Hey, now. Don't get me wrong or anything, really. Don't consider any of this complaining! A samurai's got his pride and all, and a samurai should never complain even if they live in a cardboard box...

But why's everyone else got apartments but me, oi. Even that bastard Zura, taunting me. Friends don't need to wipe their feet when they enter a friend's home! My money doesn't work here, so where's it come from? Do I need a job or somethin'? A free job from the Yorozuya for anyone who can answer in the next ten minutes.

More importantly, does the weather always suck?



[[ooc; That box is totally painted to look like shouji screens and has JUMP color spreads pasted to the ceiling. Home sweet home! Feel free to have seen it between buildings 5 & 6. Also, this is out front, not that you can see it.]]

Ahh, sorry I haven't have a real post in forever. I am so, so busy. I keep just... not studying for classes and things which is really bad, but I'm so used to being able to study whenever I feel like it. The very regimented schedule is really hard to get used to.

Anyway, I just posted pictures of Fushimi Inari over on gonnarokuyou. Also, we've started watching Hana Kimi on my laptop when we have time in-between classes. (ah ha, and I just said I have no time to study. In between class time is one of the few friends times I get during the week, though!) Also also, I'm trying to sign up for a mixi, but for some reason I'm having trouble registering my cell phone email address. We suspect the softbank people are holding out on the gaijin, because there's some mysterious password my phone asks for sometimes that none of us have ever heard about before. :|||


I'll talk to you later, hopefully with a proper post, but until then a bizarre restaurant in Kyoto (I think?) that is selling my new favorite food to apparently only young men~

More pictures! Sorry I'm so bad about posting these. Things have gotten incredibly busy recently. A while back we went to Osaka and Den Den Town for Casey's Birthday. Den Den Town, the actual Japanese name for it, is the "electronics" district of Osaka, which inevitably turned it into geek central. You can get really cheap electronics and computer stuff there (several of us bought 1 gig micro sd cards that were on sale for about five dollars American, which has basically turned my cell phone here into an ipod nano) and also have a lot of fun people watching dorky Japanese boys buy manga and pokemon figurines and the like. We also had a really great lunch with Casey's old TA, who lives near Kansai Gaidai now.

We also went to Fushimi Inari (the fox god) Shrine with my religion in Japan Class. Which was really beautiful, though basically situated on top of a mountain. After a while the climb started to seem a bit endless, especially since every time we thought we'd gotten to the top and were now heading back down we'd suddenly realize we were starting to go even farther up. I was supposed to meet up with Kelly, who's studying in Kyoto right now, before our tour of the shrine, but she got a bit lost so we met up afterwards and went out to dinner in Kyoto with her.

I have to run home now, so there isn't a whole lot of explanation of the pictuers up there, but if you have any questions or comments or anything, feel free to comment here!

Nino's latest nikki seems to be all in keigo. (this after the one yesterday where talked about how ohnos been dreaming about him） I've decided nino is stalking me so he can use what we're learning at the moment in his blog


Eta: Awwww, sadness. My cell phone smilies seem to not show up here. :|||

oh man figured out how to post from my cell phone I am going to update so much more often now. But proably really short posts because this is really hard to type. Japanese would actually be easier b/c there is t9 for that(>_<)

(There is an emoticon setting on here (^_-)～☆）

あたしのけいたいはメチャメチャすごい～♪ 今日はホストファミリーとHowlを見た 明日は友達とお寺に行くつもりだよ～楽しそうな？


I definitely included smilies in there. I wonder if they'll show up for you. (o^_^o)

[ Filtered from the Deities; ]

Though it's not much, I was wonderin' if I could ask anyone that's been here a while 'ta look over a record of th' curses I've been keeping, and lemme know if ya find anything that's happened before. I'm lookin' for patterns! Any help would be appreciated.

Ahhh... I'll do th' other months in a few days, I hate re-writing a whole bunch in one go. Feels like a good time for a nap in front'a the fireplace.

Oh! I almost forgot 'ta add-- Anyone lookin' for a new employee? I'm a mean secretary, and I'm pretty organized! I won't forget a thing, promise. I can pretty much do a bit of everything, so just ask!
