Today was nice. Relaxing, fun, and the weather turned out better than expected ( Read more... )

Wow, I'd forgotten how small kids are. It's one thing to work with them each day and hold them; it's quite another to make dance costumes for them. So. Damn. Tiny. (We're having Culture Day on Friday, and as I'm in charge of the ballet troupe, I thought I'd make little vests for the boys and skirts for the girls. We're dancing to The ( Read more... )

I don't have to leave for another ten minutes, and I'm all ready. The hell? XD

Brief recap of the past few days:

Note to all people seeking to acquire ladies' undergarments in Tokyo: Amos Style gave me some chocolates (Lindt milk chocolates, in case you're wondering) for shopping there today, so I guess this is a good time to be buying stuff! If I'd known, I'd have bought one item and gone back at other times for more. Mmm, free samples ( Read more... )

Gentle reminder: post-JLPT celebration starts at Berry Café in Ginza! Let's meet at Ginza Station exit C8 at 4:00 or so. Will later move on to a yet-to-be-determined drinking establishment. Who's coming? Comment or text me!

Lots, and lots of pie. And cake.

My brain, she is not working so well today. Wasn't yesterday either, apparently, because I checked the wrong train schedule for today, and though K and I didn't end up being late to the English Fun Fair, I made us run through Shibuya Station just in case. K didn't really mind, because she's been hopped up on Contact cold medication all week. The ( Read more... )

But she did! Post pictures of adventures at the Vampire Café in her Travelpod, that is. Not technically travel, but it's a start. One step at a time.

* * *It's just occurred to me that I'll soon be spending 4 days in Okinawa, and I need someone to look after Tabitha. Would anyone be up for the job? I'll be away from home from the morning of ( Read more... )

A week or so ago, I was looking at the calendar and thinking, "Cool, after weeks of being busy all the time, and before another month of lots of things to do and places to be, next weekend I have nothing planned!" Ahahaha. I fully intended to study all weekend, but then various friends suggested various activities, so ( Read more... )

Am in the middle of packing. A big part of my packing strategy has been: "Did I have this the last time I went back to Canada? Has anyone from back home seen me wear this? If so, can't take it with me!" Does this make me a shallow person? XD Seriously, though, I feel as though I've never looked better than I do now, and I want my outfits to ( Read more... )
