I have fallen off the face of the blog-earth in the last month.
In recent days, I have...
1. Watched the spider lilies come and go.
2. Visited Dad in Narita for matcha lattes and Hilton breakfasts.
3. Fallen in love (with a place called Nikko) and befriended all the town's buddhas.
4. Buried my face in my Genki Japanese textbooks in the hopes that I'll learn something.
5. Said goodbye to a dear friend, and learned that it is possible to cry so hard you puke.
6. Broken into the secretary-lunch-lady-counselor circle at school and scored myself a dinner and drinks invitation.
7. Become BFF with the entire grade 3 class of Koma Elementary.
8. Spent too much in Harajuku.
9. Given about 20 hours of my life to Ikea.
10. Witnessed a monkey assault a human.
11. Given up wheat. Then quickly gave up on that.
12. Tweeted. But only once.
13. Made it home for Canadian Thanksgiving via Skype.
14. Finished Breaking Bad Season 4. And yeah, it blew my mind.
15. Experienced the Japanese interpretation of Octoberfest. Thank you Yokohama.
16. Mimed my way through a medical exam.
17. Doubled my collection of plants, and this time not a single one turned out to be fake.
18. Religiously kept myself up to date with Miss Lonelyhearts.
19. Stayed up well past my bedtime so I could listen to CBC Radio's Symphonic Hour of Power with Julie Nasralla.
20. Rediscovered The Temper Trap.
21. Banned myself from the 100¥ Shop.
22. Survived typhoons and double-earthquake days.
23. Spent hours contemplating why everyone at work changes into gym clothes and random hours of the day. You're not all gym teachers. What's going on.
There she is. My life, as of late. Next stop: Kyoto.
