ShIT -- Shakespeare In Training
So my knee is beginning to hurt. Not the knee that I have screwed up twice either. This time it’s the left one. I am afraid that this is going to tamper with my training. Either way, I am not going to let it get to me until it is probably too late. As of yesterday, I can run about 8.5 K in 55 minutes. It is good, but I have yet to hit the mark. Hopefully by the end of the week I will be able to run 10 K effortlessly (or if not effortlessly, at least making it through the final 1.5 K). After I master the 10K this week, I think I will begin doing some “stadiums” on the steps leading to the top of the main mountain in Uchinoura, or running up hills or lifting weights.
Besides this bit of news, Monday was pretty much the same. I spent most of the day in the office. I had lunch with the Katos. It was amazing. Oh, my car situation. Mr. Kato thought that he would be able to “update” my car at a better cost than buying a new one. He still has not found any cars that are really worth buying. They are all either very expensive or very cheap and not worth buying. However, upon taking a second look at my car, he thinks that it would still cost too much money for my current car that I will have to pay to get rid of when I leave Japan. Therefore, they lent me a loaner car (so I don’t drive illegally without insurance) until they find me a good car worth buying. I feel so grateful, but at the same time really bad because they really do go beyond the call of duty.
If you are wondering how my play script is coming along, well . . . it’s coming. It is difficult to write something semi-interesting in very basic English for an audience that will most definitely not understand. But, hey, that’s what a challenge is all about. If you're curious, you can read the first bit. Although I warn you that it may put you to sleep like a canary in a covered bird cage. Continue at your own risk . . .
Hmmm… I really want to go to America. You do? Where do you want to go? I don’t know. America is so big. It is difficult to choose. Well, let’s look at a map. Wow! It’s so big. Maybe we should go to California. California is very popular because there are many famous people. I have an idea. Let’s go to Las Vegas because they have big beautiful Casinos. I hear it’s better than Pachinko. Let’s go to New York! No, I don’t want to go to New York. It’s too cold in New York. I want to go to a hot place. Hmmm . . . . a hot place. Do you want to go to a nice beach? Yes, I love going to the beach. What else do you want to see or do? I want to meet nice people. I want to go to Disney World. I want to eat oranges. I KNOW! Let’s go to Florida.
