The DSi is finally ordered, now that I've been able to get Paypal straightened out. YES! And even better, my Pokémon Pearl is going to be in English. Maybe I should figure out where I can acquire a wireless router so I can join in the online trading.
Though I am a bit miffed that PlayAsia tells me "free shipping within Japan" and then forcing me to pay for exorbitant US shipping prices. What. Lies and propaganda.
I have successful defeated the Moldy Sentient Strawberries of Terror (Elite), with the aid of my new Mold Gloves. They are like doctor's gloves, only much thicker, because Japanese people have a terrible dirt phobia. The strawberries didn't drop anything. In any case, my fridge is now cleaner! I also am now immune to fear from Bread Mold. I think. Living alone is hard when you want to have variety but not enough mouths eating all the excess. Thankfully, I only got 2 Daikon radishes from Yoseda-san/kyouikuchou on Sunday, one which I've pickled and have been eating quite merrily. I still have to figure out what to do with the green beans though - maybe make fake gaijin edamame?
Stage Two of my Evil Plan involves figuring out how to hang up my laundry to dry when it's rainy and windy outside. Besides that, I still need to, you know, clean my entire house and then come up with some recipe that I can cook somewhat successfully and hopefully have one or more of my bosses over. But! It is definitely progress.
Still haven't really been able to progress on Gossip Girl, though I was able to watch about half an episode before it crapped out on me this time. Damn illegal Chinese websites.
i love minami daito,
