frellnikToday I went to the movies. GANTZ came out yesterday and I have been waiting to see this movie since I first heard of it back in the summer. I really enjoyed it, but since it was rated PG14, I was NOT expecting it to be anywhere near as gory as it was. I mean..I had to look away from the screen a fair amount through out the movie. If this had been shown in Canada it would have definitely been rated R. But there were lots of kids in there and they all seemed just fine. Hell, I even saw one of my students and I know he isn't even in grade 6 yet!
Sometimes I just don't get Japan. I really don't.
I went online this morning to look for some study guides and or textbooks to help me with the JLPT N2 test that I will be taking in July. I found a series called Nihongo Somatome N2 that has 4 books: Grammar, Vocabulary, Kanji and Reading Comprehension. I am not bothering with the grammar book because I have lots of those, but the other 3 have been ordered. They weren't that expensive either, only about $13. So I ordered the three books (not the grammar one) from Amazon.ne.jp and the thing I love about Japan is I got to choose the day it will be delivered to me and the time! So it will be here ont he 1st of Febuary between 6pm and 8pm. And I pay for it at the door in cash! Nice! Now I don't have to worry about putting more on my credit cards, I can just go get the money from the ATM machine the day before delivery and pay the guy at the door. :) Very convenient!
I got my invitation to Aya's wedding in the mail today..or maybe it came yesterday, I don't know. Anyways, she's getting married on April 2nd and I can't wait! I'm now trying to figure out if I should go down Friday and come back after the wedding on Saturday, or go EARLY Saturday morning and then come back on Sunday...or just fork over the extra money and go from Friday night until Sunday. The other thing is finding a place to stay....I don't know any places that are all the close to where the wedding will be held...and the hotel where the wedding will be held is $209 a night plus 15 bucks for breakfast.... also check in isn't until 3pm and the wedding starts at 1:30...so I'm not sure what to do with my bags during the wedding...
The hotel I usually stay at is rather far from where the wedding will be held...so I need to think..and I should probably talk to Aya's family. Maybe they can suggest a hotel to me that isn't too expensive.
I wish it was only Friday night...instead it's Sunday night and I have to work tomorrow...and all week...when all I really want to do is sleep. I have a stupid low grade fever that just won't go away. I don't even feel sick....but I feel tired. Right now my temp is at 37.5C which, if I was in Canda or the US would be normal...but for some reason when you are in Japan your body temp sits at about 35.3C. I don't know why, but it does. So I'm taking lots of Vitamin C and hoping it will go away.
I'm also going to bed early. It's 8:30pm and I'm heading off to bed. I won't sleep right away..but at least I'm in bed and hopefully that will help. I'm tired, I'm just not all that sleepy. :(
On a happier note, I bought Skippy Crunchy Peanut Butter today! It's the only peanut butter I can find here and I've only found it at one store. Peanut Cream (the consistancy of margarine) just isn't the same. lol
