I like to talk about me: December 2006
http://alersy.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
I like to talk about me. Friday, December 29, 2006. Last night we were watching a game show. It consisted of four celebreties eating. They each ate four dishes, three of which they liked, one they hated, but made "yummy" faces for all of them. Then the other contestants had to guess which of the dishes they hated. IT LASTED TWO AND A HALF HOURS. Posted by Alisa at 9:35 PM. Wednesday, December 27, 2006. Want to look like an old man? Posted by Alisa at 10:47 PM. Monday, December 25, 2006. I was gonna let R...

I like to talk about me. Friday, March 31, 2006. Posted by Alisa at 12:45 PM. Thursday, March 30, 2006. I have no words. Posted by Alisa at 8:48 PM. I may freeze to death at this weekend's ohanami. You'd think an April picnic out under the cherry blossoms would be all balmy and t-shirts and chilled beverages, but it seems that winter has decided to make a comeback. I remember my first ohanami waaaaaaay back in 2001 was cancelled due to snow. This may be another such year. She elected to ignore my advice.

I like to talk about me: June 2006

I like to talk about me. Monday, June 26, 2006. Remember back when I had no hair? Now I have so much hair, I can sport two different hairstyles at once! Posted by Alisa at 1:36 PM. Monday, June 19, 2006. If we take nothing else away from this year's World Cup, at least we all will have learned the lesson that If You Keep On Kicking Argentineans In the Shins, They Will Get Really Annoyed And Annihilate Your Team 6-0. Oh, and also, Japan? Sadly, people actually do wear these. And some are even uglier&#...

I like to talk about me: August 2006
http://alersy.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
I like to talk about me. Wednesday, August 30, 2006. I am much better at teaching children than adults. My adult classes tend to be fairly casual affairs, and I don't often do a lot of preparation beforehand. (I've really embraced the "conversation" concept in "conversational English".) Luckily this is pretty much what my adult students are looking for, so I don't really worry about it too much. Tonight's lesson, however, was even more random than usual. Which led to me writing "pesticide" on the board.

I like to talk about me: February 2007

I like to talk about me. Wednesday, February 28, 2007. James Cameron finds Jesus! Just not quite in the way you might expect. Posted by Alisa at 8:45 PM. Tuesday, February 27, 2007. I'm the first to admit that my schedule is ridiculously easy, and that I could stand to work a few more hours. But c'mon. Monday morning? 1) we still have to do the trial lesson. Maybe the kids will hate me. 2) Andrew seems to feel extremely guilty about this, and is offering me compensation. The amount? Thing we've got going...

I like to talk about me: May 2006
http://alersy.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
I like to talk about me. Monday, May 29, 2006. Many thanks, anonymous giver of linking info. I don't think it actually worked, but I do appreciate the attempt. It is 8pm, the sun has been down for a few hours, and it is still 24 degrees in my apartment. Whee! A good 24, obviously, not the soul-sucking humidity-laden 24 of August) I like it when it doesn't rain. Not being constantly damp is quite pleasant. Ok, the longest sentence found outside of a James Joyce novel. Whatever. Me: Sigh. In English? And l...

I like to talk about me. Wednesday, January 31, 2007. The jury is still out on the snowboarding thing. I went to the gym today and did my regular routine (sans yoga, because if I fell over doing eagle pose, I would never hear the end of it. Concerned housewives would be coming up to me in the grocery store three months from now and asking if my knee was better yet, and take care dear! Posted by Alisa at 1:14 PM. Monday, January 29, 2007. Posted by Alisa at 2:46 PM. Friday, January 26, 2007. The answer wa...

I like to talk about me: October 2006
http://alersy.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
I like to talk about me. Monday, October 30, 2006. Turns out my subconscious is psychic and didn't want me to go to the gym at all. Why? Ok, try to follow me here. No Did I receive the postcard in time? No Do I have time this week AT ALL to go downtown and get my visa and then try to work things out with the alien registration card people (mine expired last week, because guess what you can't renew without a valid visa? That would be a big, fat, no. Posted by Alisa at 12:52 PM. Tuesday, October 24, 2006.

I like to talk about me: April 2006
http://alersy.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
I like to talk about me. Saturday, April 29, 2006. Well, FINALLY. Spring is here! The sun is warm, the breeze is gentle, large insects are moving into my apartment, and last night I kept the windows open all night. I didn't freeze, but I did wake up all sneezy. Man, I can't wait for autumn. Posted by Alisa at 11:34 AM. Tuesday, April 25, 2006. Who's less exciting than road kill? Me: "Um, where did our students go? Maho: "I dunno. They just ran out, saying they'd be back soon.". Posted by Alisa at 7:50 PM.

I like to talk about me: September 2006
http://alersy.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
I like to talk about me. Friday, September 29, 2006. I made chocolate chip cookies the other day and did not burn them. Yay! The first one I had nearly brought tears to my eyes.I'd forgotten how much better homemade cookies are than storebought ones. Then I promptly brought the rest to work, because while I love to bake, I really don't need to eat two dozen cookies by myself. Posted by Alisa at 11:30 PM. Wednesday, September 27, 2006. I feel like I've wandered into a Lilliputian's kitchen. And this last ...
