Go East Young Man

Was fairly hung over today. I didn’t amount to anything, short of video game based achievements.

This is not a feeling I enjoy.

Taken in the mountains during my Farm Stay.

Taken in the mountains during my Farm Stay.

I’ve started a new morning habit of writing down what I want to accomplish for the day. So far I like it.

Farm stay was fun.

Feels good to have done an honest days work. It made the play part of it that much better.

Rocking a pretty bad case of farmers tan/sun burn.

Contemplated Musashi’s notion of the farming class, I think teaching kind of coincides with that more that of a noble.

Started reading Cat’s Cradle by Vonnegut. So far (page 30,) so good.

Oh, jammed l my left thumb pretty bad yesterday. It has been rather annoying, and I can’t wait for it to heal.

I did an an work out to the point where I could hardly lift myself off the ground, and went for a quick bike ride up some rather lofty hills.

I finished Slaughterhouse-Five.

I cooked chicken.

I did my homework a day early.

I still feel like I could have done more with my day. I suppose this is another side effect of too much video gaming and living in a country with very little understanding of table top role playing games.

Counted the majority of the coins that I’ve saved up and it’s at an estimated 17500 yen. I’m gonna wait til either I fill up my charizard piggy bank or until the beginning of August to cash it all in.

To anyone who didn’t see my status:

I would like to wish both my moms and all of my grandmas a rather splendid Mother’s Day. I love you very much!

Overdue Update

Hello all!

Life has been laid back. I’ve been playing video games a lot. I finally freed up enough space on my iPhone, and got wifi hooked up, so I downloaded forgetting Sarah Marshall. I watched it to the point where I’m actually sick. Apparent the version I had been watching was the unrated one because this leaves several small scenes out.

I’m renting 50/50 right now, I plan to watch it as soon as it’s downloaded. I hate this whole having to pay to watch movies this. If someone could please harass my father and/or step mom about forwarding me my windows disc I would be most grateful.

Everyones getting back from their vacations. Sounds like they were interesting. The highlight of my golden week was probably piercing my ears a second time. They look pretty good, hardly any swelling or redness.

I’ve been practicing my manga drawing skills by doing half tracings from the new Shaman King chapters, then drawing the lacking details in myself. I feel like I’m learning pretty well from this.

My hair has faded to greenish turquoise, the nihonjin seem to like it, I think it goes rather well with my shorter haircut.

Today, I studied a bit, went shopping, drew, played Pokemon, and took a nap.

One of the new students has her husband and children here living with her they are cute, but horribly noisy.

Much love!
Aaron
