So, I just got an email from the guy that ran the Kyushu Golden Week Hitchhike Challenge. I’m just going to copy and paste it.
The much-coveted Best Team Name bonus went to…V-V-V-Vinnie and the Brent, with their Elton John tribute nomenclature!
With those points added we have a Top 3 Hitchers of ‘09.
In 3rd place, with a very impressive 1,600 points…
V-V-V-Vinnie and the Brent, aka Vinnie and Brent
In 2nd place, with a ground-breaking 1,695 points…
Hitching Hotness, aka Becky and Peter
I included Becky and Peter because they’re friends of ours. The winners, well, I don’t know them nor do I care. LOL. The winners had over 2000 points…what the hell? This is the first time in like 4 years that someone from Fukushima hasn’t won, BUT, 2nd and 3rd ain’t bad.
The vids of the trip are in a post below if you haven’t seen them.
…if I can post from work through the firewall…we shall see.
Spent Sunday this last weekend at the Sendai Jazz festival. It was the first time I’ve ever been. Good enough, but less about the jazz and more like a day in Sendai with live music being played all over the place. I didn’t even drink and had a good time. How crazy is that? Who knew you could have fun without alcohol. Um, my school’s been closed for the last week because over 10 percent of the students have “new flu.” Which is just a new strain of the swine flu or whatever. BUT all the teachers still have to come to school and sit in the staff room staring at each other. It’s been a blast (read: I want to kill myself). Thank god I have visit schools that I can go to. This way I can carry the flu to different areas of the prefecture getting other schools sick before I realize I have it myself! YES!
Definitely in a I could easily do a 5th year in Japan type mood today. Which is interesting I guess. I have 2 days of work left before silver week (a 5 day weekend!). And then Mo’s parents and her sister are coming over for a week. Should be a pretty good time as I haven’t seen them in 3 years and we get along well. At least, I think we get along well, maybe they secretly hate me and are plotting my assasination as I type this. LOL.
Alright, well, let’s see if this works. Nope, didn’t work….
Just for good measure, I’m gonna throw in a picture of Grant (I went to his wedding last year), Kenta and myself.
