What I just said
After almost completing a fantastic post - the computer lost it -so now I have to start again, after my inspiration has been drained.
I`ll start with some interesting facts -
It was my half birthday the other day. Im now 26.5 years old.
Before that, it was this websites birthday - its 1 year old!
Also in 8 days, I will have been here 6 months - then I can take holidays! but it also means another observation.
Recent observations include:
Lately it has got hot all of a sudden. Its like someone has hit the hot switch here. After 5 months of coldness it is reasonably welcome, however its rather sudden. It reminds me of the Mount in January, except for the rain - the other observation - all winter it didnt rain, however when spring came - it has rained almost every second day.
This week I have being sending idea notes from phone to my internet email - like a journalist, so I remember to add them to the blog. My phone is useful in that regard - I use it as a diary, and a information storage device too - by taking photos or emailing to/from it.
Since the last entry -
On Saturday I went to the "Japanese Gilmours" (Amica) and got some hash browns, maple syrup, and mixed veges - to make life easier. Sunday then was used to organise my freezer and cupboard space to fit it in (without infringing on the other`s space). Also I made some changes to the contents of the cupboards in the kitchen and bathroom. I went out and brought a casserole dish - so now I can cook cool stuff. Dinner was a joint effort with Anandia, and then we went to a work do (that of course we had to pay for).
On Monday I had lunch at the all-you-can-eat Chinese place. I also watched 2Fast, 2 Furious again, however with the badly translated subtitles on - which was quite funny - they didnt make sense. That night I cooked scalloped potatos in my new casserole dish - and saved 2 teas for this week. Later I went out for a drink with an American friend, and got ripped off - 1000yen/$10 for a flat coke in a thin tall glass filled with ice, about 10 nuts. Basically here, if they provide you with a snack, they charge you with a sitting fee.
Anyway same old stuff until tonight - I worked with Anandia today, so after work we decided to have dinner at a Chinese restaurant at Yatomi, and then caught a later slow train home. We then came here to the internet cafe to hang out with the others (as this is also a darts and pool hall.) I managed to clean up in darts - thanks to a standing technique that my last flatmate showed me. So I have ended up here.
Plans for this weekend - Saturday is another international party, Sunday is a Brazillian cooking lesson, and hopefully Monday, Kevin and I will go to Suzuka circuit - a race track and amusement park. Should be fun.
Tonight I also organised a 5-day weekend in June, to go to Hiroshima, Universal Studios etc. Sugoi! (this is "Great!" in Japanese. My intention is to make it popular in New Zealand. Previously I had a failed attempt in introducing a new word to the kiwi vocabulary - "Kempt" (Cool - as in the opposite of unkempt - messy) mainly because I didn`t use it myself. However now I say sugoi all the time, and I have a website.)
Anyhow, have fun till next time.

Jamie,
It's Steve mate from Sydney. It's good to hear you are having a great time.
Now I've lost your new email address. I wrote this down somewhere. Could you resend it to me at my work address or my personal email address.
Hey also, Where are the postcards dude?
Steve.
