Yay, birthday!
So yesterday was my nineteenth birthday, though my sister is probably still trying to usurp the laws of time and space to keep me eighteen and a half forever. 'Twas a good day. We made Snickers cheesecake! Yummy...
Sometime in the early evening before the sun went down Mom and Peter came by, bringing with them two chairs, a couple more end tables, a box full of kitchen stuff(we can make cupcakes and cookies now!), and my presents. I got my grandma's old sewing machine(stress OLD; it's awesome though), a tiger puzzle, a truly evil wooden puzzle that makes use of the almighty dovetail joint, and a couple other things. The cheesecake was still in the oven, and after we took it out it had to cool. So we went to Sho-ya for dinner.
Kaiyo was working that night, and though we didn't get her as our waitress, she came by and talked to us. I like practicing my Japanese.
Me: Tanjoubi desu.
Kaiyo: Aa, omedetou!
Me: Arigatou. Jyuukyuu sai desu.
Kaiyo: Waka~i! (turning to my mom) I think she is Japanese.
Mom: I think so too. I really do.
She then showed me her wedding ring. Kaiyo's getting married... next month! I'm so happy for her. She seems really happy.
After dinner we went to Corner Market and watched Peter as he hunted through olives and oils and breads like a kid in a candyshop. Then we went back to the apartment and had cheesecake!
In other news, here's a thing on a Japanese band that I'm starting to get into. The band name is 12012. In this video, two of the members embark on a large-scale adventure of hide-and-seek. It's amusing. (When one of them goes into a music store and picks up a magazine, I have that one! That made me so happy.)
Enjoy!
