4:30 PM

It hasn't been a particulary good day but it hasn't been a bad day either. I went to school. I frightened the little Canadian chick who I sometimes talk to. She sat down next to me while I was eating my creme bread. After a little while, some white slut walks in with tits hanging out and high beams on. Before I could stop myself, I muttered "Oh my god" and Sara, the Canadian turned to look. She didn't know what I was talking about so I said "Never mind". A few minutes later, she figured it out. Then she asked me about the bread I was eating. I explained that it was a chunk of bread with cream injected into it and she said "Intriguing" in a most Spock-like manner. So I said "Fascinating Captain" and she jumped up and said "You're weird!" and ran away. I said "Thanks". Heh heh.

There may be hope of an internet connection for the newt after all. I asked the HIF people where the hell people with laptops get internet access and they are going to help me find it. I'll find out tomorrow I guess.

Something in my house smells terrible today. Like rotten potatoes. It's putrid.

"Mount Hakodate-yama" as they redundantly refer to it around here was barely visible today. Normally, it looms above the city visible from all points within but today the clouds were low and opaque. It was really cool looking. The bay was hazy too. You could barely see the other side. It was a cloudy and windy day with just a little bit of rain.

Last night I woke around 2:30 and Star Trek Voyager was on tv in Japanese.

The 7-11 down the street sells porn on vhs and vcd.

9:00 PM

Dinner was tasty as usual. She'd made pork and carrots and potatoes which was nearly pot roast style. It was yummy.

After dinner, they gave me some pictures they took of me. They were horrible, as usual. All pictures of me are horrible. I think I'll mail them to my mother.

After dinner, some business man came over and bowed a lot. My host mother made some copies and then he bowed out of the room. I wasn't watching, but he probably bowed out of the house as well.

On the variety show they were watching, the show had found some hyper trendy club slut with gold hair and half-inch eyelashes and put her to work in a nattou [fermented whole soybeans in a sticky matrix of...something; widely regarded as the grossest food in Japan, even by the Japanese] factory. It was pretty funny. She didn't like it. She kept her eyelashes on for the factory. At the end, they made her eat some but she didn't gag.
