So I have been trying to read today. It's a pain in the ass. My reading speed is probably only average in English, so my reading speed in Japanese is horrendous. I'm thinking of giving up for the evening after a couple more pages, since I'll be up till 4am otherwise, not the way I would like to spend my weekend It looks like I'll finish after ( Read more... )

I've been on irregular sleep patterns lately, against my will, though nothing is physically prohibiting me from sleeping regularly. It's been a week of erraticness and extremely difficult mornings half the time for at least 2 weeks now. Seriously... what the fuck? Something I ate? Mind too preoccupied ( Read more... )

Slightly disturbed. Didn't realize it until after the fact that I had a breif encounter with a drug junkie this evening near a bookstore (which I was using) in Shinjuku. First reaction was "OMG, fucker's rabid" when I noticed (subtly, wasn't pointing/staring at it or anything) an unusual amount of saliva build up as he spoke - I'm surprised it ( Read more... )

I may get ventilation at best, it might even be making my room colder than not using it ( Read more... )

Fun night last night, or at least the first half of it. Started off with just gathering in a bar, which was proceeded by all-you-can-drink Kareoke. Kareoke was a lot of fun! We were a group of 16 (at the start anyway, some people had bail for last train while we were there), and as such a massive group, we got some special treatment. I love ( Read more... )

"Requiem of a Dream" is some seriously fucked up shit. At the end of it, reflecting back on it, "scary" is a good word for it, although that word probably would not come to mind as you are watching it. Not something for the depressed, however, something I would say everyone should see (particularly in high school (um, no, that is not a pun)). ( Read more... )
