So, I gotta say I'm a little sad, I just googled "no airplay" and I'm down to #7. At the peak, I was up to #2... what's up? Maybe because I haven't put up post in a while, or maybe I just need to talk more about the "Seattle sock job." That seems to help out most websites. Anyway, first I'll say a little something about why I haven't posted anything, and then I'll move onto what I've been up to outside of that. So, the reason I haven't put up anything is because I've worked about 17 of the last 19 days and just really haven't had time, even on my days off I've been busy with laundry, cleaning, or entertaining the ladies... well, the lady at least. So I had such a hard go recently because of a couple of shift swaps that I did because of moving and K-1, but anyway, that's almost all been taken care of now, I do get three days off this week and that will end that whole thing, so, wahoo! I can't wait, on more half day of work and I've got my first consecutive days off in about a month and a half. wahoo!
Well, so the first thing I gotta talk about is the futsal tournament that my school was part of. Of course I(we) represent Gotanda, the best place in the Shinagawa ward of Tokyo, and we took on such famed locations as; Toranomon, Shinbashi, Oimachi, and Hibiya. Well, it was our first go round, and we ended up at 2 wins, and 2 losses, not a bad showing I'd say! We were pretty happy, but of course we would have liked to come away with the trophy (more on that later) Here's a group shot of the greatest team to ever take the pitch:
After an uneventful 9 days straight of working I finally got to spend some time with hunbun. We spent Friday night and Saturday together, and it was good. Friday night I made Mabodofu and we watched "The Amazing Race" and on sunday I made breakfast, and then we watched "Ice Age 2" and in the evening hunbun made stew! What a great weekend!
Then there was today... what a crappy morning! 2 teachers called in sick and f'd up the schedule, but it wasn't too bad all-in-all. Anyway, this evening we all met up and went to a place in Shinbashi for a Nomihodai and Tabehodai. Japanese lesson! Well, something-hodai means "all you can." In this case, adding "tabe" makes it "all-you-can eat" and "nomi" means "all-you-can drink." Both of these combined to equal 3000 yen, or about $25. What a deal! and it was good stuff! Self-serve beer on tap, Sake, and Shochu, as much as you want, along with sushi, curry, beef, pork, chicken, french fries, freakin' what ever! It was great! Anyway, Great times, and the walk to station looked like this:
Anyway, at dinner, surprisingly, the trophy from the Futsal tournament made its way into our presence, here's kinda what it looked like:
Anyway, this week is gonna be great! Three days off, relaxed schedule, and just all around more time, the one thing that I am a bit sad about is that A.O.S. is gonna head home soon. Several other teachers are gonna go home for the holiday's but, A.O. S. will only be coming back for month after the break, it's too bad, gonna miss ya man!

17 outta 19 days at NOVA...why were you trying to play the hero like that?! You could've done some irreversible damage.
Damn that Seattle Sockjob to hell! I'm still getting hits...sockjobs must be a magnet for spammers. Hey, how about a little experiment to see how high u can bump No Airplay up in the Google results? I'm still learning too, but try some of these tips out:
First, you have to use the term, No Airplay, a little more in your posts. Not too much though, or Google will think ur spamming.
Second, anchor text in links. Maybe u know this story already, but if u don't, try this out...do a Google search for the term:
miserable failure
Look who comes up #1. Ha ha! Somebody got "google bombed" buddy! All that needed to be done was for a bunch of sites to link to his webpage with links containing the text: miserable failure
So even the link in your forum signature should have your preferred keywords in it. On Uncut, ur sig in the BB Code looks like:
[url]http://noairplay.blogspot.com[/url]
Try changing it to:
[url=http://noairplay.blogspot.com]No Airplay[/url]
The higher the page rank value of the site, the more power a link from that site has to give u a boost. A link in a forum sig doesn't have much value, but it's better than nothing IMO.
You also wanna get some links from some respectable sites that've been around awhile, cause they carry more weight. So next thing is, trade some links with other sites/blogs.
Do a search for, "Japan links" or "Japan blogs" and submit at some places. Your blog has a lot of posts, so they'll totally accept you. Don't trade too many links at once though! A couple a week should be cool. (I heard Google doesn't like 2 see 100 links appear on a site suddenly, cause they think it's spam)
This site will automatically trade links from ur blog to other Japan blogs: http://www.japanbloggers.com/
Also, bail that extra link you have going to the same page of the Moon Masters...it's just leaking extra page rank without you getting an extra link in return.
Ha ha, just a few tips for the cause, but I've got some more if ur interested. This comment already went too long!
Try them out when you've got some free time on ur hands. Then wait and see what happens.
