gero (sounds like "ghetto" and is the japanese noun for vomit).

yesterday jason, song and i went sakura hunting at nishi zao. but there was no sakura. so we went to this fabulous view spot, and while we were there we heard this drumming. so following a road, towards the drumming, on the side of a mountain, we came along this:

there was a house right next to it, where the drumming was coming from. and inside this temple-y thingy there was no one, but three white cars parked outside, open doors, and tools lying everywhere, and this metal chair with a stereo on it playing 1980s top 40 j-pop, etc. but NO ONE TO BE FOUND!! really weird.

today i spent the afternoon warding of an infection, bastards. i hate only having emergency health insurance. grrr. and i cant find any cranberry juice, or goldenseal vitamin-thingy that i need, so ive been drinking lots of water, consuming lots of vitamins, and eating dango for good luck.

at the ekaiwa tonight i had lots of fun and at the end spent a half an hour updating my phone book with people's numbers, emails, and photos. so, all the pictures of me turned out horribly because i was laughing so hard. but this one of daisuke turned out the best. he's so cute. as aki said, "kawaii des!" ha ha.
