My birthday is over. 誕生日でした。

Being in Japan this year I wasn’t expecting much in the way of presents or phone calls. (For those of you who did call/write, thank you very much! And for those who couldn’t, no worries! I know how it is. I’m terrible at correspondence, but I still love ya!)

I was surprised by Kiko though! We had planned to go to (the one) restaurant in town (actually I beleive it is in the neighbouring town!) and call it a night. She surprised me with a cake!

So without further ado…

It’s my birthday! 誕生日です。 Give me some love. 😉 I’m 25…. ug. 🙁

But who is that hot guy below?

This is actually an edited version of a previous entry. I have a bad fever and the office girl is running around quite upset because it is 3:01 and she has forgotten to make tea, so I hope this makes some sense.

On Saturday, despite a sore throat and a fever, I played 3 games with my fellow Kagawa Prefecture Soccer friends in the JET Western Japan Soccer Tournament.

The first game was my first in 2 years since I tore my ACL (see below). We won our first game 6-0 (one assist and a terrible miss on a breakaway by me!) and proceeded to lose the rest … by a lot.

This picture was taken about 5 minutes after I had just injured my knee (I tore my ACL!). I then proceeded to play the rest of the half and walked an hour and a half back to my house.

I figure after my first marathon, and a number of practices, that I am ready. In honour of this event (which is super exciting for me!) I have put up a soccer picture gallery of me on my various teams and from the tournament this weekend.

So I’ve received a bunch of inquiries as to what my work was like. So, in no particular order, here are some pictures of me in my work gear, with one of my students (who came to my house to get juice and some rice crackers(!!??)), and a clipping about me in the newspaper. Because I’m famous.

and also just because… (this is the futon beater. He beats futons.)
