Well I finally got my cellphone and my Kyo doll. They both came on the same day (tuesday) Kyo came first and about 2 hours later my cellphone came with some clothes that didnt fit in my suitcases and Trots (who is one of my fav stuffed horses...I have many(yes, I'm almost 19 and I happily admit to loving stuffed animals) I took some more detail pics of the Kyo doll since it's hard to see many of his details from the pics, espessially his corset and wings. However, I'll post those later since I can't find the usb for my cellphone, and I'm not paying the insane price to email pics to the computer anymore since I bought a mini SD. Also on wednesday the internet people came at like 9:30 am. I got my apartment mostly cleaned up the night before but then I had to stop because I got too tired, so the morning of I threw the remaining shit in the closet and in my bed drawer. So I need to finish cleaning all that up one day. About the internet...the guy wanted me to call Kentaro (My friend who helped me call them and stuff) so I was hesitant but I did....as I expected he was asleep and I woke him up so I felt horrible. But my internet wont work because I need an ID and password to get into it, there is an ID on my paper with something i think is a password but I entered it and it wont work. The guy told me I had to have kentaro call a number or something for it. Why can't shit just be easy.
I went to tokyu hands a few days ago with the intention to buy a comforter and curtains. Of course I came back with neither. I had 50,000 yen with me, the comforters with the exception of the one I didn't like, were all over 25,000 yen. I would have got it but I needed to make the money all last until saturday and im going to 2 concerts...so I decided to wait. The curtain I really like is not made big enough to fit my windows which are both 180cmX180cm sliding doors. The curtains to fit that size are all pretty expensive and have a limited selection. In the bedroom I want black out since I am a fiend about any light at all when I sleep and of course the curtains with the blackout material on the back are considerbly more expensive. We're looking upwards of 35,000 yen. So for the reasons mentioned above I did not buy those either. Right now I have 3 towels pinned up on my curtain rod, they look tacky and only go halfway down my window but they are only for privacy and the 2nd half of my window is frosted and the balcany covers it. Of course they block very little light so I have a terrible time falling asleep. Instead I bought more cooking shit, a fitted sheet, pillowcase, and blanket. I already bought a fitted sheet for my bed but it was too small since I have a pillowtop, and I was too stupid to look on the otherside of the rack to find the ones with a depth measurement. This one fits the bed fine, actually its a little bit big since its 30cm depth and my bed is 25, but I can just tuck the extra. I also bought a nice warm blanket, it is thicker and bigger than my rilakkuma one. I think I can go a little while longer without a comforter provided the temp doesn't suddenly drop to freezing. Since I am always freezing I can never have too many blankets. It is really amazing how much better I can sleep with a pillowcase and a sheet. Sleeping on the bare mattress and pillow is kind of weird, rather than waking up 5-6 times during the night, since I got the pillow and sheet i've been only waking up 1-2 times which is normal for me. It also makes my apartment feel so much more homey. It's weird but it is true. I'm glad I'm starting to settle in here, I never really settled in at the akasaka apartment because 1) it was essentially a hotel and 2) I always had it in the back of my mind that I was not staying there.
The last 2 days I have been sleeping and playing world of warcraft mostly. Since most of my friends are out of town, or are busy before New years, I also have a friend visiting japan but she's in Kyoto until after newyears. Today I decided to make a trip to the grocery store and daiso. Both places were a madhouse espessially since I was at the grocery store at 5:00 (never again) and people are getting ready for new years. At Daiso I got a ton of random crap that I needed. Mostly dishes and silverware since I am tired of having to do dishes everyday since I had only 2 plates, 2 bowls, 2 spoons, 1 butterknife 1 fork. Now I have 4 bowls (2 of them are salad bowls so I dont use up my soup bowls for my salad.) 4 spoons, 4 forks, 2 butterknives, 3 plates and a mixing bowl, and 2 small mixing bowls (so I dont use up one of my eating bowls when I beat an egg or make pancakes) So hopefully I have doubled the time between doing dishes.
At the grocery store I ended up not getting a bunch of things that I intended to get....I'll have to pick them up at the conviencestore tomorrow I guess. Most notably eggs. I have been eating a TON of egg this week. I know it's not good to eat that much egg but the past 4 or 5 months I have not really had good eggs because cooking good scrambled eggs or dippy eggs (eggs over easy-I'm from maryland, we call them dippy eggs XD) in a saucepan on a crappy IH burner that doesnt have a good temperature range made making good eggs really hard and they often burned to the pan so I gave up. Now I have a nice frying pan and gas burners that you can adjust the temp on very easily, so I can make delicious eggs. Oh yeah I also have a peppermill now so eggs with fresh ground pepper=excellent. I do not like preground pepper, it tastes like shit. Now that I have a kitchen that is possible to cook in I am trying to take advantage of it since I love to cook. However most of the western food I want to make requires an oven which i dont have yet and most of the japanese food I want to make requires a ricecooker which I also don't have yet. So today I decided to make Gyoza , I didn't make it from scratch but I do plan to eventually. I bought the premade dumplings at the grocerystore and fried them up. It was excellent and pretty cheap. They are also very easy and quick to make (if the dumplings are premade).
Tomorrow I'm going to see Noiz in Yokohama, I'm so excited, Noiz had become my fav live band thus far and it has been awhile since I've seen them. Then on Sunday I get to see Merry again! Then it's newyears, I love new years. It's the only holiday I like actually. I'm so excited for this weekend!
PS: I'm also thinking of maybe moving this blog to blogspot and making it all public, and using my journal for my private rantings. I'm not sure yet, if anyone uses blogspot let me know what you think of it. I'll probably play around with it before moving it.
