Bloody Monday... er, Wednesday

aideI am so excited about this drama. I just watched the first episode (an hour and a half! woo!) and Miura Haruma can totally have my babies. That kid has a grin to die for. What kills me is he's only 18. He's born in Heisei and that's where I draw the line. Sigh... I can at least admire is amazing acting. I can't wait for more of this drama. It's got that serious note that I was sort of expecting from Ryuusei no Kizuna. I wish I could read that book; I wonder if Higashino is translated into English. I don't think he's as popular as Murakami but I should try looking. I finished A Short History yesterday (I definitely recommend it!) so I'm looking for a new read. I've finished everything in my wee library.
Maybe I should go to bed and wake up earlier. I went to sleep at 9:45 last night and got up at 6 and I feel refreshed and productive. I could take a shower and actually eat breakfast (I love my new toaster oven!) and watch an hour of drama and mail myself some fics to read at work. And still have time to kill by writing this entry!
My fucking echeck finally cleared yesterday and my new Animal Crossing game is in the mail! Hopefully I have it by the end of the week but I don't know how fast HK mail is. I'm also waiting for mail from mom. And Kevin is about two months overdue for a letter but I knew it was too good to last with that boy. Maybe he'll get off his ass and write me after he gets my last "threatening" postcard. I'm feeling kind of neglected these days.
I'm having Amanda and Nikki over for dinner tonight. I'm trying this tara-pizza recipe and making burgers. I hope they like it. Amanda is flying out on the 18th but that weekend is going to be crazy. I have to work that Saturday (only 1 period) and that night is her supposed "surprise" leaving party and then I'm gone away to Nagano for a night and probably most of the Monday on the staff trip. I will go over to Shin-Matsudo and hang out that night, for sure because her last night. I hope (and kind of doubt she will) she doesn't make plans to go out or something. We kept saying we should go party in Abiko one last time but they both are whining about money and such so I don't think that's going to happen. I don't know if Nikki would be up for it eventually down the road either. They are both having so much grief with companies not paying finally month's salary, even though it's the law. It makes me really hesitant to leave in November next year if I'm going to lose out on my last month's pay. Even if I got half, it would be alright. I'd like to stay until the end of the term but I don't know how welcome I would be imposing on Andrew for a month and commuting from Tokyo to Kashiwa (if that's even where I am) every day. I wonder if the company would pay that. They say they pay up to 20,000 a month for transport. I will have to talk it out with Tatsuya if that's what I'm going to do. I need to make sure I keep in touch with Jun because I want him to write a recommendation for me for UBC. I wanted Steve Ng from Orientations to write my other because he loves me and I was with Orientations for 3 years but he's gone off to Toronto although, I'm sure he would still do it. Maybe I could ask Alex, my old boss from Nova, to write one even though I only worked at Nova for 2 months but I got great reviews from them. I really wonder what the results of my final evaluation were...
Ahh, I'm thinking too far ahead of myself again. I just need to try and get through November. It feels so busy even though there is only one full week (plus a day) for me. I have to think about my 6th grade lessons this Friday as well. It's another four lesson day today so I wonder how much I will get done. At least I am finished my round of anitbiotics so I'm not feeling sleepy all day.
This short entry turned into a monster. But I haven't written about life stuff in a while, I guess.
