| Rice Countryso my days here have been very tame indeed. Old people tend to
either do puzzles and talk to themselves (as my grandfather is
fantastically displaying) or sleeping (grandmother). That is about as
exciting as it gets... for them. I've had my fair share of boring days
before we got internet here and while i still kind of had jet lag, but
I try to do something new everyday. The little place where I'm living
right now is an old castle town so I've been exploring various sights
around there with my trusty little traveler's guide in hand. I've been
to many shrines and temples, most of them small, but there are some
that are really cool. for example kouzanji houses a national treasure
and is right next to the chofu (town i'm in) museum which is very
small, but very interesting.
Yesterday I went to a couple shrines and then made my way to SeaMall, the mall in Shimonoseki. I had a while to waste while waiting for Yasuko (my second cousin) to get off of work. So i bought the book below and seated myself in a little cafe. the menu there is quite limited, but it's very good. and a cute little atmosphere. In no time it was 6:30 and I met Yasuko and we went into this big event room where she works. There we were served a French dinner and then the dessert was buffet. All the desserts were so cute! needless to day, i went home very happy.
Today i went to a really cute
restuarant known for it's tofu cuisine with my mom's high school
english teacher. She's really nice and gave me a book she recently
published that contains a compilation of her haiku. She's been writing
them since she was in junior high.

| quarter-life crisiswith my little bro turning 19, it totally reminded me of my own birthday, which is steadily approaching. and as most of you know, i'm going through a quarter-life crisis and then i thought, what better time to be completely concieted? so here is my birthday wish-list. i was going to do the registry thing again, but really it's too much work:
- books!!!
- anything by jane austen except for pride and prejudice and mansfield park, i already have those
- classics- i'm trying to be well-read so anything that they made you read in classes that you thought would be a good read if it wasn't forced upon you.
- i don't do poetry
- a little cactus with a little bow on top of it
- tweezers (i could just buy some myself, but i never really get around to it. and my current ones are getting dull since my favorite thing to do ever is to pluck my eyebrows- we all know they're bushy enough anyway- ok so i'm a bit of a strange child)
- postcards from wherever you are- i LOVE postcards!!
- stickers
- food- esp chocolate chip cookies
- CANDY
and that concludes my list. good things my birthday's more than a month away.
oh and little ella should have been born as of yesterday. yay!! i have a tiny neighbor now.

| grrri'm so angry. i was going to go visit laura in UT for a nice little break and now i dont think that i can because i was going to roadtrip with her down there and the fly back- which would be 89 for the ticket. but she's leaving a day before my last final so if i want to go, i have to fly both ways, which is 270. well fuck that. i can get a pair of designer jeans, get them hemmed, and a new pair of shoes to go with them for that. so now i don't know why i'm so pissed but i haven't done any studying, which is making me even more angry. and this all sucks. all i wanted to do is go chill out in salt lake and at BYU for a bit.
too bad life's a fucking ass bitch | | |
| ok well, get this, i'm the biggest nerd in the world and so the thing that totally made my day was .. well, there were 2. the first one was that one of my friends wrote me the longest facebook message of my life teaching me how to study and 2, i achieved a 16.8 flesch-kincaid grade level on the intro to my geography paper. the highest that i've ever gotten was a 12.0 so i always thought that that was the max. but apparently, i can speak as though i'm in 16.8th grade!! wait. make that a 17.1 for the highest that i've ever gotten. with 40% passive sentences. i know this really doesn't matter and it's not like teachers are going to be like, a better grade for a higher flesch-kincaid grade level! however, if you can't tell, i'm really obsessed with this. | | |
