All by myself
Hey ya.
Im at the internet cafe again, my flatmate has been gone all of a day, and already I have had internet withdrawl. I knew I had about 12 emails to read, so I figured I may as well come and sort through them. I got a 3 hour deal, however it hasnt gone as quickly as I thought it would. The good thing is that you can buy cheap meals here too. For about 5ooyen I got a curry and rice.
Last night was quite lonely without my flatmate, despite the fact we werent always there at the same times anyway most of the time. On the positive side, I have inherited his bike, and various food items.
We hadnt had TV reception in our flat since Christmas, as when our cable box was given back, we gave back one to many cables. However the cable for the internet is/was the same as for the tv, so I have TV once more (albeit in Japanese, and most of it silly game shows). However the delayed english voiceovers of the news is quite entertaining - especially the idle chit-chat between presenters between storys.
Tomorrow is my day off. Thankfully. If it wasnt I may have taken it off anyway because my head feels like a brick. I will spend it recovering, cleaning the flat - pre-empting the visit from the cleaning mafia, doing my usual weekend jobs (to free up my weekend for fun stuff) seeing whats in the cupboards (taking inventory of the stuff I have scored) and general stuff that needs to be done but has kept being put off, such as changing my cellphones email address.
Saturday night after work I am going to Nagoya to meet up with the girl I met at the party. We were going to visit Ise on Sunday, but we have decided against it, due to my Japanese lesson.
On Wednesday I met my former Australian workmate for lunch. His contract was not renewed, so his union has told him to turn up for work everyday and ask if they need him (thats how its done here) much to the amusement to the other staff. I guessed he would be in Yokkaichi for that reason so I texted him to come around. He is also famous for witty lines such as, "Hi, Im ######, you may remember me from such lessons as E05 Postcards and Emails, and C35 Pet preferences". May be its just a had-to-be-there thing/in joke, by I crack up every time I think of that.
