Party-sensee, take it easy

For those impatiently awaiting a new sequel to the Nishishinjuku’s Brave New World series, here’s a quick update on what’s been going on in the hood – who’s been rising and who’s been falling, who’s in, and who’s out, who’s become like totally smokin’, and who’s become like totally not.

Hailey seems to have turned into the new sex-bomb – at least as voted by the Sun Academy’s faculty. She replaced Mint who’s been trying really hard to re-establish herself (even purchasing, upon Heidi’s mean encouragement, a bright colored cap titled as “B.O.M.B.). Well, zannen desu. Hailey’s steeping up on the sex-appeal ladder has been more frantic than Stan’s attempts to recruit as many Nishishinjukes as possible for his Beatles-extravaganza. Hailey has been just smashing and dashing. Party-sensee started to refer to her as “ero-kawai” – (for those uncognizant of Japanese colloquialism: erokawai means erotically cute….whoawhoawhoa, Party-sensee, take it easssssyyyy…..). The conservative Republican-sensee started employing Hailey as an example of inappropriately dressed young lady, when she referred to her as “sexy-sugiru” – the little verbal addition “sugiru” usually stands for something that is “too much” – such as tabesugiru , to overeat or takasugiru, too expensive. In this case, Hailey was referred to as WAAAAAAYYYY too sexy. We should keep an eye on Hailey just to see where her star is rising. As of now, she can’t really rise that much higher.

Talking about Mint, one shouldn’t forget to mention that recently she’s been having insomnia issues. Whether from too much fun or too little sleep (wait….or from both?), Mint seems to have been having a certain difficulty staying awake during class time. Oddly enough, even upon being questioned by the caring teachers, Mint has been responding with a simple one word “DAIZYOOOOOOBU” often returning to the sleepy land of the light blue manga sky. Some, however, have been getting little worried about Mint’s incapacity to stay awake, especially after she satisfiedly slept through a visit to the Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Some have overheard Kajikawa-sensee murmuring for herself “one of these days, I’ll hit the girl really hard.” Well, let’s hope she won’t. We don’t really wanna see Mint take another tumble, do we?

Some of Nishishinjukes have been making dramatic progress in Japanese. Many are capable of forming extremely complicated and meaningful sentences. One of the most skillful ones appear to be Devin, Benny and, here we go again, Mint. Devin is now capable of saying “When I enter the bed, the sleep arrives.” Benny can say “After I eat, the hunger goes away.” Nevertheless, Mint seems the most linguistically talented – now she can say “Watasi wa sitsumon zya nai desu – I am not a question.”

Well, enough is enough. This week, kudos go to Hailey for becoming Nishishinjuku’s new sex idol, to Devin and Benny for making dramatic advances in Japanese and, not to forget, to Mint for being a total

B.O.M.B.
