Only a few more weeks left in Japan. Kind of crazy to think about that... and sad...
but, I'm excited to go home!
Final exam today, then Wednesday, then a paper, and then I'm done! Hoorah.
This post lacks in content, but I just felt like writing something. Oh yeah, I got a set of cups at Mister Donut on Saturday. They're awesome, and I'm going to use them when I get back to school.
Time to go...
xoxo,
Toshi

If you have a few minutes to answer these questions for a project I'm doing I'd really appreciate it! You can email your answers to rohlicht@msu.edu or just type them as a comment. Thanks, your help is wicked awesome.
Questions:
What is your impression of fast food in America? The whole picture, like, is it good- bad- ugly- what specific things do you like and dislike about it.
How often do you eat fast food? Do you eat fast food?
When you eat fast food do you normally take out, or eat at the restaurant?
Have you ever worked a part time job at a fast food restaurant?
if you have, did you like it? what was it like? what was hard about it, what was easy?
Do you think working at a fast food restaurant carries a bad reputation? What sort of reputation do you think it has?

If you haven't worked at a fast food restaurant, and were looking for a job, would you consider it? Why, or why not.
How is service at fast food restaurants? Good? Bad? Ugly?
That's all for now, let me know! I appreciate everyones answers, no need to leave a name, I'd prefer if you answered annonymously, but if you are a user and wanna leave your name that's fine too. Also if it's too much, you can just answer what you want and then finish some other time.

It has been a series of ups and downs lately. That's pretty much the only way I can put it. I suppose the biggest of the ups came this afternoon when I went to LOFT with Tsunako and Mayu. We saw these rain boots that looked like frogs, and somehow we convinced Tsunako to try one on, and she nearly fell over onto a table with a bunch of glass bowls on it trying to take it off. Things like that seem to happen to Tsunako fairly often. It was a funny afternoon.
I AM UPDATING MY LIVEJOURNAL!
AHHHH!
Hey I'm coming back to American in May. I am excited and sad.
White Chocolate Kit Kat bars are sooooo delicious.

I may say I've been studying a whole lot, but the truth is, I don't think I really have been. My back is sore right now, and I've been writing for like an hour. I have a pimple on my chin, and I need to shave. If I could go out tomorrow and play golf I would be really happy. If I could watch "School of Rock" tomorrow I'd also be pretty happy.
What was I doing on Valentine's Day last year? I have no idea. After I finish this post I'm going to look back through my old posts to see if I did anything in particular. This year I think I'm going to go shopping or something. Maybe buy myself a pair of shoes and a coat. I'm not sure yet, but spending money sounds like fun.
I think I'm going to stop studying this evening, and just go take my exam tomorrow and then enjoy the day!
XOXO,
TJ

Today is a thinking day. I have a lot on my mind...
I just watched this movie called "My Sassy Girl," which was totally awesome, but as with most romantic movies, it made me cry. I guess it's the whole "what you see on TV or in movies isn't real life" thing. I don't know though.
I studied a lot today, and now I'm tired, so I'm going to rest.
XOXO
TJ
ps. I just realized the song I'm listening to is titled "koibito"

Today was a good day, I feel better.
We're going to make a movie with the students in DESA.. I'm really excited. Today I went out to lunch and coffee with Tomo-chan (Shima), Yuki, and Yuko to discuss topics. I think it's going to be a pretty funny movie. Although when I say cross between "Kate and Leopold", "The Last Samurai", and "Kung Pow," you may lose interest... OR, you may get really exited. I do guarantee one thing- you will not feel insulted by our non-intelligence. Make sense?
Let's see what else. I have a lot of reading to do tonight, because I watched a lot of movies this weekend.
I'm really excited about living with Karen next fall, and I'm also thinking about going home this summer instead of spending it here in Kyoto... We'll see what happens though, I have a lot of thinking to do.
XOXO,
TJ

He has to do something right?
I want to do my hair tomorrow. Then I want to go shopping. Then I want to take a nap.
Then probably finish my homework, perhaps somewhere other than home because I never get any work done here.
I am sick of all of my clothes. I'm sick of my shoes, I'm sick of my socks. I'm sick of my shirts most of all... Even the ones I have gotten recently, I don't really like them anymore. Oh well.
Today I thought about doing some homework at various occasions, but I've been really tired all day for some reason, and decided I wouldn't do any work because I didn't want to.

So.. I'll be honest. I love J Pop. I rent the cds in the J Pop section, I watch the J Pop live concert shows with every hit singer doing their hit single, and I love every minute. Why? I'm not really sure, I just started listening to the pop stuff because it was easy to find, and easily accessible, and it just grew on me.
I don't know what I'll do when I get back to the states!! Ahhh...
Anyways, yeah, if you all are wondering if anything new is going on, then yeah, there is some new stuff... for one, I am obsessed with J Pop. WOO!
On a different note, I am excited for this new semester because I'm going to try to do my own thing a lot... 45 people is too small for a school. I'm ready to shoot myself, so I suppose it's time for me to spend as little time at school as possible right? Sounds like a good plan to me too!
xoxo,
TJ

