Golden Weak?

So we've entered the legendary Japanese Golden Week. Only we should call it boring week. Everyone either went back to their hometowns, or is extremely busy. And somehow, even though it's a week straight of holidays, people still have class! I don't understand - if people went home because it's a break, how can there still be class?? It makes NO SENSE!!

Ahem. Anyway. I woke up late today and went to dance practice where there were both a bunch of freshmen newbies, including a few really cute girls, and a couple fat white people including this guy apparently nicknamed Fat Chris. He was also at the club event last weekend and he's one of these perpetually sweating fat people who smells like livestock. Have you ever seen someone make an entire club smell by himself? I have. It was seriously like having a buffalo in the room.

I took Yuko out for dinner tonight and a few things occurred to me: (1) remember that episode of Seinfeld where Jerry's girlfriend wears the same dress everytime they see each other? The black one? And he wonders whether he just hit the same spot in the laundry cycle, if she's like batman with a closet full several of the same dress, or she really only has that dress? Well that kind of thing happens a lot in Japan. Some families seem to do their laundry all together almost daily (including my relatives), so there are a few people who seem to wear the same thing almost everyday. Yuko pulled that on me today. She was wearing the same exact outfit as the first time I met her. I wouldn't have noticed probably but I consciously tried to make sure not to wear any article of clothing I was wearing the last time I saw her. But sure enough .. she was wearing the same turqoise long sleeve shirt, cream t-shirt, coat, and black jeans. Disconcerting. (2) She's a much more shy and awkward girl than I thought. She's one of these people that doesn't look at you in the eye when she talks, only when she listens. She'll be saying something and kind of looking down. (3) She's also 18! She said her 23 year old sister wants to meet me and I was like "Yes, next time please bring her out with us! Please!"

Okay gotta sleep. But what's on bill for this most golden of weeks? Tomorrow? More fun with Takako, Mayumi, and Hina-ppin. Monday? Apparently going out with with Hyonjin and Minyoung, if they actually don't cancel on me for once. And after that? Tokyo for a few days and then back to Sendai to party up with the guys from dance. Then hanging out with the likes of Miki and her friends and then Eriko and some other kids. Full schedule. Better get some freaking work done for once.
