I hate my job so hard I am dreaming of taking time off, MONEY IS GOOD. But still! My boss is like the destroyer of worlds, we've been walking on egg shells for like 2 weeks because she is CRAZY. Its stressing the hell out of me!
HEY, Japan vacation cant come soon enough! If I don't get arrested for murder. Since holiday season is upon us like a vengeful god.
Halloween was totally weird, I got lovely texts and pictures from Leha! It made my night~ long story short I went from work (west village) to Lower east side to st marks to WILLIAMSBURG. To alphabet city. Where I ended the night dancing at a gay bar, where I was briefly judged on if I was a woman or not for the first time ever. Since wigs = drag queen in a gay bar. GOOD TIMES :D
But hey no creepy men GROPED me so all pluses! OK well techincally I had a boob grabbed by my friends friend. But he was doing it to confirm they were REAL boobs, so not counting it.
I'm ready for another west coast trip. ;_; |

woke up at 2pm today. worked on my nanorwimo novel, walked my dog, washed the dishes.
my uncle's back in the philippines for good and my grandparents are with him right now, so there isn't any blasting of The Filipino Channel, no smoke alarms going off after my grandfather burns something on the stove, no shouting matches that start with "shut up, son, the CIA isn't spying on you!".
so it's just me and my dad and my dog at home during the daytime since my mom's at work. it's. so. blessedly. quiet.
some people would be bored to tears if they were unemployed and living with their parents, but after this huge shit of a year the silence is a breath of fresh air.
and anyway, my sister and my half my burning man camp are all in san francisco if i need to party (i've been in san francisco pretty much every weekend since burning man, except for this past weekend and when i was in new york).
plus, i'm moving back to the east coast in march. in the words of the walrus from alice in wonderland, "the time has come!". |

As much as moe really doesn't agree with me, I'll have to admit that "K-ON" is pretty damn delightful. And the main character, she's retarded but in a way that doesn't get people killed our countries blown up which in essence is also delightful.
Also Ritsu and Mio are so lesbians for each other. I love it when they kick each other.
Moral of the story. Don't watch anime FOR retards .. watch anime about them, you'll be more amused.
(*Clanned doesn't count.. it's essentially a story about girls with no brains and creepy moe-laughs... avoid Clanned at all cost, unless of course you like torture) |

I woke up this morning feeling a lot better. Well, I still feel bad, but now it just feels like a regular cold. My fever's gone down two whole degrees. Yesterday I could do absolutely nothing. Even sitting up was rough. So I laid around all day long and watched the movies I'd rented (Kinky Boots and The Bucket List, both good!). They gave me Tamiflu and a fever reducer medicine. I've only taken the Tamiflu twice so far, but already it's made a big difference.
RooG came home announcing that he wasn't feeling so good. And sure enough, as of today he had a slight fever and a lot of same symptoms as me, so right now he's at the hospital waiting to get a Q-tip jammed up his nose. >_>
The nurse said that you usually develop flu symptoms two days after being exposed to it. I started feeling sick on Sunday, but on Friday, one of my students showed up to class. I asked him what was wrong, and he said his wife and son were at home with the swine flu. So I wonder if I got it from him? But really, there's no telling where I got it from. I wash my hands often, but all it takes is one contaminated train handle or door knob or...
In other news, I'm happy it's gotten colder because of the FOOD!! Winter means hot tea-- I've busted out the Celestial Seasonings holiday teas again! It also means wakame soup, nabe, and oden. I think I'll make nabe for dinner tonight. Mmmmm. Nabe. |

In LA, we don't really get the seasonal change, the falling leaves.....its people like this who show up in Walmart and serve to remind us what time it is:
I would love to see her pop out of a pile of leaves. |

