[Sunday, December 21, 2008] De-stressing from Finals
Today was a fun day~ I overslept because of pulling two all-nighters in a row so when Luke called me at 11:30, I was like "CRAP!" and showered and got dressed while he waited in the lounge.
I went to the post office and dropped off my 年賀状, here's hoping they get to Japan in time for the New Years! Then we headed downtown where parking was only $0.25 for an hour. The person before us even left 45 minutes on the meter!
We went to an Indian buffet at Natraj for lunch. Garlic nan FTW~ The mango lassi was amazing, and a lot of the food incredibly good! There were some items on the buffet not to my taste, but the dishes I liked, I REALLY liked them--they were amazing! After annihilating (or being annihilated by?) three plates we stopped by The Body Shop so I could pick up Matt's Christmas present. They had exactly what I was looking for--half price!! >:O I was so excited! Also picked up some Vitamin E makeup remover wipes, for a whopping $14. Don't know why I paid that much, when usually I get the Nutrogena ones for $6 at Target. Then we stopped by Best Buy, experienced really poor customer service that made me loudly say phrases that included "shitty" and "balls," and I exchanged Sims 2 Apartment Life for Bon Voyage! Farewell to sleep, haha.
Stopped by GR/eats so I could go to the bathroom (had a big lunch, haha) and the lady running the place was kind of disappointed when we only bought drinks and didn't order food. We were both pretty full from lunch still, plus they were charging Tokyo style prices for just-okay sounding food. In other words, pricey! But Luke left a nice big tip 'cause he felt bad~
Found the new branch of Max Karaoke and talked Luke into wailing with me for an hour. Pretty much rocked. Ended up at a Japanese market, and I found Meltykiss for only $2/box! Usually they're $4~5, so I bought $10 worth ^_^ The grocery bagger was this insanely cute boy, and I really wished I could talk to him. Against all better judgment entered clothing store ANAP just to look and walked out with a new pair of shoes for New Years, a mid-length zip-up hoodie, and a hot pink winter scarf. Also a $55 charge on my credit card... thank god for sales.
Couldn't stop thinking about box at the supermarket, so went back and asked him for his phone number. His reaction was awesome, I grinned endlessly after, and Luke says he can now never call me chicken =D
Swung by Ktown for dinner at BCD Tofu House on Wilshire and Kingsley. Soondubu ♥ I love it sooo much!
There were a lot of other tofu houses in the area that were probably better than this one, but Luke's been there before and said it was good. So I figured "reliably decent" was the best way to go 'cause I didn't want to risk accidentally picking a really crappy place at random. Turned out to be really tasty and served of banchan--I give it a 4/5! BCD Tofu House is supposed to be like the Denny's of soon dubu because it's 24-hours but I didn't have a problem with it. Service was fast and we got everything we needed no problem. Food was super tasty, so we must have caught them at a good time~ The kimchi that came as banchan wasn't my favorite kind, but my soondubu was pretty damn tasty.
This foray into the relatively unknown (for me) world of Korean dining illustrates that I really need to take a Korean class. Enough so that I can at least read it and communicate with the non-English speaking waitresses at tofu houses!!

[Wednesday, July 30, 2008] Slumming in Paradise?
I'm back in California and I can't sleep. I do sleep at night, but it's only for about two or three hours at a time, and when I wake up I can never go back to bed. I think I feel restless... When I was in Japan, there was never enough time to do anything. Now I have so much free time on my hands--no money to go out, so I just sit at home all day, eating.
Everyday I wish I could go to the Waseda gym, haha, because now I have all this free time to work out! Today we had a cardio-kickboxing lesson with Aaron's mom. It felt really good to be active again, and I can definitely tell that my body is a lot stronger than before I went to Japan because I had much more energy and even at the end felt like I could keep going.
My hand is getting better... I'm trying to be good about changing my bandages. All I have to do is look at the burns and the fear of it leaving scars is enough to motivate me to clean and rebandage the wounds. It really itches but I'm afraid to scratch it so I just 我慢.
