Who skipped out of work early...

... by accident?  ME!

Yeah, I thought it was 4:30 and so I left.  No one gave me a weird look or stopped me and I didn't realize til I got home and I was like, "4:10?  They don't have daylight savings in Japan!"

Oops!

Like I need another obsession.

I just finished reading Twilight.  It took me a grand total of 2 days.  And I just ordered the next one from Kinokuniya.  I don't know if there is a way to check instore stock or which stores have it on that website and I didn't really feel like hunting.  Plus they let you pay C.O.D. (for a 200 yen charge) instead of furikomi or credit card so I said what the hell.  And its only 1600-something.  I don't know when it will arrive but I should make sure I have cash in the house for it.  :D  Then I can pass it on to Andrew when I'm done with it.  Or maybe regift it for Christmas.  There are a total of 4 books in the series and a draft of the fifth got leaked on the internet so she decided not to publish it (yet).  If the next one (or three) are as addictive as this one... I almost feel ripped off when I pay 20$ for a book and am done it in 2-3 days.  Luckily I borrowed the first for free.  I really wonder if its just going to be three more books of "Change me!  I love you!"  "No, I won't!  But we'll be together forever!".  But no sex.  Because the author is mormon.  I think her intended audience are "young adults" so definitely no sex.  Poo.  We'll see how New Moon pans out.

My computer is being stupidly slow and I don't know why.  I even restarted it today.  I guess I need to do a spyware scan and clean up the registry.  It's starting to piss me off.

Keigo's mom wants to end our lessons. :(  My last lesson with him will be on December 17th.  I can't believe it's been over a year!  She said she wants him to concentrate more on his cram school and I guess English isn't that much of a priority.  I understand that.  I was starting to get the feeling like... he was bored?  He wasn't very into it this week.  And I'm not a real teacher.  I don't know what I should be teaching him or even how.  So it's probably for the best.  I will miss him though.  And the extra 200~250$ a month.  I just hope he keeps reading and can hold on to his English until he gets to middle school (not that school in Japan actually teaches kids anything) and that he keeps an interest in it enough to become fluent.  It was a great job.

Now that I've finished the book... what else do I have to do?  Write my own!  lol  I've been itching to write another chapter of Equilibrium.  But just haven't got the energy.  It feels like I've done a shitton of writing recently.  I'm definitely excited to see the feedback I get from je_ficgames and je_holiday.  :D
