It feels like the US.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/sesshomaru-costume.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/sesshomaru-costume.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"sesshomaru costume\" width=\"323\" height=\"362\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1161\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nSesshomaru-sama is definately Japanese, though. lol<\/p>\n<p>After work, I ran to Sugamo and did physical training with Take-san, the trainer of BJ and Mizugaki and Katsumura-san, among many others.  He had me do some previous exercises, plus he taught me some new ones.<\/p>\n<p>Monday morning I sparred, and then was pretty sore, so I took the rest of the day off.  I finished the movie Detective Dee. It was great!<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, I could barely move, I was so sore.  I went to my kid&#8217;s outservice, and it went pretty well.  I learned some things about managing large kids groups:<br \/>\n&#8211; running to touch the wall is okay.<br \/>\n-running to touch a single point, like a flash card stuck to the wall, is NOT good.  They collide and get hurt.<br \/>\n-any game with more than two steps is too complicated.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.  I taught almost all kids on Tuesday.  I managed to take a nap on the sofa in the teacher&#8217;s room!  In between lessons, I had tea with Kozo and won 300 yen on a lottery ticket! (like $4. The ticket had cost 4).<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, I resisted going to the gym, because I was kind of sore.  I ran stairs in my apartment building, took a walk, and then took a hour nap. I watched anime on my computer and also some videos I took of my sparring that Monday.<br \/>\nScreen cap of me sparring Bj- he&#8217;s fighting this Saturday! I can&#8217;t go \ud83d\ude41<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/roxy-bj-sparring.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/roxy-bj-sparring.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"roxy bj sparring\" width=\"270\" height=\"195\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1157\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I took about 4 videos before my capacity got full.  Nobody held the camera, so I had to put it down on something and aim the camera at the general area I was in.  Sometimes, we went off screen, and a few times, somebody else waltzed into the scene.  This is Omigawa laying it on Chuji. lol then they waltzed back out.  Omigawa-san is fighting in England in the UFC soon!  He&#8217;s looking good!<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/omigawa-san-chuji.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/omigawa-san-chuji.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"omigawa san chuji\" width=\"267\" height=\"209\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1158\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Queried two agents. It was great.  Then, I went to Yokohama and walked around Bay Quarter.  I&#8217;ve been spending a wee bit too much money lately, on random things like snacks which are more expensive than usual, or unusual foods I wanna try, or train fare.  I don&#8217;t wanna use up all my fight money.  We had a meeting about how to teach TOIEC yesterday at work, but I don&#8217;t wanna talk about that now. ~_~;;<\/p>\n<p>Today I&#8217;m sparring in the morning, and then meeting Megumi for a Culture Day parade!  I usually go to the events in Meiji Jingu, but this&#8217;ll be the first time for going to Asakusa!  I hope to lift at night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunday came and went.
