"The name! His name on the computer!" (which is on the projector screen)
When I found out what she was talking about, I kind of wish I would have stayed oblivious, but instead of the name of my professor, he had put Big Daddy.
Now, I don't know about you, but this was quite disturbing news to me, despite the fact that I couldn't stop laughing after I had seen it. I mean, what professional professor would put that on his laptop? Personally, I think it's a little creepy, but it fits him well because he is that type of professor. You know the one who isn't married and feels the need to feel younger? (now, I'm not saying that people who aren't married are like this; he just chooses to be like this because he's not married and wants to feel younger) I don't know. It just sounds like a midlife crisis. Also, I have issues with the phrase 'Big Daddy.' Out of all the ridiculous names out there, it is perhaps one of my least favorites if not my least favorite, just because it sounds both cocky and stupid to me.
It seems that I learn something new about my Intercultural Communications professor every week. I'm worried what I will learn about him this week...or next week...
Anyway, on a much better note, I went to karaoke for the first time on Friday, and it was awesome! Why can't we have awesome karaoke in the U.S.? Basically, (at the place I go to) you pay about 600 yen for 8 hours of karaoke and free drinks (soda and juice; if you want alcohol, you have to bring your own), and there are all sorts of songs: Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and English. It's just amazing, and I hope to go back this Friday!
On Saturday, I went to make daifuku, which was pretty good! It's like this sticky dough made of rice flour and some other ingredients, and you put sweet bean paste in it. Other things were available to put in it as well if you didn't like sweet bean paste like strawberries, whipped cream, bananas, and chocolate.
When my group went into the kitchen to make daifuku, we almost made the microvave explode. There were sparks flying everywhere!...actually, it was just that the saranwrap covering the bowl touched the microwave door while the stuff was cooking, and there were a few sparks. XD Overall, it was a good experience.
Afterwards, I went with three girls that I met: Noel, Chanae, and Maura to a restaurant to eat Takoyaki! It was sooo goood!!! I got french fries, ice cream, and a drink with mine for a meal. The owner of the restaurant was so nice that he cooked us a giant plate of yakisoba, and he also made us takoyaki tacos, which were actually quite good, for free!
Basically, a takoyaki taco is two balls of takoyaki in an orange shell that looks like orange styrofoam, only it's edible and made out of rice, and then there's the sauce, mayonnaise, rice crispies, and green stuff (onions?) on top.
Then yesterday, I went to an Indian restaurant for the first time, and I decided that I really didn't like Indian food that well...but, I used to not like mexican food, and now, I like it...maybe ten years from now, I'll like Indian food. However, I was given a free mango milkshake (now, remember, milkshakes here are like milk, ice, and flavoring), so that was good!
After school, I went with Heather, Noel, and a new person Don to Hirakata-shi station. We looked for CDs again, and I got two more for a cheap price! Afterwards, we went shopping at an anime store and ate crepes! Side note: Crepes are so much better with ice cream!
After eating crepes and going to the anime store, we went to the grocery store, and I wasn't planning to buy anything until I found dumplings!!! There was a set of either 5 dumblings or 8, and I honestly had to mentally debate which to buy. Of course, I went with eight! Then, the cashier gave me two pairs of chopsticks because apparently it's supposed to be for two.
XDAnyway, that's all that has been going on. Thanks for reading my blog, and have a good week!
