DEAR READERS, I cant help but think that there are none yet! but who knows. Today I spent way too many hours in the language lab at my school. I like learning Japanese. I have put some thought in taking up other languages when I am confident in Japanese, but it just doesn't seem like it would be as fun to learn French or something.
maybe Chinese.
Lately I have been getting back into my cooking routine. which is nice. one of the only consistent things for me in this world is food. It is so relieving to know that no matter what happens to me in a day, that no matter what I may be feeling emotionally. my taste buds work the same shift every day, and they always work their hardest. I guess sometimes I get stomach aches and stuff, but it still tastes good. that is the joy of cooking. fixing your day with a delicious meal.
I have been sick for about a week now and its really bumming me out. I haven't had enough energy to do all that needs to be done each day. and at the same time I don't have enough time to just sit around and get well. so I have been overworking myself, and that has prevented me from a full recovery. but what can you do? right?. Classes are hard as shit, and rather boring, all except Japanese.. I guess they can all be interesting, but I really am taking the most boring classes yet. I got a student parking pass which is cool and all.. but most of the time there aren't any spots available anyway, and I end up sitting around in the parking lot with jaunty eyes, searching desperately for a spot.
My sister flew in yesterday. she needs to get x-rays and tests done so she can get a visa for her residency in TOKYO. she is so lucky to be able to do this, and personally I don't think its fair that she gets to go and not me. but I am kind of happy for her behind all this bitterness. Last night I went out to meet up with her and she had gone to hang out with her friends, I woke up at midnight to her calling me to let her in, and then I pretty much just left since it was so late. we are supposed to go to see our father this evening but that kind of thing is pretty much impossible to maneuver. what with my Dads struggle to make a plan, and my sisters lack of enthusiasm, and me stuck in the middle just trying to get it over with.. in most cases it just doesn't work out. I don't really remember exactly but I have videos and pictures to prove that at one point we actually were a family that spent time with each other. now we are all grown up and trying to deal with just living our own lives.
to clear something up, I bought Joanna Newsom's new record "HAVE ONE ON ME" (which in a previous post I had informed you all that I had downloaded the leaked record) so I just wanted everyone to know that I wasn't lying when I said that I was going to purchase it when it came out. It really is a wonderful record. I listened to the whole thing back to back, last night while drinking sake. it was so great. and there is something special about listening to it on vinyl. I mean I was captured by it the first time I listened to it. but it felt different listening to it on a needle.
Are there any vinyl collectors out there. if so tell me why you love vinyl so much, and maybe tell me some of your favorite albums that you like to experience under the influence of the needle… and I don't mean while taking drugs intravenously!
