Reflection

It's the first of September, I've been here for one month.  I can hardly believe it.  I doesn't feel like it's been a month yet... It's a weird feeling because this is the first year in sixteen years that I won't be starting school in September.  I'm going to miss it.  If you haven't noticed by skimming through my last couple entries, I'm pretty wordy and pedantic and like to write (which is why I've decided to write a book one day about living in Japan, using this blog as notes) and would probably be suited to a life of academia.  It must suck being a writer though sometimes, because even now I don't get as much feedback as I would like.  Maybe its because Vox is totalitarian and makes people sign up in order to post comments (my bad for not doing my research on blogs, but it was pretty!).  Jon so subtly told me "Brevity is the soul of wit" so I must not be that witty.  Pity.  I can rhyme though! 

Anyway... I'm chalking it up to the impending doom of school for the reason that I haven't heard a peep from a great number of people I would like to hear from and try not to think I've been black listed.

On a brighter note - Nikki and I were recommended to this delicious South East Asian restaurant in Kashiwa that makes the most delicious green curry I've ever had.  Although, they don't serve pad thai which you would think is a staple Thai dish.  But delicious, and cheap!  We also were entertained by some local talent at the train station.  I had actually been watching him for about 10 minutes while waiting for Nikki after work, playing his guitar outside the station.  He sang some English songs, Aerosmith and Green Day, and we waved to him on our way off to dinner, since obviously I had been watching for so long.  And I kind of stand out, being the only white person around.  He was still there when we came back from dinner, so we stopped and listened to "She Loves You" and talked a bit and then made our way home.  Being the creeper I am, I plugged his name into Google to see what would come up.  Found his website, left him a nice complimentary note on his blog, and will probably see him next week since he plays there every Wednesday and Friday.
