We got a new roommate today. Her name is Evelina and she transferred to MM from a Tokyo branch.
I don’t know what to quite make of her yet. Darya claims that it won’t work. I’m more apt to give it a chance.
She arrived earlier than we expected. LS had told us she’d probably come after 3:00PM. She came a little after noon or so.
Darya and I were a bit flustered. We hadn’t expected her and thus, the apartment was in a bit of disarray — Darya’s luggage was out and I was in the midst of making tamago (aka scrambled eggs). I was a little embarassed at the condition of the place, and I think Darya was, too.
Of course, we weren’t the only ones to make a “bad” first impression. Evelina was startled by the size of the apartment, having come from a much bigger one. She made mention of the size quite a few times. It left me feeling unsettled.
She hasn’t come back yet. She left about twenty minutes after arriving to go pick up her work visa. I hope she makes it back to the apartment okay.
I also hope her futon comes. It was supposed to arrive yesterday, but when they delivered it, neither Darya or I were here to receive it. They’re supposed to just come in and drop it off, but they didn’t do that.
Here’s to hoping…
But I miss Denny’s. *ducks head in shame*
Actually, there’s a Denny’s here in Osaka. I can’t remember if it’s in Shinsaibashi or closer to Namba. Either way, we passed it and I laughed. It’s nothing like the one at home, I’m told. It’s actually kind of like a nicer restaurant. I wouldn’t necessarily say “classy”, but definitely more expensive. They don’t even serve breakfast 24 hours a day. It’s right by a Karaoke Bar.
I just want to sit down and read for a little while. There’s no where to really sit and read hereabouts. I could do it in my apratment, but I like to try and get out when I can.
Maybe I’ll try that Seattle’s Best I saw the other day. I just doubt that I’ll be able to sit and read for hours like I’d like to do. Bummer.
Randomly — I don’t suppose anyone wants to stop by my house, pick up the Regionfree DVD player that’s in my room and send it to me.
So I just checked the calendar and at first I was really excited because this concert I really want to see is on March 19th, a Sunday. I work until something like 3:00 on Sunday and I thought, “Score! I can make it to the concert!”
Then I read the time on the poster…
It starts at 1:00.
Drat.
I’m actually really bummed about it because if I understood the advertisement correctly, Alfred Reed is supposed to conduct. I know that probably means nothing to you, but he’s this great composer and they’re supposed to play “Hounds of Spring” and “Aremenian Dances”, two really great Reed pieces.
Sore wa zannen desu ne…
