okay,,, I think that says it all!
But I feel that I missed something,,,, Not being there, with the tons of fans, yelling and shouting, just reading stories and watching clips on the net,,, its nice, but not the same as being there.
so,,, I guess I will start talking about Japan again..

But wait,,, the Patriots are 8-0 with the colts game coming up,,,,,

As promised,,,,, Halloween pictures!
Here's some pictures I took today with my cell. When I get some more pictures from Aunt Miki's camara, I'll post them too!
Well, for most of the day, Uncle Billy was wearing the monkey-suit, but we finally got Tammy to wear it! 
Now, doesn't he look like he's having fun?
Me and Tammy! You really can't see my wings very well in the picture,,, maybe one of Aunit Miki's pictues are better. And before you ask, I really don't have any real costume, just somethings I bought that I thought would be funny/cute together,,, (even though I've lost weight, I couldn't find a costume I liked that fit me!!!!! The Japanese are too small!!!) But I really love my glasses!One down,,, Three more to go!
Okay, so Game One,,,, 13-1
RED SOX
Oh, that just sounds good!
But at some point during the 5th inning, I started to feel bad for the Rockies, I mean, come-on,,, it was starting to become a joke, especially after they walked in a run for the second time in a row. But even though they were winning 13-1, Uncle Billy was still trying to tease me saying, you know this game isn’t over yet,,, they could still loose, it is the Red Sox… Well, at least he’ll only be here in Japan for the first two games. I’ve been a Red Sox fan for too long not to take his words to heart.
Okay,,, so when did this become my Red Sox Blog?,,,
I might start with the Japanese stuff again soon,,,,,,,,

Halloween Pictures
I promise to put up some pictures of our Halloween week here soon, hopefully before the end of the week, but don’t hold your breath, you know me.
Some of the costumes the kids are wearing are sooo cute!

Red Sox are in the World Series!!!!!!!!
I love that I just typed that,,, it brings a smile to my face every time I even think about it! But get this, they didn’t show the game live!!!! I mean come-on,,, DiceK was pitching and everything,,, but no, they showed parts of the game a few hours after it was over. I had to teach Monday morning anyways, so even if it was on I couldn’t watch most of it. So when I was done teaching at Noontime, I used Aunt Miki’s computer and used espn.com’s gameday to find out the score. I’ve had a few adult students ask me how excited I am that the Red Sox are in the World Series,,,, I just smile and start to giggle. But again, I feel left out of all the excitement! I can watch all the celebrations online, but it’s not the same as actually being there.
At least Uncle Billy is going to America next week, so that’s one less person to use the TV that week so hopefully I can watch the World Series in peace. Also, he likes to tease me about my love of the Red Sox, (so rude! I don’t tease him about sumo!) and I don’t think I will be able to take his joking if things don’t go so well.

To buy or not to buy?
I saw these iPod cases the last time I was at the electronics store in Umeda, and had to stop my self from buying one of them. The one I liked the best was only for iPod nanos. But what do you think?
To buy or not to buy,,,,,,, that is the question. Whether it's better to have something cool looking or to have a fuller wallet,,,,
OK,,, give me a break, I was an English major.

i dunno anymore
Okay, I know I should put something here,,,, but right now, I dunno what? My favorite sister sent me a Halloween card that made me cry,,,. I’ve been kinda watching the Red Sox games, but somehow I’m always working when the games are on, so espn’s gameday is great,,, cause I’m too cheap to pay $10 to listen/watch a game…. Well, cheap isn’t the right word, right now, I feel if I go for it, it’ll be kiss of death,,, like a 50/50 thing, if I get it, the sox will only have one more game,,,,, and if I don’t,,,,,
,,

okay, I’ve been a Sox fan too long to actually say/type it, but you get the idea.
Tomorrow I think I’ll go into Osaka City for some shopping. I want to go to this department store, called “The Loft”. I’ve been told they have a great Halloween section. That and to the large Electronics store near there to look at external DVD players. I found out how to change the region on my laptop’s DVD player but I’m only allowed to change it 5 times before it won’t change any more. There’s probably a way of hacking it,,,, but I’m not that computer literate. This way I can rent movies here and play them on my laptop instead of waiting for the TV to be free (which it never is) and still be able to play the movies I brought with me.

I love the Red Sox, but this is crazy!
Watching the Red Sox games in Japan is making me crazy!!! I think/know NHK doesn’t think there are a lot of Red Sox fans (and they are kinda right) so they think they can do some crazy things with the game. Let me just start off saying they don’t do these things with yankee games; that just makes me mad! First, game one; it was aired at 11:30am, about 2 hours after it finished in Boston. So I knew the score before hand which took all the fun out it, so I turned it off.
Second, they aired game 2 live because DiceK was pitching, which is okay, I get that, he’s a big thing over here. Well, the game started off live, and then at 11:45am they stopped showing the game to show 30min of news. That’s okay, I had some lunch. So then at 12:15 the game started up again,,,, and STOPPED at one o’clock!!! So then I got mad, and looked in the newspaper to see when it was going to start again,,,, at 2:30! I took a nap and calmed down. At 2:30pm I turned on the TV to find they started the game from the beginning!!! I didn’t want to watch the same thing over again, so I flipped through the stations on the satellite, every once and a while checking back on the progress of the game. Finally it got to a point where I haven’t seen yet,,, only to find out that they skipped the bottom of the 7th and 8th innings! Nothing happened then, but still. Finally they showed the 9th inning and Manny being GREAT! Which almost made up for all that I went through!
Game three was just mean! It was aired at 9 o’clock AT NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I spent the morning keeping away from the computer because I knew if I went online I would find out the score, which ruined game one for me. But my curiosity won out and to my joy, 9-1 Boston! I watched some highlights of the game and the post game celebrations, and thought, I can watch this game. So I stayed up until the top of the 9th, when I knew it was all over and then went to bed, after all it was MIDNIGHT. It was strange staying up late to watch a game after all season watching the games in the morning.
I then spent the next few days wondering who I wanted to win the yankees / Indians series. Part of me wanted the Indians to win just to stick it to the yankees fans and to prove we can go farther than them, but then I thought, if the ALCS is against the yankees, then NHK will probably air the games live and without interruptions. But then the Indians kicked butt 8-3 and now everything is up in the air,,, I shutter to think what they will do to the games now.
OH and the only Patriots game they have aired here so far was against the bangles, which aired at 3AM!!! I love my Patriots, but that’s just insane!
