Disorganized
I have to take out the trash. It's funny after one to three days with three people living here, it needs to be taken out. Given that I probably make most of this garbage because I eat in the most. I feel like I am letting things pile when I shouldn't! Don't let go! I need to resign that lease, laundry, make phone calls, and straighten up.
Yesterday, my nerves were on high yesterday and then I calmed down. I have come to this conclusion that most of anxiety is in my head. It's always after that realization, I feel drained.
Other than that, I find myself watching TV more these days. I watched a Steve Irwin interview back from 2004 just because it seemed appropriate to do so. His death told me that none of us are getting out of this life alive. He has been around more deadly animals than a sting ray before. Sting rays are docile.
I also stopped on TCM and they were having a brief special on Chuck Jones (An animator for Looney toons). What impressed me was this animated short called the dot and line.It even won an academy award back in 1965. It was so groovy. I love shapes, especially in that pop art way. The plot was worthy and obviously aimed toward adults. Most cartoons back then were aimed at both adults and children, which interests me. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dot_and_the_Line
I am going to link this just in case I want to buy the book for resource purposes.

I also bought this dress off of ebay, but I have always been partial to maids. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160011392847&ssPageName=MERC_VI_RSCC_Pr4_PcY_BIN_Stores_IT
I have been having fantasies about working in a maid cafe but I don't have the workers visa or the visa in general for it. Yes, there is one that hirers foreigners.http://www5f.biglobe.ne.jp/~miacafe/miaeng/ I think it would be less sleazy than working at a hostess bar. Otaku are pretty harmless.
Now for links:
http://www.mynippon.com/nao/love_2.htm -This is a handy web site because it proves that I am not alone. The more I read on this subject, the more nervous I get. It's definitely not within me to solicit people on the streets, which is some of the advice given here. I think I get the point that Japanese boys are shy. Ever source I had read has basically stated that much. How unattainable. In this same veinn, I have been reading my, being a broad in Japan book. Very useful guide book that goes into everything literally. @_@ http://www.being-a-broad.com/
I had no idea that this happened that much. http://community.livejournal.com/expatsjapan/80320.html
http://mdn.mainichi-msn.co.jp/ -This is an English news site for Japan that I don't check as much now that I am home. You better believe when I lived in Kyoto, I checked this everyday without fail. I must say that I like the old format of the web site compared to the new one.
http://www.crisscross.com/jp/forum/ - Again, I read this more when I was actually in the country. I haven't read this much in the past few months. This forum really gives me a lack of faith in people in general. It's very racist and it often verges off topic with flame wars from all sides. Especially now that I look at it again, It kind of makes me hate American guys who live in Japan, though I think the forum has grown to the point where people from everywhere are posting @_@. Sometimes you can catch threads where you can learn about things that you wouldn't normally think to research on your own and blah blah. Alas, a typical forum in all ways.
http://www.cyberjapan.tv/contents/tokyoclubguide - The best Tokyo nightlife guide on the net. Male centered, but nice pictures and well made.
http://www.travelotica.com/travelguide/9972/japan/tokyo/clubs-and-discos-10014.htm - Another nightlife site, but not as nice as the one above. Just more simplified.
http://www.virtualtourist.com/travel/Asia/Japan/Tokyo_to/Tokyo-969164/TravelGuide-Tokyo.html - A very hand website with tips and critiques on things to do and on just about everything.
I mainly posted the above links for cataloging so I will have them in some form for possible future ventures.

Let me talk about my day, while being uneventful for the most part, I got home from the grocery store to find a notice on my door that stated I had a 3 day eviction notice. I had no idea my rent was late. I have until Friday, and I will certainly pay it by tomorrow. I also need to extend my lease so obviously I can hit both tomorrow. I just hate not being on top of things.
This situation really puts me in a bad mood. Now, that I rationally know that there isn't anything to worry about, I have calmed down. I really need to be on top of things. I like being first to know everything! It's a stability. This feeling compares to when I know I didn't do my homework and the teacher is expecting it. It's such a headache inducing feeling.
Ohhhhhh, and two people are using the tread mills, right now ;-;. I all the way down for nothing. ;-;
