Random news

So Tyesha helped me figure out how to get my air conditioner to heat instead, so now it’s warming my room nicely. I’m very happy because now my room is warm and I don’t have to curl up under the covers and wear piles of clothing all the time inside as well as outside. Strangely enough- my plant is STILL growing. It’s quite amazing- I put it out in the cold too by accident- but it’s just growing and growing and growing. I’ve got a couple more posters up on the walls (ones of HYDE now) so it feels a bit more like home in a weird way- with all the flyers and posters.

Classes are going well, not sure what else to say lol. I’m watching a lot more TV than I used to thanks to Tyesha as well because whenever she comes over- she always turns it on the second she’s slightly sitting. So I now watch it a lot now- even if I put it on mute and just listen to music instead and just slightly watch it from the corner of my eye. The commercials are entertaining and some of the things on TV are entertaining too. I’ve found quite a few anime on some different channels, including Naruto, Soul Eater, and one called Star Driver. I have no clue about what the last one is about and any that I don’t know what they are either. There was one about soccer on today too, something like “Giant killing” I think was the title.

Ah and yesterday I was random and bought a Gundam to build, on top of getting one for someone else. It was disappointed when I found out it was a light pink, but it looks very cool. So it’s like… half built right now. It’s distracting. I wanted one I saw a week or so ago that had a very samurai style, with a sword and gear and everything. It was black and grey but looked amazing, but the store seemed not to have any in stock. Though I’m not sure how to ask lol. Oh well. I’m happy with what I got, I just wish it wasn’t PINK.

Oh- went into another Book Off yesterday and found a ton of PSX games. I’m tempted to buy a couple and take them home, along with some PS2 games. But the problem with this is that I’m that THAT fluent in Japanese. I’d be struggling to understand the game and how to play, which really sucks. I do want to play some of these games though- they look amazing. I thought about picking up another L’arc~en~Ciel album, but~~… I forgot what I already had. -.- I felt slightly stupid. There still isn’t a “cheap” SID album I can pick up since they’re so popular now. I can’t find another GazettE album for cheap either sadly enough. I’d go for Stacked Rubbish I think but… it’s fine~~.

For dinner I’m usually eating some variation of instant noodles. Though I will admit that they’re VERY good as compared to the American variety. There are so many different flavors and different kinds that are delicious. I’ve found a couple I don’t like though and I’m careful to avoid them lol. Mainly because they’re kind of spicy and I don’t go well for spicy. The curry place down the street is really cool too, the food is always good as well. I haven’t cooked in a little while and I plan on doing so this week for Thursday, but I’m still lacking a bento box… I really need to work on that.

So anyways~~… I’m watching TV, classes are going fine, I’m eating instant noodles for dinner usually, and I feel at home… kinda lol. It’s not really home but I can pretend for the year. I do enjoy it here and I feel happy being here. My commuters pass lets me access two very cool areas (Harajuku and Shibuya) any amount of times for basically ‘free’. I love going there and I want to explore more areas along my line honestly. I think it’d be a lot of fun.

So- my boring entry is over and seems to take up more room than I thought it would lol. I’ll see if I can remember to update this next week or something, idk. Depends on what happens in the next week. I’ll probably update with the completed Gundam.

PS - …..hm. I got nothing XD
