It's Obon this week here in Japan, where families spend time remembering those who have passed, more on that here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/obon if you're interested. But I had nothing planned, so I have literally done a whole bunch of nothing this week. It has been great and boring all at the same time. Today was the first time I really left Kure all week. I went to Hiroshima to do some window shopping and search for a particular present for one of my friends... I didn't find it. I wore heels allllll day. Millions of Japanese girls do it everyday. So I though I must see what all the fuss is about. And while I did feel pretty and girly all day, I will probably NEVER do it again. I have blisters in places on my feet I didn't even know you could get blisters on. I don't understand how they do it. Maybe they're crazy... or maybe they just can't feel their feet anymore. climbing the latter to my bed tonight might be a bit of a challenge.
In a couple of weeks I'm going to go up and see my friend Brenna in Himeji, because she will be leaving soon. As would I if I hadn't renewed. I'm a bit sad about that, but I'll manage. One of my friends that I used to work with, Kristen, is thinking about coming for a visit in January. So that will be very nice, if she can make it.
I am a little bit obsessed with Sweeney Todd right now. I enjoy it very much, even though it's a bit disturbing. I don't mind the grotesqueness that much.
I'm finished.
