So test84 mentioned I haven't blogged in a while. There are a few reasons for that. One, I've started a Japan blog at Threesome Hour and even keeping that updated has been a pain. I've been busy - a little with work, but mostly with friends and dates and the like.
Life in Japan is the same as it ever was - even up north, summer has taken full affect. Since real air conditioning is rare in this country, I am suffering through using my table fan now - I will put up my A/C in a day or two, but even then it's not like America's (admittedly wasteful) central air system. We had a nomikai last night, a drinking party for the Japanese language class. After dropping off Charlie, I got back to Roku and got home at about 4. Since there's no daylight savings time here, the sun was already coming up.
The summer festival season is starting soon too - I promised to go to a festival tomorrow with Kaori and then there's Tanabata on the 20th with Hitomi. They both promised to wear kimono. Neputa and Nebuta are in August. I will put pictures up of them, of course.
I also asked Kihara-sensei out to dinner with some friends. She came out with me and Charlie (and brought Nakano-sensei with her). This Saturday I'm trying to plan a goodbye for Charlie with some of our mutual friends. She's never been to Hach so I hope we can do it there, because I went and bought her a yuwata uma, one of the handicrafts of the area, to give to her as a souvenir of her first time in the city.
Me and Hitomi.
Eiko Sakamoto. One of the DJs I work with. I call her DJ Angel Face. Our next recording is this Wednesday - I am going to ask for her and Mamoru's e-mail and see if we can plan another outing.
Also I am addicted to The Wire. So far it's amazing.
