Today the principal overheard a conversation I was having with Kae about me returning to America. He interjected by saying that I didn't have to return. I could stay in Japan forever. In fact, he has an open room in his house that I can stay in for free - forever. I can't tell if he's kidding. I don't think he wants me to go.
Speaking of forever, despite the insistence of the girls in brass band, the "official" music room fish are not sleeping, or resting, or taking a break, or on vacation. They're dead. They're floating belly up over murky water. Some of them are decomposing. It's not pretty. I just noticed it today, but god knows how long they've been floating there. I think the filter broke - or someone shut it off. I accused Aiko of killing them. She yelled at me, "Sleeping!". After much arguing, we compromised - they're sleeping forever. For eternity.
