TheManInJapan

Well, let’s think about what has happened since last I wrote.

Nothing of imminent importance, shockingly.  I did have the best weekend in recorded history though.  I definitely got lost in Shinjuku station while waiting for Katie and had to ask these fundamentalist Christians for directions.  I took one of their pamphlets as a thank you, as I had been wandering around for about half an hour at that point.  As not to offend, I will not divulge the pamphlet’s eventual fate.

We spent a fantastic evening eating McDonald’s and making fun of Tad (One of our other friends who is in Japan) and largely making lewd conversation, as Katie and I are so known to do.  Ask Fernandez-san if you want stories of her and I in class.  If he remembers any.

And that brings us to Sunday.  We met up with Shintaro, who took us out for food and karaoke.  I had alcohol (for the second time in my life) and so I think that my evaluation of my own performance is probably unreliable.  I get the feeling that I THOUGHT that I was a lot better than I actually was.  Such is life.  But whatever, I rocked out to David Bowie, Rick Astley (Much to Tad’s anger), and of course, Do Ya Think I’m Sexy by Rod Stewart.

Yesterday I was supposed to go out with my friends from school for karaoke, but it has been postponed.  So I spent it studying for an impending kanji test.  True story.

In other news, I get to see my midterm grades next Tuesday.  So far I’ve determined that I’m passing.  Like a boss.

But yes, that’s all I’ve really got.  Oh, except that apparently there was a very small earthquake while I was out walking around in Ikebukuro today that I did not know was happening.  I read about it on a friend’s facebook about an hour after.  How bizarre.
