So this is what a weekend feels like

Ahhh. Well it's over now-too bad the weather was crappy. After getting back from my trip to Mt Fuji I worked the following 19 days with only one day off. It's nice to finally get a proper weekend but unfortunately it rained most of the time. Anyways I haven't posted anything in a while and I'll use use the aforementioned reason as my excuse.

So what's new with me? Not too much-as usual! In terms of my health, I've pretty much come to the conclusion that I'm going to have pink eye until I come home to Canada. Yes you remember that problem from like three friggen months ago? Anyways the first batch of eye drops the doctor gave me didn't work. I couldn't be bothered to do anything more about it so I just left it. That was until someone asked me if I was tired. I can stand the odd irritation and I can stand having to wipe the crap out of my eyes in the morning and at night but if I actually look like I have a problem then that's a problem. So I went back to the eye doctor, paid basically the same amount of money and got the same stuff only this time I also got some stuff you smear on your eyelid twice a day. Anyways two weeks has past and I've run out of drugs again and the problem still isn't solved. I may or may not go back a third time-we'll see.

I spent the first day of my weekend in Ikebukero buying a new pair of headphones to replace the ones that got broken as a result of a completely unavoidable accident wherein I tried to beat a railway crossing barrier with my bike. I suppose I shouldn't say "tried" because that insinuates failure which isn't true. I succeeded-kind of. The barrier hit the bag on my back which somehow knocked my earphones out of my ears and one of them got caught in the spokes of my bike and was consequently chopped off. Anyways these things happen-there's really no way you can avoid situations like running railway barriers!

The last big news of the day is that I'm getting a new housemate tomorrow. I've actually known about this for a couple weeks now. He's from the States, North Carolina specifically, and seems pretty friendly. I've been chatting with him on MSN. He says he's actually pretty half decent at speaking Japanese and seems to be one of those people who are crazy for all things Japanese. You know the type. Actually he'll probably be the first person here that I meet who is like that. Most people I've worked with enjoy living here but they have no special love or fascination for Japan. They're probably sticking around because they have nothing for them back at home. In terms of a work future I mean. It's easier to work here and avoid reality!

let me get to sleep
