walking home from the train two days ago i found one of those little rolling carts, the type old ladies use to wheel thier groceries around. i wasn't sure if it belonged to anyone, so when i got home i wrote my name on it in paint marker, to signify i was indeed the owner of this cart. rolling to the laundromat yesterday, i realized how much nicer it was then carrying everything. i didnt want to bring the cart back and forth as when i went to my apartment to wait for the clothes to finish washing, so i used my bike chain to lock the cart up outside. to one of those big poles with the no parking signs on it, so nobody would take it. a forty five dollar chain locking up a ten dollar cart, it was amazing.
on another note, i've grown to really love my neighborhood.

so we travelled six hours down south to fukuoka to where amy's family lives. we speak little japanese, they speak littler english, so we get along pretty well. half the time we have no idea what is going on or where they are taking us, but the element of suprise is pretty awesome. we're sleeping on the tatami floor, japanese style. her uncles pretty loaded, so we're going on his yacht tomorrow. i think i will get seasick and vomit.
speaking of vomit, i got the most drunk i have ever been in my life on thursday. in japan, they dont have bars persay, but little pubs where you sit, and eat and drink. we found this one drink to get drunk institution, had many 400 yen kamikazes, hit on many japanese bartenders, fell 4 feet off the bar onto the floor, threw up in the lobby of our 4 star hotel, and basically made an ass out of myself. it was pretty fucking funny. gratefully the people who work at gas panic live halfway across the world and i will probably never see them again.
asides from drinking too much, we have been exploring all types of japan. we've been to the tsukiji fish market (for the freshest sushi ever), temples in asakusa, shopping in harajuku, and saw the daibutsu (giant buddha) in kamakura. seriously, this thing is unreal. its this 50 foot buddha that was constructed in like 1250. i'll upload photos when i get home, its fucking sick. we also attended this festival in osaka, with lots of dancing, and traditional and neo japanese stuff.
fukuokas kinda boring. they have a shopping mall, and when we went to check it out there was this awesome japanese ska band led by a japanese guy in an indian costume playing a free show. theyre called 'japanese geronimo and love guerilla experience'. i bought their cd. hmm, what else. we're going to a japanese hardcore show this saturday, and we found a cool punk rock bar called garage land.
and i'm still trying to find my husband.

thursday was my 18th birthday. amy and i went to dc for the weekend, which was pretty awesome. the museums are free, and the people we met were very nice. the stores can't sell beer past 10pm, and everything closes very early. we partied like gospel singers.
this time next month i should be in japan

i had a wonderful week with amy. it was full of beer, bonding, and a family reunion. i love the middle of nowhere, our quaint little house with a room lacking possessions, and mola the bull skull. boating, fishing, and swimming in the lake, as well as sitting around a fire, drinking with some strangers, who are bound to become friends. playing pool, feeding marshmallows to skunks, and getting startled by deer walking through the woods at night.
its too hot. someone please drive me back to pennsylvania.

today was a reminder of how much i love scrabble, and asian guys.
thanksgiving was nice, cooking was fun, and the weekend was a little bit better than good. non productive but pleasant, a little strange yet nice.
that is all
