Well, it did snow a little here last night/this morning. Not much of the streets, but enough to give a nice little show.
Otherwise, not much to report. I found some "mini maple melon" bread that I have fallen in love with...so I really should stop eating it, but it is damn good. It's about 3 degrees outside...that's pretty chilly. ...even if it is in Celsius.

There is a possibility that it might perhaps snow somewhere in Sendai tomorrow. Perhaps. Possibly.
This is the time that I need snow boots.

Otherwise, not much to report. There was a volleyball tournament, I joined a gym, and I made out with a Japanese guy. That's about it as far as news goes. Oh yeah, that, and it's pretty cold.

If it snows, I might possibly take nen-kyuu tomorrow. Perhaps. Probably not though, since I have classes and whatnot, and there is no real good reason to take it.

Did a little bit of shopping this morning for a bag to put my supervisor's wedding present in. I also bought a couple of shirts. And a cake. Then some bread. Then, it was back home to 'wrap' and whatnot. Watched a movie about 2.5 times. Good stuff.
At 6, I met my supervisor and her husband for dinner at a sushi place. It was darn good. Then we had some coffee, and went our own ways at about 8/8.30...I don't really know. They gave me a birthday present. It is some hair scrub (I guess scrub is a good word for it). I used it tonight. It's nice. My hair feels so smooth.

On the 27th, I went to Nishi Nakada ES. It was fun. Not much to report.
The other days I stayed at my school. Not much to really report from that. I'm slowly learning some more names. Got taught a word that, if I had just begun learning Japanese, I probably shouldn't know, but I've learned Japanese for long enough to feel fine knowing yet another naughty word. I think my inability to learn some of the names of the students is getting on their nerves as noted by "え、もう教えた" and then lack of name giving again. Damn retardation in the area of name remembering. Feel in love with the first years again through Halloween activities and with third years through...talking with them. I think I could fall in love with the second years if I were there more often...but I'm not, so it's kinda hard to do that.
Tests in two weeks. That should be fun.

Oh, also had a pretty big earthquake Wednesday night/Thursday morning. And by pretty big, I mean it's the biggest I've ever felt but it really wasn't that big.

I didn't leave the apartment at all today. I stuck my head out the window and looked at some helicopters and at the sign at the base of the apartment that says something like "People who move want" or something like that.
Not much was accomplished today other than completing some images, and sketching via PS...which I rather don't like. This is the first one for my Boxer-briefs club (I hate the bg, but we'll be working on it_, and the other one since I've drawn a give on a skull for the past two years, I decided to switch it up to make it a girl AND a skull. I rather don't like drawing on the computer, but we'll work on that in the days to come.
Don't snakes smell with their tongues? Watching HP2. That made me think of that. It's at the part where he's cornered by the Basilik, or however you spell it.
Anyway, didn't leave my apartment, wrote some emails, watched some movies, drew some pictures, drunk some liquor. I need to cut that last part out...tomorrow...or the day after...

Today, I woke up late by choice, and then went shopping. I got a really gay plastic pad thing. It's not like homosexual gay, it's just really weird. The man in the speedo did it for me. After seeing that, I had to buy it. I also accidentally got a ¥1500 pen/pencil for my schedule thing. That pen/pencil better save my life one day. That is all I can really say about that. I also got another pen and a Happy Wedding card for my friend.
After that, I got a giant pig, and two small pigs as a wedding present. It may sound weird, but I hope they like it. I also got a small necklace for myself that I can wear to work, and some hair pins which I hope works in my hair.
After that, I went to the Disney store and bought some 50% off goods...like Vampire Stitch, a notebook, a pen, and a pencil.
Then, I went grocery shopping (it really had been awhile), and then got some bread from the most delicious bakery I think I've ever been to. It's my version of crack. I really do think it is.
Came home, and put the stuff away. Then started to type these up. Now, I think I'll watch a movie or ten and study...'cause I do have homework. The JET language course came to my desk on Monday, and I've been attempting to do them everyday since. The damn Kanji keep getting me. I have to make more flashcards...and that is what I forgot to buy that I had to. Oh well. There is always this afternoon/tomorrow/after that.
I didn't actually study. I cleaned a little, filled out a form, and took it to the post and then bought some things I keep meaning to get but always forget to...like shampoo, and whatnot. I also updated my bank book, so life is good now that I have some idea where my money has been going and all.

...I also got some wine. I'm waiting until at least 5, maybe 6, to start making dinner and open up that wine. It should be a nice thing. A nice thing indeed.

Today was a full day. I had 5 third year classes, and one first year class. It was pretty good. Tiring, but good. The teachers and I didn't have time to make a lesson, so I just came in and walked around the classroom. Perhaps not the most entertaining lesson, but it was enough for me. I got to do a dialogue with a few of them. It was pretty good. Luckily I was able to memorize my lines.
Not many booze, since I really don't have many left...although I did buy two beers...but I didn't finish even one.
