What I'm Watching: October 2016 ~ November 2016
After "I'm fine," the second most common response I hear when I ask students how they're doing is "I'm tired." (#3 is "I'm sleepy.") All through September and this first week of October, I get it, man. I totally get it.

Work has been busy, both inside and outside of class, but in a good way. Please ignore the giant stack of paper on my desk like I've been, okay thanks.
Besides that, I've already been to two different parts of Tokyo on two separate days of the past week. Along the way, I bought stuff I wanted (new CD! new manga volume!) instead of stuff I need (layering clothes, shoes/boots).
This weekend (which is three days, because Japan is awesome like that), I'll be on the train for a while again... but bound for Kanagawa! >:P It seems like I've been all over the Kanto region in the past six weeks. How did that happen? Then next weekend, it's back to Tokyo for a concert (and another new album!). And in two weeks, I'll be on an airplane! I'm going to visit home for for the first time in a little over a year.
[ ETA Nov. 14 ]
I'm just gonna make this a two-month post, because I'm feeling too lazy to figure out what I watched in each month. >:P I wasn't jet-lagged in the States (probably because I was too busy/active to be), but dude, when I got back to Japan... I've been busy here, too, for the past week or so.
