Wow, I am currently experiencing the most amazingly, thoroughly calm and collected mood I've had in a long time. Makes me realize how rare it's been for a while now for me not to have some kind of emotional pain eating at my stomach. Not really worrying, believing that everything will in fact turn out alright... wish I knew how to achieve a state ( Read more... )

Ok, this is both hilarious and... just awesome. It's a bunch of accounts of daily happenings in one guy's life doing the JET program and... it's quite funny, but also has somehow given me a big confidence boost about life in general, reading through it. Probably just another time I feel like I've been given new confidence for living and enjoying ( Read more... )

Being in my room is boring and bleh. I've resolved to spend time every day out somewhere doing something, mostly probably just wandering around. Today I had a test in grammar class, which I was expecting to be a bit difficult since I hadn't studied much at all... but thank goodness it was all multiple choice, and while I may have made a few ( Read more... )

Today was very warm and nice... had me in a very good mood. ^_^ Right now I'm watching stuff about E3 on the news. 以上。

Oh, and please no one spoil me about anything in Episode III... I will be seeing it July 9th when it comes out in Japan. >_

So I made pancakes for dinner tonight. I got the mix not long after I came here, so I've had it a while but never got around to making any. They tasted kinda funny, a bit too sweet, but I'll just attribute that to the mix, not my inability to make pancakes (even I can make pancakes, apparently ( Read more... )

Ok, I've added the pictures from the last month at my photobucket. Includes mainly pictures of sakura at Shinjuku Gyoen and pictures of the endless sea of buildings where I live from Tokyo Tower's 150m observatory. Nothing much else to report at the moment.

Man, people are sure being loud for a Thursday night. I on the other hand am doing various relaxing things besides finishing my homework, because I was feeling stressed out for some reason. Well, not much homework left to do anyway. I really should start putting more effort into it, that'd probably slightly reduce the amount of red on the stuff I ( Read more... )

Wow, so I went to bed at like 9:00 last night and didn't really get up until 10:00 this morning. I did wake up at 11, 1:30, 4:30, and about every hour starting at 6, but going back to bed is nice. I should start sleeping more, it might be an overall good thing. (Although right now I'm tired from too much sleep... it's been so long since I've slept ( Read more... )

For any who are interested, my parents were in Williamsburg yesterday and took some pictures of the J-house. They're up at my photobucket. They were taken with my old digital camera, so they're not the clearest pictures. Anyway, seeing those helped me to get some sense of finality about it all... I'd seen the pictures of the fire but nothing of it ( Read more... )

So, I just got off the phone with Priss, Bay, Kevin and Jen. Used up a 1010 yen phone card and a bunch of Priss's cell phone minutes (sorry!) but man, it was really nice to talk to all of them. I'd really been wanting a chance to talk to them since Wednesday. They were hanging out at the Governor's Inn and it sounded like they were having good deal ( Read more... )
