Currently Reading
The Lovely Bones: A Novel
By Alice Sebold

Oh my god....I have never been so busy in my life. This whole packing up, moving out, saying goodbye, organizing everything, trying to sell all my shit to people or get rid of it somehow, and saying some more goodbyes is just pure craziness right now. Just thought I'd share since I'm going out my mind right about now.

And I scared myself today. I am becoming Japanese. Its so sad. I took 3 hours of nenji today and instead of going home when I should have, I ended up staying until 3pm meaning that I was working 2 hours more than I was supposed to meaning that I am an idoit and actually was working on my vacation time!!! BAKA ne!

i japan



I havent tried the Welch's yet, but the Lipton Peach and Mango Tea is sooooooooo good! I found it at the Family Mart conbini on the way to work last week. A few days later I went back to the same conbini and there were NONE LEFT!!! Like there wasnt even a place for it inside the refrigerator thingy anymore! How sad.....but luckily, I found it at another Family Mart and bought a whole bunch.

Now im just waiting for the BEST DRINK in Japan EVER....Calpis Pineapple! I hope it hits the shelves before I leave. Gotta love the seasonal flavors, except for that fact that they only come around once a year....

JEALOUS DEAN?! hahaha thats my cool picture post for ya....and here's one more. But, you'll be able to get all this stuff next year while I'm at home drinking blah lipton tea and plain old kit kats.


Question: If there were seasonal kit kat flavors in America, what kind of flavors do you think would be good?

(In Japan there is green tea, azuki bean, fruit parfait, strawberry, cherry blossom, strawberry and chocolate, white chocolate and wine....)

scary part of living alone, unknown man knocking on your door.

when i looked out the peep hole, surprisingly, he wasnt even japanese - it was a white guy. considering the foreigner population in morioka is like....err well we pretty much know all of them, i was kinda weirded out. plus, my apartment isnt in the most popular area so whoever was knocking definitely knew that i lived here. im just hoping that im freakn out for no reason. dang this is like flashbacks to when sunny and i lived in the brentwood ghetto and random people knocked on our door. especially the "cable guy" when we didnt even have cable. or did we?
