iPod morning commute music: The Mamas and the Papas, Creeque Alley, disc 1 (1991)
Yes, I really did listen to Monday Monday this morning. I wrote about disc 2 of this greatest hits package before, so no need to repeat much. Good, happy music, perfect for a Monday morning commute.
Yesterday was spent finishing up two short papers for the Osaka Private Schools English Teaching Associations (OPSETA) in-house journal. The first, on the Japan Association of Language Teachers (JALT) conference which I attended last fall (and which, indirectly, led me to starting this blog), and the second on a lecture the OPSETA sponsored last spring on Extensive Reading. Both were late, but I really had been busy with the British visitors and the start of term.
This year's OPSETA lecture will be this Wednesday, on Immersion programs here in Japan. I met the speaker at last year's JALT Conference and recommended him to the group. I know he's a good speaker, and the topic is relevant, but it sounds like the program won't be very well attended. It's hard to get teachers out in the middle of the week, especially for an afternoon event.
Lunchtime! Have to run.

Cant trust that day.
Sounds like youve been having an up and down time recently Craig, with the sickness in the house and having to work on a Saturday. Thats rough. Booking a holiday is also tough in Japan, leave it till now and the flights are almost fully booked. Very frustrating. Ah well. Nice to be able to have a holiday.
Yeah, well, working the occasional Saturday is part of the job. It would be nice to get out of Japan for a holiday this summer, but I can't say yet. Just have to wait.
