Sorry no pictures.
Last night I stopped by another teacher's house before going out for chinese food (not a buffet but still pretty good). Anyways, he was watching a reality TV show. I think that the Japanese really had a good, if not strange thing here.
The premise was simple. 4 people living in an existing apartment w/ jobs and lives (not together). The goal is who can live off of about 100 or less for a month.
They must cook, and go to work as far as I can tell, beyond that they are free.
Last night they had three people left, a woman ( whose claim to fame is having nice boobs), and 2 men (both comedians).
The one guy looks like he's gone totally robinson curuso (sp?), living in a shack with a chicken that he bought at the beginning of the show. One week he splurged, because his chicken laid an egg. He called a friend (about .12$) and just shouted into the phone, "comeover, my chicken laid an egg!" then hung up. HUH?! He spends most of his time snorkling in the surf for food that is entirely undigestable, but amazingly entertaining. Just goes to show, anything tastes good when fried. He deepfried an entire shark once!
At any rate the foods they make (other than the guy out of Gilligan's island) are great!..what's more, a whole meal can cost as little as .65$!? wow.
These people have to pay all aspects of life (except rent), so gas, electric, water everything. Usually the difference at the end of a month is less than .50$ but still they don't look any worse for wear. What a great idea..sure I didn't understand a word of it, but I sure laughed when the guy burst out of his shack with a wetsuit, spear, mask and snorkle with a chicken on his shoulder screaming at the ocean. I hope his chicken lays another egg personally.
EVIL has a name..
it's my 2nd section of 9th graders
I decided to show my 9th grade classes (2 sections) the movie Sleepy Hollow (based loosely--VERY LOOSELY on the legend of Sleepy Hollow).
Its Johnny Depp and he's the rage with the girls now (thanks to that Pirate qwatch recently). Plus its bloody, gore-filled and the boys will like the pushup 3D tops the women wore back in the late 1800's. So anyways, my 2nd section which is the energetic and happy section of my two classes that have notouble to motivate and always bring up my spirit were absolutely grossed out by the flix..on the other hand, my section 1 class which is usually the one that puts me to sleep despite gallons of caffeine and even the best lesson plan just loved it and with every spray of blood and every lopped off head there were
GIGGLES?!
They are truly evil.
