hello again!

Oh it has been crazy busy since arriving in Japan!  In the best way of course.  Yu planned a welcome-back trip– 5 of us went to Nagano and soaked in hot springs while it snowed outside.  We also did a bit of guitaring and singing and bowling and shopping.

We came back and I stayed with Yu at her apartment until mine was ready to move in.  I moved in yesterday.  The apartment has a loft and it is across the street from an Indonesian restaurant and it is by 3 music stores!  I will finish decorating soon and then show you!

And, today was the first day of work!  Everyone I met was so amazing, I can’t wait to tell you about some of their projects.  It feels so so wonderful to be paid to work on this frivolous dream project of mine.  It is like being paid to eat an ice cream sundae.  It doesn’t really make sense, but I won’t say no!

Anyway I will write more when I am more coherent and less swamped.  I am really looking forward to this weekend– not because I want the work week to be over with, actually I might keep working on my project anyway or at least conduct “research” by shopping for cloth and dress forms– but because I just want the chance to breathe and stock my fridge with fresh vegetables and dance to bad hip hop while painting and maybe convince some wonderfully disgusting vintage plastic kaiju (my latest obsession) to be my roommates.

xoxo

    yu and i tried to go 2 nights ago, but there was a special live jazz event going on and dinner cost $75. they apologized and said that it’s really rare that they have an event. when i tried to go to an ainu restaurant last summer it also happened to be the day of some ainu festival and it was closed. the same thing happened for a macrobiotic vegan restaurant (well, not a vegan festival, but some other special event). i have a knack for this! anyway i will try again soon and tell you how it is!
