Bleach :)

Hey :)

I doubt anybody will watch it, but as we are supposed to post sites that can help you improve your English I will post it anyway xD
I'm currently watching a series called Bleach (yeah the name doesn't make sense.. I know xD), it is a Japanese anime about a boy (Ichigo) who meets a girl (Rukia). Rukia is a Soul Reaper, she seeks Hollows (souls who have turned into monsters) and sends them back to the Soul Society (a place from where the souls can return to earth). Ichigo gets her powers and becomes a Soul Reaper as well, and discovers that his powers are exraordinary high. It's a really cool series, with lots of humour, you can watch it either in Japanese or in English. There are 250 episodes, so you'll never be bored again haha ^^
This is the site:

(Btw: Subbed means Japanese with English subtitles and Dubbed means English without subtitles. There are different sources, so you can watch movies from megavideo.com or from jwplayer. That way every computer can play the videos. If you scroll down, you'll see 'Bleach Episode 1-10' etc, if you click on it you must scroll down to click in Episode 1.)

Well, have fun ^^ I'm watching Episode 22 now (so I still have a long way to go xD)
Yours,
Evy

Do you think that these might be good kick-offs for a project?

See y'all in class next week.

Story

Well I had to write a story for today which as you all know I forgot, but I've got a good reason I think, because I had a long day of school and then I had judo. So I'm going to write about what we did with judo.

Well we started a bit different than usual, because we started with 3 "randori ne waza"s instead of a warming-up. I know you're wondering what the hell a randori ne waza is, well it's a judo match in which you may only use techniques on the ground so no standing. It kinda looks like this (you might want to turn on some music, because the sound makes no sense):



And then we started learning a new technique step-by-step, which was both usefull and boring. I forgot the name already but it was a "ma-sutemi". This a technique that's quite risky, because if you mess it up you're on your back and your opponent gets a point.

After learning this technique we did one normal randori. After the randori we had to put all the mats (?) on the carts, so we could put them in my teacher's trailer. I did something stupid then, because I tried to stop on of the carts by putting my foot in front of a wheel and that hurt a lot.

This is my story I hope you didn't fall asleep whilst reading it...

Hey

So, as you are about to find out, I am not that inspired either..
Well, not that you care, but yesterday I had my first training that I could endure until the end. Because I have been ill for more than a week, I have to take it easy. But yesterday, it went really well and I completed the whole training.
And finally I have a question for you. What is your favorite sport?
I know this message is not really interesting or something, but I can't think of something better.
And I had to write a story so here it is.. :P

Music

Hello,
We were supposed to write a story or sth.
But I haven't got any inspiration and it's really late.
So I'm sorry but I would like to sleep:P
I couldn't write this sooner because I got home and had to go again.

Maybe you would like to tell me your favorite song because I like music so much?
Or your favorite movie?

See you later at school.
(Sorry by the way for this stupid message but ok...)
