smart thing

i guess the smart thing would be to not write a post or reply via email to your mother when you are pissed out of your tree. right? i realize this now after i saw that i didnt remember that i had checked my email. ga.

ive been reading a lot, and writing a lot, and walking to joy alot to buy stuff for my house. i just bought a coat tree yesterday, suhweet. now i need to get a couch, and a coffee table, and a desk, and a computer. and many more things. i went to do laundry yesterday and the laundry machines come with soap, in that it is added automatically. which could explain why a 35minute job cost 700yen (egads!!!) but really convenient, and close, so that is nice. and an older japanese woman started talking to me, and we could communicate that it was cold out, snow would be coming, that i live in akayu, not nanyo, and that im canadian. lots of 'hai's and hand gestures. but it worked. and this morning a woman said nani ji(n) to me, but why the fuck would she ask me the time? i dont know.

today im in yamagata, paying through the teeth to use the internet, and i think that im going to try to come here once a week. for sure. i have a bunch of running around to do today, changing my address at all of these places. and i have to go to city hall still, which i hope wont take too long. i have to apply for health insurance, but i think i might do it just after new years in akayu. much easier than going to the big place here in yamagata. im really liking catching the train to and fro. its a lot of fun, though it is 570 yen. for only 30min train ride.

okay, im off, im going to buy paper to make jason's xmas present, and fabric paint. im going to make a t-shirts that say, 'oh, analog', 'miss wyoming', and 'please tell mr. cohen i want my heart back'. suhweet.

ooh, and today i already bought a chocolate brown hoodie. ive been wanting one for so long. and the arms are too short. but maybe, my arms are too long? for only 1050yen ($13cdn?) oh, and keep me away from shoe stores. im practicing restraint in the department of shoe purchasing (i want slip ons!!!) no gwen cd here yet, im keeping my eyes open all the time (though they play the single in stores everywhere!!) xoxoxoxoxo.
