Go to Gym and do Deadliffs in the morning. Match my previous PB for single rep in sets of 3/2/2. Feel pretty stoked because of it. Go have a cold shower. Come out to watch someone crying in pain.

Is this what it feels like to be the Ideal Zenny?

If you were the Ideal Zenny (in the Platonic sense) then you would be both the man out the shower and the man crying in pain. At once.

Well now I am full of caffeine and have to sit at a desk in an office job.

Is the Meeple Hell?

The Meeple is Hell, yes.

Moving this weekend. Finally will stop having to drive an hour to work and an hour home. Now will be ~10-15 minutes. Yay!

Less yay is the actual moving part. I hate moving. I hate boxes. I hate trying to find everything I boxed up, and find a place for everything.

I do like having gone through the pantry to find food that expired a year or two before we even moved to our current place, or even the one before. WHY DO WE STILL HAVE THOSE?!

You obviously need materials for that organic nuclear bomb written in your destiny.

Time moves differently in pantries. It's still good. Try it. =)

Dammit, I keep wanting to read that as "time moves differently in panties". I think i work with too many perverts.

DjinnAndTonic · « **Reply #459 on:** June 16, 2013, 07:35:18 AM »

Eh, either way works, really.

So, there's a drink here called Umeshu. It's Ume, Japanese plum, and Nihonshu, or sake. Last year, a friend of mine changed up the recipe and made Umequila, which you can guess what that is.

This year, I am making 4 liters of it. Party time.... in 3 months.

I knew there was a reason I had homoerotic fantasies about you, Zenny <3

Because he is a human who is easy to manipulate because of his emotional instability?

Hmm, are you ok Snow?

Grefter · « **Reply #465 on:** June 21, 2013, 02:24:55 AM »

He was fine as of last weekend when he had attended a demonstration, that is the last I am aware of, but I have not been around most of the week either.

Clear Tranquil · « **Reply #466 on:** June 21, 2013, 11:50:13 AM »

Yeah, the riots were the main headline on the BBC this morning, apparently some dude died or something. Man, if you've been/are out in that Snow do take care~

I am having mild panic attacks.

I am staying next to Gayatri Spivak for the rest of my time in Ghana. She's in Kofi Annan and I'm in Rosa Parks. And oh my god. OH MY GOD. I can't do anything in my room anymore I have to step out. I am.. .. omg I have to go out to lunch with herrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Edit
more imp: hope all's seamless/well/could be Snow.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #468 on:** June 24, 2013, 02:32:39 AM »

I'm okay! The protests have reached an absolute ideological nadir, though, which means, in return, that I'm not going to any of them any time soon, and I think they'll start waning in due time.

In related news: this year's Slut Walk was absolutely -gorgeous-. I posted some pictures in my profile, it was all kinds of great.

In other related news: I'm apparently - 8.75/- 8.51 in the Political Compass test.

Well, I can finally say my mouth is cavity free!

...no really, I had like 6 cavities (one HUGE one that was in jeopardy of requiring a root canal), finally got the last of them filled in. That'll teach me to not do semi-yearly dental check ups <_<;

Cotigo · « **Reply #470 on:** June 26, 2013, 05:14:52 PM »

I recently listened to a lot of songs I haven't listened to in a long, long time. Most of them videogame OSTs. A lot of nostalgia brought back, but also a lot of...

god, what the fuck am I doing with my time here? I can read most things fine (Heisig, baby), but... my listening and speaking skills in Japanese are wholly subpar. What I'd expect to have upon COMING to the country, not being in the midst of my time here.

It's put me in a really depressive mood. Like, I go out when I can, try to talk to Japanese people when I go out, but maybe I need to step it up. Maybe I need to stop reading so much in English when I'm relaxing, try to immerse myself in Japanese. But then again, I do want to keep writing, which has been coming along more.

I don't even know what I'm rambling about. Maybe I'm just drunk. Still, you'd think I'd be able to understand more than half of what's being sung in these songs after being here two years. Maybe I'm just wasting my time.

God

just
Fuck you Meeple.
Fuck
you
fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Grefter · « **Reply #471 on:** June 26, 2013, 08:51:12 PM »

Can you understand half of what gets sung in English without really turning your ear to it? Lyrics have the flow of language all fucked up, the rhythm is all off all the time. No shock that you still struggle with it for a second language.

That or maybe you are stupid.

DjinnAndTonic · « **Reply #472 on:** June 27, 2013, 08:02:46 AM »

Zenny: put it in perspective. Go find a random group of foreigners who have lived in Japan for 1-3 years and see how good their Japanese is. When you find out you're inevitably better than at least 50% of them by virtue of putting in -any effort whatsoever-, you'll feel better and not worry about it so much. This 'not worrying' thing will also improve your speaking/listening fluency. And you get to do it by acting superior to others and reveling in their failures! It's win-win!

Yeah, don't measure fluency by musical lyrics. Worry if there are serious gaps in communication between persons. When did you become such a baby? This is not the Zenny I know! To be sad, frustrated, drunk, call upon God and then reveal your lust for Meeple. . .
