I'm... not entirely sure what to say about Japan. No, that's not true. But what I could say would be very tl;dr and I've been awake for over 36 hours because of confusing timezones. So uh. I liked the food in Japan a lot! Americanized versions pale in comparison, as it should be. I wasn't too thrilled about the crowds, but hey, that's what ( Read more... )

So in approximately ... lesse, 14 hours, I will be boarding a plane for the flight to Japan, which will last approximately 9 days. After three days of rest, I'm going back East for my sister's college tour. That lasts about two weeks. Five days after that ends, I fly to New York and then France for the beginning of the junior year abroad ( Read more... )

So we bombed the house with flea-killing product this evening, and Dad sprayed RAID on the surfaces. YOU'D THINK THE FLEAS WOULD BE DEAD but I just found a new bite on my stomach. Damn them. >( And friends are coming up on Wednesday so I really, really hope we have the problem sorted out by then, or lol HAVE A SOUVENIR TO REMEMBER US BY, GUYS ( Read more... )

My family spoils me, but I knew that already. A-hahaha, I think I've gained a few pounds NOT THAT I CARE for it was delicious, awesome food and I should stop being so damn picky at school. But with six boxes of Pocky and new bowls of instant soup, I can survive? Unhealthily. |D

Boo on you, red-eye flight. a;sfja;swej shit I did absolutely no ( Read more... )

So now I'm back in my hometown, just chilling in the nice 57° weather as opposed to slightly above freezing back in MA. I'm going to renew my passport today and basically just hang out... in other words, this post is totally useless except to celebrate the fact that United wasn't a bitch yesterday ( Read more... )

So. I hear there's a storm coming our way tomorrow.

I do enjoy having flights when there's the potential for the airline schedule to be completely fucked up, resulting in delays and/or disappearing flights.

If I end up waiting a million hours for my flight, only to stay overnight at the airport again, I will cut a bitch. Just saying ( Read more... )

I'm spending a rather expensive night in the Sheraton hotel at BDL, scheduled to take a 6am flight the next morning to Atlanta and then to San Jose. My Chicago flight got cancelled. WTF. We were supposed to depart at 2pm, I notice it's been delayed to 3, they tell us "lol actually, we might get out around 5:45," and then it moves to 7, 7:20, and ( Read more... )

So far I have watched three movies, eaten about a pound of pasta, and devoured turkey, sticky rice, bread, and cake within the last day and a bit. I like sticky rice. I got to talk with relatives, two of whom I rarely see now-a-days, and I shared my birthday cake with more people than usual. (Too bad I was too FILLED WITH FEAST to properly enjoy ( Read more... )

Well, Buc gave me back some confidence in my riding! And by that I mean I didn't have to fight the entire 50 minutes to steer him. I don't really know if I improved, but when I went over the jumps I at least could concentrate on my position, instead of the vicious battle for dominance. |D I remembered not to curl up on the jumps, so I am no ( Read more... )

A day and a half seems too short a time to spend in New York city. But at least it was nice - 60° weather and a T-shirt and jeans for the most part. It's a pity the expensive restaurants take offense to this, but eh, the crabcake was delicious and the lamb was decent, and what the hell, we pay them the same as the shirt-and-tie people ( Read more... )
