全てを消して見せよう～

Damn you Christer. Now I've been listening to this song for approximately 3 hours straight. I've also been reading Questionable Content for 2 days straight. Must... read... more. I could also use a pillow or something for my ass before it becomes completely chair-shaped. But the ladder up to my bed is laden with drying clothes so I cannot venture there.

Still listening to: Gackt - Redemption

Teachers with students - HOT ACTION

A few people from class and our teacher Aoki-sensei went out today. Nice Thai-restaurant close to school. A few of Aoki-sensei's friends and our teacher from 6 months ago, Nishigaki-sensei, also came. Awesomeness ensued. Insanely spicy food. Then some of us went home. Some went to Shinjuku.. or someplace... never to be heard from AGAIN! *insert Dramatic Prairiedog*
And my semi-new shoes are fucked up... I can't feel my feet at the moment.

バービーキュー

Went to a barbeque party at my old guesthouse in Matsudo last sunday. Great fun. Lots of beer and wine. Lots of meat too. Afterwards we went down to the river and set off some fireworks. A tad bit more dangerous than I expected. People running around aiming and shooting rockets and flares and stuff at each other. If you do that in Sweden you get shot.... by the midget albatross army.... yeah.

The Buddha and the train.

Yesterday I went to Kamakura to check out this dude and a
few shrines with Karin and her mother who's visiting. The
weather was... impossibly hot and after we took a look at
the Daibutsu we took a look at a map of the area and said:
"Hey, let's walk to this shrine, it looks nice.".
....yeah. We walked around for like an hour without getting
anywhere and simply decided to head out to the beach
instead. So we did. Nice waves... I wish I had a surfboard....
or knew how to surf. :P Afterwards we had a beer and
headed home. Boy were we in for a surprise.
At first, there was some kind of delay so the train from Kamakura
to Shinjuku was like 30 minutes late. Some old guy started chatting
with us and told us what the announcer were saying and stuff.
But then he felt obligated to show us pictures from where he'd been
today and wouldn't stop talking. Showed us about 30 pictures of the
ocean and the beach saying; "The ocean's beautiful, isn't it?"
to all of them. Then when we finally got on the train, it wasn't the
train we thought. So we got off about 2 stations later and decided
to wait for the right train.
...and then. The thunderstorm of HELL hit us. Deafening thunderclaps
and lightning all around. The lights in the houses around the station
flickered and went out, then came back. It was kinda spectacular. :)
We waited for another half an hour, then got on the train. Excellent.
The train moved about 200 meters, then stopped. Aaand stood still, for
about 1 hour.. or something. Maybe more, I forget. The lightning had
destroyed some kind of relay or traffic signal or something.
When we finally got to Shinjuku (or Takadanobaba where we were
changing trains) it was half past 10. A train ride that should have taken
about 1,5 hours took 4 hours instead. Tired and hungry, we went to an
isakaya near the station and ate and had a beer (or two?) and then went home.

Commercial-time!

This new shampoo I bought.... is great.
It's called Sunstar Tonic.... and it feels like washing
your hair with toothpaste. Well not all sticky and stuff.. but
the freshness. Menthol shampoo is my new drug.
Today: Transformers in Ikebukuro. Second time I watch it. :D

There and back again.... and then back there again, and then back.

A day to remember indeed.
Met Thérèse at Shinjuku station at 11 to head out to Kaihin-Makuhari and Summer Sonic. Took about an hour. Lost my cellphone on the train and had to report it to the station staff. :/
And then I couldn't get a ticket. And Miriam had lost hers. And then some other crap happened. And then me and Miriam went to Nekobukuro.
AND WHERE THE FUCK DID THIS POST GO. :(

Return

Yeah, so I came back from my two week vacation in Sweden where I'd been visiting family and friends and stuff. When I left two weeks ago the weather was... well it was hot. But fuck me. This is ridiculous. I was expecting heat, but this pacifying heat is not quite what I'd
prepared for.
You get kinda used to it quickly though, but if you walk into a store or step on the train. You're fucked.
Especially 99 Shop here in Kumegawa, they have like... subzero temperatures, which is kinda nice, but when you go back outside again; BAM! It's like walking into a wall of.... well something hot.
And I sweat, a lot. And now I'm jatlagged as fuck too. Plane landed at 8something AM local time, and I didn't get home until 1pm or thereabouts. And then I made a bad decision (one of many) of taking a nap. So I woke up at 8pm.
There's some kind of music festival called Summer Sonic today and tomorrow. I have no ticket but I'm planning on going there anyway to see if I can get one outside or something. The Pillows are playing and I'd really like to see them live at least ONCE during my lifetime (i.e, my stay here in Japan).
Yeah, and now I'm going to try to get drunk so I can fall asleep so I don't stay up till 5am! Yay healthy!