I went to the hospital. The whole ordeal took a little more than two hours, which kinda sucks considering that very little of that time was spent actually speaking to a doctor or nurse. But the hospital's only 10 minutes' walk from my house, so I guess you can't complain.
They took my temperature and I had a temp of 37.4. 36 is normal body temperature here, so I had a bit of a fever. He listened to my chest with the stethoscope and asked some questions and then he said he'd give me a flu test. The flu test was a really long, thin Q-tip. He held my shoulder and said "This is gonna hurt" and plunged it in and dug around for what felt like forever. it REALLY REALLY hurt and big fat tears came spilling out of my eye. Even now my poor nostril feels violated. He gave me a paper mask to wear and sent me back to the waiting room.
Later a nurse came and grabbed me. "You've got influenza," she said and led me to this empty, tiny room and closed the door behind me. She wanted to know where I worked and whether I knew anyone that had it. I really don't have any idea where I may have gotten it from, and that seemed to worry her.
A while after the doctor came to the room and said I have influenze and I'll give you medicine. He said he didn't know whether it was swine flu or just regular flu, but as long as I take the medicine I'll be fine. I paid the money and recieved the medicine right there in the little room, cos they didn't want me walking around and contaminating others. They said to go right home and not leave for at least 2 days.
So here I am. Today is RooG's birthday (he's 30!!!!!), but he said he'd come straight home after work to look after me. :) Canceled all my classes for today and tomorrow. I have to eat lunch so I can take my first Tamiflu.
I don't think I've ever had the flu before, actually... there's a first time for everything I guess! |

So I'm settling in to my new place with awesome roommate. Things are going okay so far... My room is a mess. I need a ton of bookcases and a dresser, so things are messy as hell. Once I'm totally settled, I'll take pictures. Jonathan has renamed my cats from Bowser and Maya to Mittens and Godzilla. I am not sure how I feel about all of this, and have made that clear.
Jonathan and I are hanging out today, but really, I'm mostly listening to him play guitar. Ah well.
I'm kind of exhausted. |

I am officially sick. Fever, body aches, occassional chills, you name it. I hated to do it but I called last night to cancel my 8 AM class this morning, and the way things are going I may have to cancel the 5:45 one too. D: The swine flu is going around so I'm going to go to the hospital later to get checked out, just to be sure.
It's 3 AM... I went to bed at 11 but woke up at 1:30, miserable. :/ So I'm sitting here rewatching Sicko, the Michael Moore documentary on American healthcare, which I rented on a whim the other day.
Allz I can say is, I'm glad I live in Japan. ;_; When I'm sick like I am now, I can just go to the hospital, any one I like, and I have to pay just a little of the total cost. But now I'm seriously wondering if RooG and I should buy insurance for our trip to the US in December. We'll be there only nine days, but if God forbid we were to befall some horrible illness or accident while there, there's no way we'd be able to afford the hospital bills. D: Have you ever gotten travelers' health insurance? |

music: "Springtime for Hitler"

OH MY GOD, I HAVE FOUND THE BEST PICTURE EVAH!
It's going to be made into my next icon, TRUFAX!
Sorry if I potentially offended anyone with it, but I think it's adorable and I'm all for the over 'hit over the head with the moe=hammer Hitler'. I in no way support what Hitler did, but I would not be Nia without all of the random hitler jokes that I toss at everyone. (Which is probably why I enjoyed "The Producers" so much) |

On Monday I started My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult, and I finished it yesterday on the Oppama train platform. I couldn't put it down. I ended up kinda skimming the ending cos I couldn't wait to find out how it ended, but I went back and reread parts I skimmed properly on the train home last night. It made me cry. :( AWESOME book.
Today I started reading Atonement by Ian McEwan. This book's won a torn of awards and praise.... but it was a struggle to get through 40 pages. Just the way it was written really turned me off. I just read the full plot summary on Wikipedia, and I'm really glad I didn't force myself to read it through to the end. D: Bleah.
Sensei saw my first fight and he said I need to work on moving my legs more. "You move fine in practice, but you need to move better in tournaments." He didn't offer any advice, of course. I am vexed.
I have to get up off my butt and make dinner (today is beef fajitas, with tortillas gotten for cheap at the import store!!). But I'm too lazy and tired to move. blllaarrggghhhh |
