Mr Man!

Yeah, that's me!

Yesterday in Warabi, a sports festival was being held, and the different blocks here competed in different games. It was really funny and I met a lot of new funny people. Mostly small Japanese children. We played catch, only when I was the one being hunted, everyone else was the hunter, and when I was hunting I was alone. It was great fun! And I did an amazing promotion with my fivefinger shoes in the 100m sprint!

I also got my Amazon Kindle that I ordered a few days ago together with some friends who also felt that reading some books would be nice. It's amazingly awesome this far, and it's hard to tell you're reading from an electronic device really.

We're almost done with the first book in school and according to everyone else the next one is gonna be harder, but they said kanji would be hard too, so I don't know if I can trust them anymore ;)

Tomorrow's plan is to go to Lilla Dalarna to have some real Swedish food and mostly just to check the place out. It's located in Roppongi, which means "Six Trees" if you want to know.

My hand washing is going pretty well except for that the clothes dry up reaaally slowly afterwards. I do my very best to squeeze the most out of them before I hang them up, but it just won't do. Any suggestions except for a dryer?

See ya, rockstars!

Omedetou gozaimasu, Marcus-chan!

Yesterday we had a birthday dinner for Marcus who joined the "23 years and awesome" - club. We made tempura and Emma made marängsviss. It took some time to make the dinner though, and since you have to be out of the dining area before 0.00, we had the dessert in a nearby park. It's still around 19-23° at night here, so it was really nice.

Some interesting theories by various Japanese people:
- Drinking cold drinks in summer time lowers your body temperature so the risk for catching a cold increases.
- Eating natto makes your blood flow better.

Schools is going okay. My new class is a bit more noisy than the old one, and I liked my old class, but I wanted to speed up a bit. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case with all of our new teachers. Yesterday we didn't learn anything new at all. No words, no grammar. We made old things in the book, and now we're almost at the same chapter in the book as my old class. Sometimes I want to skip school so I can actually study, but I'm aiming for my 100% attendance so I can get a few extra coins after a year.

I've been out running a few times a week lately, and I can already feel the increase in my daily energy. I've had a problem with being almost sick for about one week at a time, and it's been stopping me from getting good routines on running.

I've also started to start my mornings with just waking up, and sitting up. Just sitting for 10-20 minutes, and calm down and just have some quiet time before breakfast. It's really refreshing!

When we went food shopping yesterday I also bought a loaf of seemingly dark bread, so I'm gonna go try it out now! Bai bai!

Achievement Unlocked: Complete a guitar set

YES! It's complete! Now I have a fully functional guitar amp (VOX) and a fully awesome guitar (Ibanez) and all for less than 3000 sek. And it's really good stuff as well, so don't you worry!

I just found that myspace has finally updated the video section so I'm posting a link to Ultimate Awesome's videos right HERE! Check them out now! Because now me and my friend, Bill, are getting ready for creating some new brutal awesomeness here in Japan!

If you want to see some pictures my friend took from the national museum of Tokyo (and some other photos) you can check my friend Erik's blog.

Oh, and I'm sorry for being really bad at updating. I guess I don't live an interesting enough life here to have anything to tell you about. Or I'm living a too interesting life to have time to write blogs? Well, I'll leave the answer to your imagination and have a great night!

And remember to live your life you want, not the one others expect you to live! (Think about it ;D)
