OMG THEY BLEW UP THE BURROW!!!!!!!!! O_o

And lots of other things. But I loved the art direction. Missed Bill and Fluer and the actual BATTLE of Hogwarts.

/spoilers


I am strong. I don't need a boy. Or some one to like. Or some one to flirt with. Right? Right. So why a I still not convinced?

So, yesterday I went looking for a watch and sunglasses. I'm going to give myself two man (around two hundred bucks) to buy one or the other, and considering Lauren has convinced me to go with Chanel sunglasses, I will be buying the watch. Plus it's more useful than a pair of sunglasses - no matter how much I want the sunglasses. Which by the way are these. :) Those I will be buying . . . at some point. Still have to save money for Osaka in June (for Dan's birthday) and DisneyLand in October. O_o

Also, went by the new Zara in Colet. I don't know exactly how pricey Zara is back home, but I'm sure not NEARLY as expensive as it is here. Went browsing for shoes. I have decided some of the shoes I like, I only like because they're close to my size - not any sort of shoe I'd actually like back home. Thus is the life of someone who's feet are like one to two centimeters too big for any shoe in Japan. :| I just want about five pairs of these Vans in white, but they decidedly don't carry my size - in Japan. I also like these (in blue moon) but they're again too small. Just a tad too small. Like where I could bear it but I'd get blisters and be uncomfortable all the time for my effots. Shooooes. I miss you!

Was also going to post something else here - OH! I'm pretty sure a bunch of measuring cups weighs under 500 grams . . . but what do I know. Either way I'm doing something wrong obviously, since the hook holding up my cups won't stay up. *SIGH* Sad thing is if they said will hold __ pounds/ounces/etc I'd have no idea. It should say something like, "Can hold up fancy utensils, but not pots." that'd be a good description for me.

Life is gravy. I love the warm weather. Laundry dries so much faster. :D

Just in case my students left any doubt, last night's episode of Arashi no Shukudai-kun left no doubt in my mind, that no matter what country, culture, or upbringing, boys will be boys and forever entertained by throwing projectiles at each other and finding the most delicious food.

Things I should be doing/spending money on instead of going to Osaka this weekend:

1) CLEAN MY APARTMENT
2) laundry and cleaning
3) Arashi's new single
4) a TV
5) Jesse McCartney's CD instead of youtube-ing it all damn day
6) sleep, although I'm sure Dan and I will bitch about waking up before noon
7) possibly make-up
8) shoes
9) cleaning
10) hair cut
11) pantry system

loads more I'm currently forgetting . . .

Dear Arashi,

I would like to inform you that we are currently experiencing a world wide recession. I kind of thought Sakurai-san or Ogura-san, at the very least, would keep you updated with this kind of information. Apparently not since you keep producing singles that I want to buy. I need to save my money, thanks boys. GEEZ. You are probably not hurting that badly in the pocket . . . unless you invested in those two quacks who turned out to be huge frauds (like Hoffer . .. and someone else, I forget their names, but they're sneaky bastards). But me, I'm kind of wanting to retire someday. Or have savings at all. So you can stop making music that I want to buy. Okay? Awesome. Thanks for listening. :D

OMG

I have MISSED making graphics. :O I might start an RP journal just for the excuse of making graphics. ahhahahahahha Anyone want LJ graphics? I could give you examples of my work . . . ?

I feel like I should change my layout, or update, or revise my profile . . . I'm feeling itchily artsy lately with no suitable outlet. I can't figure it out. I WANT to be fancy-shmancy and draw and paint and tra-la-la-la . . . but when I sit down and get ready to bust out whatever creative stuff I want to do . . . I deflate like a balloon. Phhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. And I feel incapable of making something worthwhile. It also doesn't help that the only canvas I have isn't pulled around the frame so I have to frame it . . . which makes me feel like I need to do something inevitably AWESOME and worth framing. :| Damnit.

Goals tomorrow:
Pay rent & water bill at bank; go to Nakumura's shop - buy paint, a frame for something that's been waiting to be framed, and ask if he can order pulled around canvases; teach extra lesson; go to YouMe Town - buy groceries, foundation, and possibly more Dr. Pepper (maybe); CLEAN.

