Going on a run to the sun. (aka. I need my MSG fix)
Finally over with the last day of school - on a public holiday. Our faculty always holds this in-house exhibition at the end of every school term for each project to showcase what they've done, and one of the higher-ups decided that it would be awesome if everyone in the faculty came together in "celebration" of the end of the semester on a public holiday. I can't remember much because I was VERY sleepy and my headache was still around so I was walking around in pretty much a dazed state and not comprehending half of what was going on around me, but at least I got to walk around and see some of the other projects this time around, rather than just being stuck at my own booth (which is what has happened ever since the beginning of time when I joined my current project). It just struck me as being a little sad when I realised that all the projects I'm interested to visit the booths of (I'm not really into the management and policy-making aspects of the course) all happen to be the booths where my friends are at. Birds of a feather flock together.
Despite it being the "end" of the semester though, I still have 1 report to hand up (which I have done wayyyyy beforehand already, go me!), my thesis topic to decide on, and preparations for the conference in two weeks. And on top of that, I need to move house. But before that, I need to buy furniture and home appliances. I'm kinda hesitant to move because I want my furniture to exist before moving in. But I don't know when I can get my furniture. So I just keep procrastinating. Also kinda want to change the locks of my house before I put anything in it, but haven't gotten down to calling the locksmith. Which is all fine, except that I have to move out by the 29th of this month, and I have a crappy schedule.
Besides work, I also have to hang out with a friend who's visiting on Wednesday, and there are THREE concerts back to back next week (should've known that that was a bad idea when I bought the tickets months ago). All three are of bands I love and I know that the crowd for all three shows are going to be aggressive as hell. I could always stand behind, but I have (kinda) awesome ticket numbers to two of the shows and it just feels so wasted to be at the back for those. Oh my love-hate relationship with the moshpit.
There goes the humongous beetle that's been flying into my window the past few nights. I think it's a regular by now. I swear it's like 4cm from head to backside. Why are the bugs so gigantic here? In fact, why is it that I don't see any bugs for 9 months, but I see them in craploads now? Is that how it usually is in Japan?
But yes, finally a non-"OMG I'M EMO" and non-live report post from me. Going to try eat healthy by cooking pasta+veg+chicken (i.e. throwing everything into the pot and boiling it). Though with the three cubes of chicken stock I throw in to make everything savoury (I used to throw in four!), it might as well be called "killing self via MSG".
This probably won't matter to most people on my flist reading this, but I just got to know about two days before the the livehouse Shimizu JAMJAMJAM in Shizuoka (I think) is going to close at the end of the year after celebrating 10 years in the business. I've never been there, but have seen their name in the list of the stops of many bands I follow. I think the head's retiring or something, and decided to close it rather than pass it to someone else. He says to ask him directly if anyone wants a better explanation, but I'm not heading to Shizuoka anytime soon. So yes, I have totally no links or special feelings for the livehouse whatsoever, but it's still sad when someone in the business leaves.
