That's the second earthquake we've had here in the last four days. Yeek! On Sunday there was a 5.1 in southern Ibaraki-ken, about 55 km north-eastish of here, and then just now there was a 6.2 off the coast of Ibaraki-ken (I think north eastern Ibaraki this time). Both were 40 km underground. The one on Sunday hit my area stronger, but this one ( Read more... )

d00d, Mejiro rocks. And my scholarsipe foundation rocks. And getting a months's worth of free transportation in tokyo really rocks. And I'm not really drunk, just kinda tipsy and too lazy to fix my typos. Yamachan da banking millionaire covered for us.. but if it was up to him I think we'd still be out drinking rather than home getting ready to ( Read more... )

I woke up at 7:10 am (was supposed to wake up at 6:30), left at 8 am to meet up with JASP and ICC people to go to Tokyo Disneyland.. and I didn't get back home until after midnight. Spent the WHOLE DAY walking around Disney.. it was fun, but I'm exhausted now, and I have to get back up early again so I can meet up with everyone again for the karate ( Read more... )

And I'm online again! Thank god!! *kisses the internet floor many times ( Read more... )

w00t! So far everything is working out great. I woke up at 6:30 am and hauled ass over to Higashi Kurume Station on the Seibu-Ikebukuro line. The Leopalace Center was actually really close to the station, so I had no problem finding my way there. Yay. I got there at exactly 9 am, but was told that the guy who is in charge of keys hadn't arrived yet ( Read more... )

Okay, this should be the last of the monster catch-up posts and bring you all up to date with the present. From here on I can HOPEFULLY start updating like a normal person again. And maybe even actually write about my observations on Japan and stuff, rather than trying to get everything that I've been doing down and having no time for anything else ( Read more... )

I'm sitting on Eric's bed right now. Neither of us had anything planned for today (the shock!) and I didn't really like the idea of spending the whole day in my dorm.. so, well.. here I am. Hopefully I can find something to do tomorrow to get me out of the dorm for at least part of the day, and then Monday I move out and into my apartment! THANK ( Read more... )

I just want to let the browncoats and firefly fans out there know that I envy you with the passion of 1000000 suns for being in the US for the Serenity premiere later today. The passion of 1000000 SUNS damnit. I've read on forums that there's a huge party planned for San Francisco and I SO wish I could be there, but I'm stuck in Tokyo. *sobs ( Read more... )

My back aches right now. I can't wait until I move into my apartment and possibly have an ACTUAL mattress to sleep on rather than this 2-inch thick piece of crap at Sakura House. My feet also ache, seeing as how in just two weeks I've managed to walk enough to wear holes completely through the padding on the back part of my shoes. Go me ( Read more... )

At this rate I will /never/ catch up to the present. Everytime I think I'm going to have a good long stretch to sit around and type everything all out, something happens. Or else I'm too tired from all the things that have been happening. I'm trying, though! Really ( Read more... )
