Presents

The calm after the storm?

I woke up today to the sounds of a rather spectacular rain storm this morning. Thunder, lighting and enough rain to impress even a Vancouverite. The sun did not come out today and so I think for the first time in 2 weeks I do not need the fan running to help keep things sane.

One the weekend I finaly made my way down to the Skin Flute. What a horrible name for a bar. It sounds like the sort of place you would find on Davie street, in between Celebrities and the Pump Jack. Ah well. Supposedly this is the prefered hang out for the gaigin community in Fujieda. I did meet one white dude from Michigan named Dane and two natives who had both travelled to home home town in the past to learn english. Asuka and Yoshi are 2 very plesant individuals and I hope to run into them again.

A dark and cloudy monday indeed was made a bit brighter by the arrival of my copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows. If I had any discipline at all I would finish Across the Nightengale floor first. But some how I think my lazy self will shine through on this one and I will start devouring book 7 tomorrow, perhaps while at Rengejike park? Yes, that seems right.

Well good night everyone. Have a pleasant monday.

So have you finished the book yet Ted?
I enjoy reading your blog - you have taken on an amazing challenge!!
Way to go!!
I almost picked up the phone to call the Helpdesk tonight when I couldn't connect to the Intranet at 7pm and thought, "wait, Ted's not there... and Ryan will probably be grumpy!!" hahahahaha (just kidding).
Hope things get a bit cooler for you!
Take care!
