBSK concert. And, Tim, giddy with the announcement of Ken Hirai's tour, asked me to tag along with him when he hits up Nagoya. So, that's on the schedule, now, as well. I still kinda want to see Arashi if they go on a summer tour early enough in the summer that I can go and possibly Monkey Majik, Koda Kumi, and/or Otsuka Ai.
In other, other news... I didn't make it to the post office today, either. Almost two weeks of not making it to the post office. Seriously, though. Why are there two posts offices in the area and both of them are over a mile walk from here? Whose idea was that? Huh? I feel like I need to gather provisions and assemble a party just to quest there to send anything. Geez.
