Penny for your thoughts

or mine, actually.  I have my internet back, or keeps now, but due to certain changes in my lifestyle (ie: the part where school started) I will not be posting as often as I have the past 3 weeks or so.  Depending on my mood, you'll probably get either one long post on the weekend, or various short posts throughout the week.

In other news, it has been discovered recently that mochi should not be stored in the refrigerator, or it will become hard and when you try to eat it, all the tasty sweet bean filling will ex cape out the other side.  I tried to find a good pic of mochi to illustrate, but there really aren't any.

All of the cats in the neighborhood that won't let me pet them get feed by a nice lady.  But you still can't sneak up behind them and pet them.

The school says I have to switch which train I take to work, because the Hankyu line (that I current take) is cheaper than the JR line (that I will switch too).  This is good news to me, as it will take about 15 min off my commute and I won't have to get up at 5:40 anymore.  *insert happy dance here*

I like sleeping on a futon, but for proper care, you're supposed to take them out on the balcony occasionally, beat them, and let the sunshine air them out.  As I don't have a balcony for beating or direct sunlight in the apartment, perhaps I would be better off with a mattress?

When will it be cold?????  I'm scared b/c I think I'm being to acclimate to the climate.  I don't want to be used to being drenched in sweat everyday.

My cell phone provider emailed me.  Apparently, they tried to send me something in the mail, but it was returned to them, so they're threatening to cut off my service if I don't go in and get it straightened out.

Yesterday was a bad night for sleeping.  I don't know why.  Personally, I just woke up an hour before my alarm went off and couldn't go back to sleep, but everyone else I talked to was also like "yeah, I had a good weekend, but then I didn't sleep well last night"  creepy happenings in the house, waking to a sick stomach, etc ect.  so I'm going to bed early tonight.  Maybe.

Also, my fellow ALT is big into going to the gym and has told me that the gym has lots of classes, like yoga and even bellydance!  I have an excitement!   As soon as I get paid, I'm going to see about getting a membership/signing up for a class.

The End.

For now.

Edit: next mon is a holiday, so no school.  this is kind of exciting to find out.  especially b/c the rest of the week is the school festival, so we only end up having classes once a week
