Shonan Festival ' 07!

Friday was the first day of the school festival,with stage performances involving lots of girls dancing and some boys dressing up as girls. It was short and sweet, finishing around 2, but I ended up staying at school until 7.30pm, practicing with Natto and making t-shirts for our Saturday performance. We worked out an excellant opening routine, involving me and Murakami prancing on to the stage to the "Numa" song, a Romanian pop song by "O-zone" ("miahi! miahu! miaha! miahaha!") - apparently its big in Japan. You can listen to the song here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfiVc0X9Ewc- its so great!!

Our performance on saturday went perfectly, including the prancing onto the stage to Romanian pop music. In fact everyone in the music club did really well- despite nerves beforehand- so all were very happy afterwards. The rest of the festival was great fun, with old teachers turning up (Miyoshi sensei, and Kagawa sensei!!), excellant yakitori and cheap takoyaki, and lots of attention thanks to my dashing good looks and funky dress sense (also being the only foreigner at the festival helped). You can listen to the "Official Festival Song", Million Films by Kobukuro, here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7BZdNU3fXI

Oh Steven, how gutted you must be.

You were one Zat-Knight-on-the-post away from nicking a dramatic derby victory and raking in a pile of dosh and instead, Villa bomb up the field like the lovable little scamps they are and nick the win.

What an absolute shoeing in the swingers! Did you get chance to watch the game?

Blouse started strong but were mostly rubbish in the first half. They were the better team second half though.

Anyway, on the bright side, things could be worse. You could be bottom of the Championship and not looking like moving off it any time soon...

Lets keep the commments to the posts please. I have no desire to pick over how ROBBED we were of 3 points by a shit referee. I haven't overlooked the fact that Ridgewell might actually be a Villa "mole" either- planted in the Blues team to score o.g.'s at opportune moments...

Grrr. And to top it all I had Chelsea winning in my "safe" accumulator...
