An end of an era?

Today went by a little too fast. I wanted to take a picture with Otsuka-san because she's a sweetheart and is retiring but I was too caught up in organizing my shit and cleaning out my desk. I wrote her a letter thanking her for taking care of me (I'm so Japanese) and gave her one of the mushi-pan I made last night. They taste better on the second day.

Andrew's been a busy bunny, organizing and co-ordinating our trip. We're going to take a tour to the demilitarized zone on the border of North Korea. Ben wants to go to the gay clubs (because he doesn't do anything else). We'll do a couple palaces and of course, shopping! We're going to meet up on Wednesday night to make an itinerary.

I decided to read je_secrets for kicks. I'm bad, I hotlink.

( God, this is so true. )

That's enough. I kind of want to nap now. It's only 6pm. What am I going to make for dinner?

I want to buy

Arashi doujinshi. But I feel so lame doing it. It's such a crap shoot. (I should sell back the stuff I bought before... or auction it off?) Though I have learned the name of the circle I like (includes HanaKimi's mangaka!) but I think they are quite popular so the store wouldn't have any. They are also more expensive because of that I think (starting from 1000yen). It's only in Ikebukuro so it's not a horrible trek and they even have lots of goods for cheap (DANGER). Maybe I'll go in April for a personal shopping day.

I haven't moved from yet since getting home. I don't know what I'm going to cook for dinner. I have chicken breasts but nothing else to make with them. They need to be cooked because they are going to go bad. Maybe I'll chop them up and make nuggets... though I don't have any eggs or yogurt to coat them with. I guess I have to go to the conbini after all. :/

They already went bad.

Bad karma?

So I went to play some Animal Crossing and my game had disappeared. So I started a new one but it said "Cannot save. Restart and reinsert cartridge" and then my old game was back.

I opened up Thunderbird to compulsively check for Lydia's love letter that she said she was sending and all my settings and mail were gone. It and Firefox update automatically and usually everything is fine. NOT COOL, HIGHER BEING. I ain't havin' it. Not that there was anything super important but I have stuff there that I don't have saved in the Gmail website inbox (what is that called anyway?).

I am quite cross about this.

I also have a big zit on my chin. I'm not 15. What the hell is going on.

To stay up til 12 or to sleep. That is the question.

Unearthed from the bowels of hell

I am downloading all my mail again from Gmail. All the mail I've sent from 2005. Some of my old essays that I sent to profs/friends are coming up. Holy crap. Maybe I'll post the good ones.
