Chiyo Junior High's staff room is pretty much like any other.

Teachers at work.
Today I had four classes. Some 3-nensei and a few 1-nensei including one visited by Chiyo Elementary's teachers, but only for a few brief moments. Genki as always. I had a busy but good day.

When I first started at Chiyo, I asked Satou-sensei if he had a ruler. He came back from the supplies office with a meter stick. His sense of humor is wonderful.

The kosoku bus stop at Chiyo, eastbound for Kokura/Kitakyushu. That's 1,300 yen a day. And yes, it's literally right next to the highway.
Once I was home today I (once again) picked up a quick/easy bento for dinner and turned on the TV.

For the second day in a row I caught a drama (of sorts) that starts around 5pm on TV. From what I can gather, it revolves around a company and these office women. It's over the top and overacted. But I could actually understand some of it from time to time. Today's episode was great - I could understand more of their dialogue.

Of the six women, she seems to be the chief of sorts. I've seen her on various TV programs and I won't hide the fact that I think she is ultra sexy. It must be her voice, or just the fact that she comes off as extremely assertive and confident. What's her name?
It's London Hearts time tonight - last week there was an odd special about Ryo's marriage. So I am wondering if they'll return to the normal list of wacky blackmail.
Hey! It's shomuni final! or one of the shomuni series. They showed it here in LA on the Japanese channel though no subtitles so I had a hard time following too.. ^_^ hehe..
I think her name is Makiko Esumi - I saw her also in Overtime with Sorimachi Takahashi (GTO fame).. hehe
Hope you're doing well in Japan!! ^_^
Is that Esumi Makiko? I think she used to play volleyball before she became an actress.
That's her alright, after confirming a Google search with that name. Glad to know that people knew right off the bat.
