Storm

6:36pm JST Wednesday 3 September 2003

Finally. A storm worth writing home about. Still softer than an awesome summer storm in Houston, but it could be considered a good first storm of the summer in Houston. Lightning. Thunder. Slanted rain. Nothing outstanding.

People used umbrellas while walking in covered breezeways.

Yumi

8:50pm JST Wednesday 3 September 2003

Fun lesson with Yumi today. As a result, I'm late to meet Shin again this week. Unacceptable; somethin's got to give. I don't meet with her next Wednesday; maybe we can change our meeting day to Saturday or something. I am usually free on Saturday evenings.

It's not just that I was 8 minutes late leaving our lesson that I'm late for Shin. In Shinjuku, the Yamanote line wasn't moving. What the fuck is up with that? Two weeks in a row there's been fucked up delays on the trains. good thing is that I'm learning new lines to get to the same places. Today I used Saikyu line from Shinjuku to Shibuya which was only 1 stop instead of 4, so it's faster to "Shibuya" but there's a long walk to get from the Saikyu platform of Shibuya to the main part of Shibuya.

I'm meeting Yumi on Saturday (in 3 days); maybe we can switch to Saturday from now on.

This weekend I spent a lot of time messing with my website, most notably installing the latest SpamAssassin (v 2.55) and goofing around with BBST (not to any tangible result). Wrote to Fred cause I haven't heard from him in a while and got a couple of lunch meetings set up with Nova students for next weekend. Satoko (leaving for CA on 20 September) and Rieko (>M< voice a couple weeks ago).

I'm glad to have these set up; I haven't been able to converse Japanesely for basically some weeks since I've seen Nami at Fujikyu. I occassionally get emails from her that she's still working at 6 and 7am, but she'll write to me when she's less busy. Wow, that's late.

1am is late enough for me; I'm going to bed. But I want to play MarbleBlast.

2:00am

Okay, 2am is late enough for me. bed bed bed now.
