a history of me

After griping for months now about how hot is in Japan, the weather has turned cold in a hurry. High temperatures lately have been in the low teens (50s F) and overnight lows are damn near freezing. It's not unbearable but it feels a lot colder than I expected it to be. Guess that's a downside to losing all that weight; I'm not nearly as "insulated" as I was last winter!

In more "big mouth" department I managed to upset both Scott and Hyde with my comments recently. Obviously I didn't want to hurt their feelings but I was sure to apologize when I realized how dumb I had been. I think both matters have been resolved so there's no need to recap what happened. Let's just hope this is the last time I do this...it certainly wasn't the first!

It's a little late and I'm tipsy so I'll give you the short version of today's action: took a quiz this morning (you know I aced it), ran home instead of going to my next class, spent the afternoon on a sort of "field trip" in downtown Osaka which culminated in joining my professor (the super-cool one) for a few beers during happy hour. Since I was already in Osaka and drinking I called Scott and invited him to join us; he did!

I'll give you greater detail tomorrow, since Tuesday isn't very busy for me. My next date with Mako is this Wednesday because it's a national holiday here in Japan. More on that tomorrow as well. Later!
