japanese keyboards make me crazy

Right now Im sitting in this place called the Sendai Mediateque or something like that. Its a really nice modern building and on the second floor there is a ring of computers with internet that can be used for free. For 40 minutes. And they have Japanese keyboards. In other words Im typing as fast as i can right now without even thinking of whats coming out and not using punctuation marks because Japanese keyboards are really weird. I have like 3 minutes left. Jesus. Thank god im a fast typist.

Today I woke up late and just kinda lumbered around until going downtown to ride around on my bike and shop a little. Tonight I have to make dinner for myself for the first time here. Well see how that goes - it shouldnt work too well. Hopefully its edible. I have back up instant korean ramen waiting in the wings if necessary.

Oh and Ichiro broke Sislers record today. It pisses me off that he broke a record that is 84 freakin years old and its not even the headline on ESPN.com. Obviously if it had been the homerun record or the cconsecutive games record, people would care more. But I also have a feeling that the fact he isn't white or black (in other words, he isnt a typical American athlete), people would actually give a shit. Hell, ESPN.com didnt even give the guy the headline. It was the freakin Angels! I guess one of the hardest and most enduring records in the history of the game (stood longer than both the homerun record and consecutive games record) isnt worth noting as the night's headline. I think back when Sisler was playing, there werent even curveballs or sliders either. I know, its the same old "respect the asians" song and dance - but Ill keep on going til it gets done, bitch.

Oh my god I have 30 seconds left bye.