Wowow, I haven't updated in ages. Anyways, it's been an interesting winter break thus far. I regret choosing to live in an apartment for the break because it isn't very comfortable, and is lonely.. with no internet either. I thought maybe I'd study my Japanese more because I didn't have the interenet to distract me, but it turns out I just watch tv instead. Although, I did get two issues of the New Yorker from my dad that I'm reading, so that's fun! woo.
Basically ups and downs sums up the break so far. It was really great to be with my dad for a while, and see my cousins. It was especially great seeing John and Tim for a couple days, and being able to think about state as well as get silly drunk. Hanging out with Eiko has also been awesome- I feel like over this break the two of us have gotten a lot closer, and I'm really happy. She's a great friend! I did get a little too drunk the other day at her concert though, and I ended up playing their trombone players trombone... ugh, what an idiot (me).
The downs, well they come for a number of reasons... particularly not being around my family, and have the majority of my REALLY close friends here go home for the winter. The other reason goes without mentioning, but yeah, basically it's been the dumps whenever I'm alone. Another reason why the apartment is poopy.. that and it's wicked dusty so I sneeze a lot. I am really excited about sleeping in the house tonight!!! WOO!
Yesterday was Christmas... I woke up around noon, had okonomiyaki with Lizzy and Brett, then sat around my apartment for a few hours, took a nap, woke up feeling sorry for myself, so I went out and watched "Finding Nemo." What a fun movie, definitely put me in a good mood. Especially the part where the lobsters talk and have Boston accents... awww.
Alright, well I'm going to go to bed shortly, and hopefully have lots of good dreams.
Goodnight,
TJ

I'm really lucky to know the people that I know. Cheesy post time? Perhaps it's that time...
I don't want to single anyone out though, so maybe it's best if I don't say names or get into specifics, but I'm really glad I have people in my life who care about me, and I care about... if that makes sense? I wish I could write witty livejournal updates like other people, I can't. Hah.
Let's see... I like riding my bike in the crist cold weather. Today was one of those days. Some people may hate it, but I really enjoy it. I love the winter. I love it. It's wonderful. I love cold. I love crisp. I love lots of clothes and heaters and blankets and soup. I like coffee too.
I like music. I am a fan of music straight up. I like show tunes, I like hip hop, I like rap, I like jazz, I like pop, I like ska, I like punk, I like oldies, I like dance, I like 80s, I like classical, I like house, I like kids tunes, I like girly songs, I like it all. It's all awesome. I don't really like some stuff actually. So maybe that isn't an entirely true statement. Anyways, I like it. I like it a lot.
I like it when the waffles stick together... sticking together's what good waffles do.
xoxoxo,

was this corny? I'll delete it if the overwhelming number of people think it was worthless.

life is too short to be mean to people.
life is too short to be negative.
but life is long enough to make mistakes, and it is long enough to grow up and get over things.
give it time, and things that are supposed to happen will happen.
and of course, everyone has a heart, I think I'm going to start using mine more

So I got a haircut last week sometime, and I miss it... After getting my haircut (it's pretty short) I purchased this hair style magazine that my friend is on the cover of, and it's all about winter hair styles, and they're all longer, and now I wish I had my hair... pooh.
On a completely different note, this song reminds me of senior year of high school. I remember those time. Me First and the Gimme Gimme's are neat. They do covers. Anyways, let's think about senior year of high school... what were those days like? Well spring was exciting, cd release party, although I left the band shortly afterwards, it was an exciting time. Crew was neat... I miss being athletic. I miss sports. I should start playing sports again.
On a completely different topic again, I walked past the izakaya that I want to start going to on a regular basis again today. It looks so fun! Everyone inside is always laughing and chatting and eating and drinking, and it just looks really awesome. Lizzy and I are planning on going there sometime this winter, so I'm really excited. Hopefully we'll go as soon as finals are over, and drink ourselves into an oblivion and make lots of friends at the same time. I hope so.
Time for me to go listen to music. Tomorrow is a study day before my Japanese final, so I'm going to foolishly do nothing tonight, and just rest. What a slacker! Anyways, I'm going to listen to music... and surf the internet! WOO! I love Japan!!! I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT! I dont' know what it is, I dont' feel at home, and I miss the states in many ways, but I feel like when I get back to the US, I'm going to miss Japan so much more... I don't know though, we'll see.
xoxoxo,
Tosh

I don't really know what to write about. So things have been wildly stressful and crazy lately. Classes are coming to a close, so work is piling up, and I still have this urge to hang out with people on weekends, so I always schedule stuff when I should just study. Oh well... it's Japan right? I'm supposed to go out and stuff even if I have work to do... well, I know that's not a true statement, but whatever, I'm sticking to it!
I am realizing how sucky it is going to be not being with family and friends over winter break. Particularly because most of the guys are back home right now doing the Thanksgiving break thing. I miss those times for sure. There's nothing like the old group of guys over Thanksgiving. Going to Jakes, Friendlys, driving around, just talking about whatever stuff we talk about. Usually movies and stuff, which I never have a ton to add to the conversation, but it's great to hear what my buddies have to stay because they're brilliant. I am looking forward to seeing what sorts of things they come up with in the future. I'm going to miss winter break... especially just meeting up and hanging out, or sitting around the house watching tv and eating whatever is in the fridge. Mmm. Anyways, I should look on the bright side, Japan is going to be really fun over winter break too. I'm going to be able to relax, eat good food, watch tv and movies, high-five with Lizzy, have Christmas parties, Nabe parties, and the like. THEN Denise comes, which is pretty exciting. Yeah, this should be a nice winter break... I guess it is just a matter of getting there. I'll need to find a table too.
I'm hungry. I got my haircut and it's too short. I was just looking at some pictures and I realized that I liked it long... stupid TJ... I'll just have to let it grow out again, see what happens. Alright, time to stop procrastinating (although chances are I will until it is time for dinner).
Happy Thanksgiving!
