Hey, y’all! Luis here, and today I’m going to talk a little about women’s wrestling in Japan! The biggest ‘Joshi’ promotion in Japan is named Stardom! The reason why Stardom is so great, besides having simply the best women wrestlers on the planet is that the shows are very small, so it has a really personal feel to it. Interactions with the superstars are always welcome during matches, and even afterwards! After every show, we fans have the opportunity to meet our favorite wrestlers for a photo op and you can talk/mingle with them! I go pretty often to these, and my favorite at the moment is 22 year old ほしきありさ Arisa Hoshiki, for such a young age she is very popular and talented!

みなさんこんにちは。

今週末は英検の試験日ですね。受ける人たちは今までの成果を頑張って出してきてください！

大学受験にも英検が大きく関わって来るようになりました。今のうちから何回も受けておいて慣れておくといいかもしれませんね。

朗報を期待しています！

Sometimes Missy Elliot is a Sulky Elliot. Okay, I say sometimes. Often. Every day, basically. She’s very deprived, as we all know. We will play fetch literally until she can no longer stand, and she just collapses on the ground. But then five minutes later, she’ll finally manage to stand again, and she’ll start haranguing you to play tug o’ war, even though she’s still panting so much that she can’t even hold the hedgehog in her mouth. And you’ll say, “No, Missy. Drink some water, Missy. Lay down and rest, Missy.” And she’ll give you this wounded look, like you’re actively torturing her.

She’s a literal puppy, and, boy, is she wont to use those puppy-dog eyes on you. And she absolutely gets away with it, too. Look at that adorable niecey baby!! Why is everyone so mean!? Sulky Elliot only wants all the fetch and all the tug o’ war and all the popcorn and all the belly rubs, and she wants them all NOW!

She’s lucky she’s so cute!

みなさん、こんにちは。

１０月がやってきて、いよいよ秋の訪れを感じる季節になって参りましたね。

この季節がとくに好きな人も多いのではないでしょうか？

旧暦で言うと10月は神無月ですね。この月に全国の神様が出雲大社に集まり、各地を留守にするためそう呼ばれるらしいですね。

今週末はいよいよ今年度の二回目の英検一次試験ですね。受験するみなさん、神頼みはもしかしたら今回は効き目がないかもしれませんが、自分を信じで頑張ってくださいね！

写真は、我が家の窓にへばりついていた小さなモリアオガエルです。あなたは爬虫類、好きですか？苦手ですか？

英語名は、Forest Green Tree Frogと言われるそうです。
