Of course. Why is it that electronic items and I get into such disagreements? Kaylee doesn’t seem to like RENT at the moment. I’m hoping to remedy this problem and have sent a query to one Ask Mark. I have my fingers crossed that I will not be at odds with Kaylee the way I can be with my beloved John. I mean, we barely know each other.
So I’m back on my Peanut M&M kick, as well as spaghetti. No, I’m not quite like me Da where he puts M&M’s or Skittles into his pasta, I mean, what freak would do such a thing? (And I can say this ‘cuz it ain’t like me Da is likely to I don’t know, check his e-mail or anything let alone check the blog. Which reminds me, someone put something in his food while I’m away! *looks pointedly at Vicki of Wau-con-da*) But yeah, the M&M’s are only 100 Yen at the SunKus by work so I’ve been like loading up. Back in the states I would never pay a dollar for this size bag, but the Japanese use 100 Yen coins like quarters in this country, so in my Japanese-head, this is a good deal.
I’m back to my spaz thing, second guessing stuff as is my way. I know that my head is so totally wrong, but I can’t help it. Friends and I don’t mix well and in certain friendships I guess I’ll always have serious doubts before just accepting that things are the way they are because they are (I lack for commas in there, don’t I…). I guess the folly of Umeda (and other instances) still linger deep with in the recesses of my stupidity. Lousy insecurity! I shake my fist at thee!
On the bright side, and potentially something completely different, I’ve been writing…well, kind of. I keep trying to remember that this is for fun and that I don’t need to try this hard, but like many other things in my life, I take this too seriously.
Now there’s a funny thought. Tell me, friends, do I strike you as “serious”?
Remember how I said having Rob’s collection of DVD’s was probably going to be a bad thing? Yeah. Watching Alias Season 4. I have fond memories of watching that with Yoss during my harrowing student-teaching days. It was the one night a week I got to be free of any kind of responsibility. That and the opening credits always made me smile. Wow. Going to hell.
They don’t have my Gummi Bears at Yamaya anymore. They have the weird hard ones again. I was bummed about that. Maybe that’s why I got back into M&M’s.
Wow. Toni’s right. I usually do mention a lot of food in these posts. Which reminds me, I really want pop corn. Why, oh why can’t Costco carry my pop corn again? They have this weird 94% Fat Free Butter crap that tastes awful! I just want Light Butter, people. Is that too much to ask?
Oh! I forgot to mention I inherited these private students from Rob who are just a blast. I had my first session with them this past Tuesday and seriously, I coulda done that for free. The students are a bunch of housewives who speak way more Japanese than English, but they were still fun. Rob was right; it’s pretty easy money.
Speaking of housewives, and this is a legitimate segue, we went to Costco on Friday (where I bought Persephone) because the Tea Ceremony ladies had never been to it before. Japanese housewives are a lot of fun.
I think that’s all the madness for now. It’s cold in the house again. It flurried this morning. I can see my breath in my room. Maybe I should use a heater…but I think it’s going to warm up again this week. I managed to keep my last electricity bill under 2,000 Yen. I was pretty proud of myself.
Yeah. Gonna go burrow under the covers now. Happy late birthday to my pal Al! I was gonna post about it but unfortunately for me, I got distracted by something shiny. D’ya get the flowers?
