Tonight was a day off from studies so I could catch up on the important things in life, like laundry and drinking. I think making Saturdays my official laundry day will be a good idea since it seems like no one in the building uses the machines before 2:00pm. The problem is that the dryers still suck and even with a reduced load of only shirts and sock it doesn't dry them in an hour. Most of my clothes are still hanging in the space between my living room and my bed. That's exactly where I left them this morning around noon when I finished. I can only hope that they are dry enough to be folded so that I can get some sleep.
I met up with Hirokazu today for a few drinks. He's skinnier than he looks in his picture. He had mentioned going in for surgery next month for a collapsed chest, but after meeting him it kind of makes sense. He doesn't enjoy beef but he does eat chicken, pork, and fish so I'm not sure where is malnutrition is coming from. It was kind of an awkward first time hanging out because Hirokazu can't drink and while he was enjoying his coke and lemonade I was going through the $1.50 beer like it was water in the middle of a desert.
The restaurant we went to was kind of a mix between a okonomiyaki restaurant and an izakaya. For those of you who have never been to Japan, okonomiyaki is cabbage plus mixed ingredients like pork, ginger, and cheese with a kind of pancake like mix that is prepared at your table where you have a hot plate. Izakaya's are like bars that have a food menu full of appetizer plates. So you can pay like $4 for a plate of fries or $3 for some steak cubes to snack on while you're drinking. It's all very ingenious and convenient when you decide to go out drinking and there isn't a McDonald's around to fill the void.
Anyway, it's late and I'm uber tired. Tomorrow is field day and studying so I have to wake up early.
