This and That

Whew harsh words in that last post of mine. I can safely say, self awareness isn't always a good thing. (but on most counts it is, of course).
So I'm just killing time in a warm starbucks. Sipping the new cherry blossomed flavored frappeccino. It's sort of a sugared white vanilla concoction with pretty pink dye thrown in. It's pretty tasty. But anything bigger than a "short" size is too much. It's just too sweet. In japan, they've got "short size" which is smaller than the tall. It's about...well... It's shorter than the length of my iPhone by about 3cm and about the same width. Haha, so imagine how ridiculously tiny that is for a drink. I remember when I first saw a girl sipping one of these sizes, over a year and a half ago (wow!) I was like, holy crap, that's smaller than a kid sized happy meal drink. What's the point, you get three sips and you're done! Well my dears... A year and a half in japan has shown me the light. And I have more consciousness about size and what's really necessary to satisfy a crave. Nothing more than the size of my tiny hand.
Watching the rain pour down outside. It's the first rain of the (new?) season after about 4 months of snow. I think they say it'll still snow a few more times before the seasons end, but it's good to see some rain melt all that ugly ice on the ground.
So killing time before I head off to the cinema to watch hurt locker. To be honest, I have absolutely NO desire to see it, but.... Everyone says it's good. Sigh. Haha, so see it I shall. I'm sure I'll think it's great when I come out, I just have no initial interest to see it.

Yesterday was "White Day" in japan. I'm still a little confused about which is which. But it's basically valentines day for the opposite sex. And it's just as huge of a holiday here as valentines is. Yup. Valentines day and it's counterpart, white day, I would say, are almost a bigger deal here than in the states! Scary, huh?
Went to a yakiniku dinner (grill your own BBQ meat) with Jesse dan satako krista and dan2. It was fun. All toucan eat meat and veges and alcohol for 2 hours --> $23. Pretty tasty. But of course by the end we all had eaten way too much and weren't as satisfied after as we should have been.
Typing on my iPhone makes my eyes wiggle in their sockets. So ithink I'll have to call it a day.
Miss ya guys,
can't wait to catch up again,
