Today I have... Thread.

Bought this today, simply because of brand recognition and weebish-ness. Not sure what they're actually called, not being able to read the kanji, but they were pretty tasty.

Learned an interesting new word today. 'Nomunication', a combination of 'nomu' (to drink) and 'communication'. It basically means 'drunken bullshitting'.
I don't know how widely used it is, or even if it's just something the drunk salaryman I was sitting next to made up, but I like it, and I'm going to use it more often.
 
Over the last few days, I completed my Tech School course and played desert bus IRL.
 
Learned that person running that Pokethon stream few days ago and taking money for showing fake shit, pretending it's real, was RacieB...I am not even surprised.
 
Today I was reminded that long before Chris made Magi-chan, there was an old mecha anime called Dragonar in which one of the three heroes had a special machine. It was a scout / electronic countermeasures type machine with a special computer. The computer's name: Magi-chan. In the episodes before #10, he uses it to fake attacks through a computer system in an enemy base and wreaks havoc. Twas fun.
The show was made in the late 80s I think, so before we got our disgusting Magi-chan, the Nips had their own and it was cool.
 
Today we had some pretty bad windstorms. I had an approximately 15 foot high, perfectly healthy evergreen in my back yard topple over. Ripped out with the roots and all. It almost hit my house! Ugh, now I'll need to get a landscaping company to come out and remove it (read $$$) ☹
 
Today, after only having to pay for one drink all night, I arrived at the conclusion that drunken salarymen are the best thing about being in Japan.
Also ended up at a food stall (yatai) in Nakasu, Fukuoka's red light district. Turns out it serves as an off-duty area for the local prostitutes. My Japanese vocabulary has been usefully expanded as a result.

Edit: None of them could pronounce it properly, but there are now people here who know that the word, 'blumpkin' exists in English.

Finally home alone after spending the week with my new gf (that's right, see ya later virgins...) Went to the ballet for the first time (Swan Lake) performed by Russians no doubt. Enjoyed myself, but I know I didn't catch the gay because the entire """plot""" didn't make any sense to me. But those commie bitches sure can dance.
