consumerism, my day

It should be impossible for me to walk into a random store and find a fantastic, kicking!Sanji plushy for a dollar, yet that was what I did today. I also really, really need to stop looking in the doujinshi sections of these stores, but then again, I'm utterly thrilled that I found a fantastically well drawn YYH doujin, and a well drawn Naruto one as well. So much love for YYH doujin. Also, in another store, bought a little floor folding chair that I'm currently sitting on. Such a perfect $20 investment.

Sent off a package for ashfae in the afternoon after my first class (which we spent with me basically quizing her on burial and ritual practices... learnt cool things about buddist lucky and unlucky days), then had some help setting up for me to attend the mixed martial arts class in Ube on Saturday. Both their Wends. and Sat. classes clash with my teaching schedule, but if I run after my final class on Sat. I can make it for an hour of training, which is what I'm going to try this week. It's slightly insane since I have seven hours of classes again this Sat., but oh well. Have also requested two days off in August in an attempt to get enough continous vacation time to make it worth my while to go to Kyoto and Nara. *fingers crossed*

Evening classes were all right today. I may have hated most of my trip around France and Italy a few years ago, but it does make for a damn good story. After class, I headed off to Joyful with some of the other teachers. Have learnt my lesson and stuck to pancakes with a little bit of syrup, ice cream, whipped cream and anko. Good stuff. Also garlic cheese fries which were surprisingly good. And melon soda on tap. Mwahaha!

I have my kindergarten class tomorrow so it's off to bed soon. Ja ne!
