Had a walk down memory lane lately with my sis, watching "Labyrinth" after we picked up the CD soundtrack to it for super cheap at Tower (I had actually bought the DVD at Wal*Mart a year or two back) Despite me knowing that it *should* not be a good movie, I can't help still liking it after all these years >.>;; Which also brings me to the ( Read more... )

just thought that to myself when I saw the form for posting to livejournals on my desktop... if you needed any indication of how long it's been since I've posted. Life is... calm- but not in a bad way. Back in the states and adjusted to being normal. I think in a way I've fallen in love with the Bay Area as my home again after living here and there ( Read more... )

Yesterday, 5/29, was the national holiday "midori no hi", which literally means "Day of Green" but is actually just a celebration of the late shouwa era emperor`s birthday. I wasn`t exactly productive, but the weather was really pretty. the strong winds of nagoya are a lot more pleasant when it is warm outside and they aren`t so biting. Then I went ( Read more... )

I`m on the internet, which inevitably means I`m at Nanzan University, on a Saturday afternoon. Blllah >( I`ve never claimed to be a particularly great writer, well- it`s more like I have zero natural talent, but after going through a pretty thorough education I couldn`t possibly suck entirely. Anyways, for our final business paper we were supposed ( Read more... )

Okay, I realize that day 105 isn`t particularly cool, and that day 100 last Saturday would`ve been-- but my friend who arrived later is keeping track of the days, so day 105 it is... wow ( Read more... )

Ugh, okay- this rain can stop now, really. I don`t want to count how many days on the last few weeks have been rain. It`s supposed to keep up like this until Monday as well. At least it`s warm- but looking outside the window makes me feel depressed ( Read more... )

Okay, okay- so I went hiking in Mie prefecture, in this place called "Yu no yama onsen" which literally means "Mountain of Hot Water hot springs" although it was definitely hot, and wet- it was sure no onsen. walked soooo much, first a 2 km warm-up to the base, then I don`t know how far (but it took hours) up the side of the mountain, and it ( Read more... )

Hrm, I think Spring in this country lasts for 2 weeks. 3 weeks ago I was shivering in a sweater, jacket, and extra fluffy socks sitting in my living room. Now in day the weather is really warm, I fear it`ll be too warm for long pants within the week. Which is kinda bad, `cuz wearing skirts in a country where few people weigh more than 55 kg is ( Read more... )

Booo... got kicked out of the lab by some guy who walked into the doorway, who said loudly in english "Are you in Ms. Hasegawa`s class? Then get out" grrr.... soooo rude. It was "Writing in English 1" I`m like, dude- I can audit that class >:P Seriously between today and yesterday, I`ve had broken for me any stereotypes that I had about the ( Read more... )