P.S. I'm considering joining a dance class. It's pretty cheap and apparently a bunch of young guys go. Wicked. Work out. Learn how to REALLY dance. Meet people. Triple score.

So . . . I really should be getting ready for work, but I'm giving myself five more minutes of down time, so I'll use them to post.

I am sick. Sick. Sick. Sick. From allergies mainly I think, but I ran out of FloNase Monday and I still need to check with the pharmacy to see if FloNase is prescription only in Japan and if it is, then I need to make a doctor's appt. and go. But my throat hurts, I'm super achy, I have a fever (I think), and my nose won't stop running. Like, I couldn't fall asleep last night because my nose was so stopped up. T_T I just want to go back to bedddd. But I have two classes this morning, so I'll teach those, come home, sleep until my two classes at night, teach, then come home, and go back to bed via Tylenol PM. I was severely lacking on the medication when I came over. I miss, in no particular order, NyQuil, DayQuil, Sudafed, among others. So now I'm just popping ibuprofen. Yeaaaaah, man.

I should not have over done it yesterday. I should have just tried on my kimonos and gone home. @.@ Now I'm feeling like a balloon head and I'm so tired I just want to keel over and sleep for days. Lovely.

In other news, Valentine's Day is Saturday. Nothing exciting on my end. I will download Uta no Oniisan and go to bed early. Because I'll still be sick. And single. hahah

Right . . . so in Tokyo they debuted a Benz covered in Swarovski crystals. Cause you know, we're not in a world wide recession or anything. But I have to say only in Japan would that appeal to anyone other than Paris Hilton. Maybe she can convince them to let her cover other things in Swarovski crystal too . . . like I dunno, the Eiffel Tower or a bicycle. You never know. Could come in handy one day.

ALSO, which do you think?

The sweater tunic? Or the argyle sweater? Am slightly tempted to buy the sweater tunic just because I have tones of sweaters (although none with argyle, alas. :( But I think both are pretty casual and considering I plan on buying a pair of sneakers , I think I need a few more shirts I can pair with them that don't look a little too . . . juxtaposed (which is all well in good in it's own way, but not my style). (Both are about the same price.)

Thanks for your opinions in advance. :D I totally can't clothing shop on my own.

P.S. I'm sure God blessed Arashi, chu-his, and getting drunk because you had an awfully miserable day at work. Yup. Thanks big man. Now just send Sakurai Sho my way without running into Rebecca (aka the bitch from hell who likes to only screw guys and leave them out to dry). You rock, God. ;)

So the big debate: a pair of perfect, classic black knee-high, rounded toe boots or a sofa for my new apartment. Each is around $500. Which should I buy? Decisions, decisions.

I want my mommy.

Have I mentioned how addicted I am to the The Dreamer?! Suuuch a great webcomic. I totally live for Friday's for this comic. Great characters and colors, and the prettiness of everything is stellar. Plus, I have a HUGE crush on Alan. Yankee Doodle Dandy indeed. :D :D

So, don't get attached to a freshman boy when you're graduating and leaving to move to a different country. Especially when he wants to be a Navy Seal and has a brilliant smile and a talent for hurting himself in sports and you still like him despite his ability to embarrass you in front of your friends.

my inability to get over the following people should be classified as a disease (although completely NOT contagious):

1. Ben
2. Nick Carter

I don't give a shit that you can't hold the dinner conversation to what it should be normally. I just care that when you FOUND out, you didn't even read your e-mail correctly, that you didn't even CALL. That the only person who called was someone I haven't talked to in MONTHS. What kind of friends does that make you?! When you're too 'stressed out' to help your friend go through this?!?! I have a stressful week and you think I wanted James to go? You think I wanted him to pass away, so I could get out my exams and papers? You think I wanted this to happen!? I'm stressed too, but I know what's important and that's FRIENDS.

Compared to life and death, school and duty and jobs seem so stupid and irrelevant.

R.I.P James. You were more awesome than any human had any right to be, that must be why God took you to be an angel. <3
