Yes STILL no freaking internet. I’m getting highly annoyed at this point. I was told that he called but basically went “yeeeah they have to come back and put one in each room”. One on its own costs 5000 a month- there’s no way I can afford that! So whoever spoke to him (Sergio) said that we wanted wi-fi but Yamanobe-san’s reply was “eeeh I don’t understand.” I don’t get what he doesn’t understand- his English is REALLY good compared to the guy in Akihabara that I tried to get to understand that I needed to get a wireless card for the router. Geez… he just doesn’t like us- I don’t understand why he’s running the dorm. >>;;;;
Anyways- went to Akihabara on an unplanned trip today with Tyesha. It was pretty cool and I want to go back with someone from the dorm here to go into some stores and inquire about a card. Maybe we can just get one and use it- I’ll need the model number and specifications of the router in Ariane’s room but that’ll be it I think. I’m not sure what kind goes into a router. I’ve never had that problem before. だいじょうぼう、I’m sure we’ll get it fixed soon… hopefully- otherwise I may be at school an extra two hours every day. This is insane.
Found an awesome store in Harajuku yesterday though! It’s called Yellow House. The lady there speaks fantastic English and it’s obvious from all the pictures that a bunch of different Jrockers go there for clothing and jewelry… the jewelry is really cheap too! I wanna buy a necklace but… I don’t know… But there were sooo many pictures. She said it’s all her design and she’s been open 29 years. The picture of Miyavi on the wall standing next to her in the EXACT same place I was standing made me begin to believe her. I usually doubt such stories but… this one I think I might believe. I love a lot of the clothing in there too- it’s quite beautiful.
Anyways- food~! I need to buy and wash some things to prepare but I want to buy some chicken, salt and stuff to cook some better food than instant noodles tomorrow. But I need to buy some tubberware as well- some containers to stick food in. I think I might go to the hyaku en store in Harajuku between classes tomorrow and buy some stuff before going to my 3:15 class. It’s not that far away honestly- about 10-20 minutes. I’ll just buy my lunch at school and eat it on the way or when I get back or something, I’m sure I’ll have enough time. I might also take the time on either Tuesday or Wednesday to upload some pictures. Idk how though- I’ll have to bring a larger drive than what I usually use. I don’t know if it’ll work either. There’s a LOT of pictures lol XD including those of what my breakfast usually is.
Usually in America I don’t eat breakfast- but here- I’m feeling like it’s a necessity honestly to keep going throughout the day. I’ve been doing my dishes somewhat regularly- though there’s not much to clean honestly until today cos I had to rush. I did my laundry- which is hanging on my balcony- here’s praying it’s not raining tonight. And I’ve written this blog, and made dinner and ate it. ^^v I feel mildly accomplished with that hot water heater thing under control XD. Now I have to follow mom’s directions that she sent me and create a new meal. I don’t want to be eating instant noodles all year!
OH! I got my alien registration card! Apparently you have to give it back when you leave the country though… but I want to keep mine- for the memories that it’ll bring me. Even if quite a bit of these first few weeks was sitting in my room and watching anime and playing games on my laptop lol. I tend not to go exploring by myself- save for yesterday in Harajuku. It was fun though! I enjoyed myself. I may go to Shimokitazawa sometime soon too- it was mentioned in one of my animes and I was amazed that I could say “I know where that is!” …. Lol, I’m such a dork. I keep seeing people playing Pokemon Black and White too ><>> Anna said she’d get me a copy anyways for the eumlator! <3 ^^;;;;
So I’m going to watch this one episode of Betterman (Japanese with Eng subs ^.^) and then I’m going to do some homework… if my contacts don’t fall out- this is a new pair and it almost feels like some stuff’s blurry >>;;; how weird. Oh well. I get up at 6:30 to take a shower and get ready. It feels good to be back on a good schedule. Tyesha said she might come over tomorrow and copy the games I have. I really don’t mind- I think it’ll be fun honestly. I know that she’ll enjoy the FF games I have and it’s always good to spread that kind of cheer around I think- being able to play a system that you couldn’t bring with you… Thinking on systems… I haven’t played PSP in a while ._. hm. How weird.
Anyways- I have things to do that I know I’ll get distracted with! XD

You must tell me where the jrock store is! I want to find it
ReplyDeleteI've heard Pokemon is quite fun! You should get it if you like Pokemon! (By any means necessary of course!) Haha...
ReplyDeleteThe no internet is ridiculous. I'd murder someone for internet. Granted, my internet is not great (some vids just stop mid-stream), but I can at least Face-stalk people... Man.
@Seth: it's in Harajuku ^^v which is actually a VERY vague answer- it's on the main street though with all the awesome shops- there's also clothing child which has some used VK and Gothic clothing (including h.NAOTO and Sexpot Revenge)
ReplyDelete@Ed: I should but not in Japanese >///> I would like to know what's going on and don't want to sit there translating each line for 20 minutes XD
and it is -.- I'm getting very annoyed at it...
