No, Really, I Am an American

Someone has the Internet again. Can y’all believe I went about a little over a week without it, MediaCafe notwithstanding? I’m just as shocked…and mildly appalled with myself. It disgusts me on some level that there isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t think, “I gotta check my e-mail” or something of that respect. And here I used to protest this…

I have plans to ride my bike to work today. We’ll see the wisdom of this thinking soon. Apparently, there’s this big ass hill between Tanimachi and Nippomboshi that’s seriously just a bitch to overcome or some such. I keep hearing people say, “The ride’s not bad…except The Hill.” And oh yes, my friends, that’s a title. I’m just gonna call it The Hill.

I have the house to myself for a little over a week. I ain’t sure how I feel about that yet. I barely dwell here as it is, though. Mostly, I’ve been working since last Saturday and tomorrow will be my first day off in a bit. I think I mentioned that before, but we all know that jessi’s memory is faltering as she continues to live in this country. Or perhaps my memory, like everything else about me as of late, got distracted by something shiny.

I invited Natashia to hang out tomorrow and we have plans to just watch a bunch of stuff or whatever. I got an e-mail from Maiko yesterday also expressing a wish to hang out or something, so I have to figure out times and the like to see how possible this would all be. Kate also made some mention of teaching me how to cook. I’m a bit skeptical about that last venture if anything because I have the dumbest logic known to man, as we are all pretty aware. The things that make sense in my head…

Rob told me yesterday that Matt has a crush on me. I kinda figured, really. What the hell is this shit? People aren’t supposed to like me. It’s just…not right, and it makes me feel all kinds of…I dunno…weird. Pffft. Is that I say to that! How long have you lot known me? And in all that time, have you ever known me to think well of myself?

Meow. I met with Keith this morning to talk comic books. I have reconsidered about Lint Wars, if anything because that’s ours, not mine. Thus, he has proposed another idea that I will try to write about. We’ll see how this goes.

And speaking of comics, can I just say that I am still very, very bitter about Wizard World Chicago? Yeah. **checks guest list** That’s right. Still bitter.

Seriously.

ADD girl is jumping back to the fact that I have the house to myself — Jacob and Darya went to New York. I admit, I’m a little envious if anything because there are a few American things I miss. Granted, my parents were just here to bring me stuff, but I miss bookstores. I’m actually having them pick up some stuff for me.

Cripes. I’m talking to Froshy Nicole on Trillian and I just realized this is the first Prairie Center show that I’m not a part of in any way, shape, or form. Like last year, I stopped working on it, but I still saw the show. Weird.

Hmmm…look at the time. Maybe I should start biking to OCAT. For the record, Osaka is like a bajillion times more humid than Chicago. Suck.

What am I wearing to work tonight?
