• HILARITY: so we seem to communicate with each here in tokushima largely by email.  we re in this yahoo group.  so its like a mass blitz list.  at first it wouldnt let me write to everyone because i have a nickname when signed up so i had to go back and give the whole damned address so that i could send as well as receive the msgs.  but lets talk about my auto reply.  i guess everyone has been getting it when they send a msg out.  no one said anything.  HA. aki got it to his cell phone when he sent me a pic.  everyone gets confused because they think it didnt go thru.  they re only used to getting a reply when something goes wrong.  but here s the HILARITY--someone did finally ask me about it and brought up the fact that everyone will be reading my xanga now since the address was in the auto reply. now, this is fine as stated in the prior disclaimer, i will do what i wanna on this thing.  but its kind of funny.  i dont think it would be too interesting for anyone in my same prefecture since they were there for all that.  and the rest is just a window into my seething brain.  some  may not want to go there.  it can get scary.  scott seems surprised, as if i share more here than i would in person.  well, that may be true because if you were really here, i wouldnt be THIS bored and i might forget to tell you about the old ladies on scooters.  or you would ve seen it for yourself and i would say something at that moment.  right?  im not crazy.  i swear.  so HELLO TOKUSHIMA, it seems that this would be pointless to read, but go on!  leave a comment or let me know you re reading.  I DARE YA! 

  
  

  GRAMMAR: i write here as i speak leaving out caps and puncuation often, but would "until my hunger gets too bad" sound weird if i said it to you?  i have to admit i dont see how to correct it if it is wrong.  surely not eloquent, but its def not "badly" because im descibing the noun hunger not a verb right?  its not like "you play good" and " you play well" right?  no offense taken, im just perplexed.  jimmy?  dianne?  scott?  HELP!  if anything i think that studying linguistics made my grammar far worse.  way to go.
