Dammit. ::asdlfhasdlfhadlk::

So, my bento box came today! It's almost disturbingly cute--it comes with a matching cloth carrying bag (to hold a beverage), its own pair of wooden chopsticks, and a cloth chopstick sleeve that matches the bag, and man oh man, it's awesome! But, on the other hand, it's TINY.

Well, okay, so I exaggerate, but I expected it to be bigger, at least. It's probably enough to fill me up for lunch if I have just one item, but god help me if I ever want to make sushi to go with it. ;p

I put together a quick batch of oyako don for tomorrow's lunch, and as I was trying to fit my normal serving in there, I looked at this bento box and thought: "no wonder Japanese women are goddamn twigs! Their lunch boxes are microscopic!" ::asldkfhasdfhaskldfhasf::

Yes, Japan. I KNOW YOUR SLENDERIZING SECRET. I'm onto you!

I think I need to sing more often--I came home feeling rather melancholy this afternoon, but after half an hour or so of belting out tunes along with the RENT soundtrack, I started feeling better. I want to play piano more often, too, but that's a little harder to finagle these days. ::glares at the music school with their combo locks::

Anyway, it's SLEEP TAIMU for me. I must wake up fresh and ready to make things happen.

"Luke, I am your father! Clean your room!"

Wow, November is crazy with the birthdays. Today commemorates A Quarter Century of MARA! (rdwayneright) Hooray!

So, duh, I stayed up until 2am last night, because I am apparently a glutton for punishment. ;p But at least this is punishment that I've chosen for myself! I couldn't fall asleep, so I was knitting and doing Nano, although I got farther on the scarf than on the novel.

My stupid novel is rotting my brain. I decided to write it with a nonlinear timeline, and I think that's part of what's making the process go slowly--sometimes I can't remember what I've revealed, and other times I have to dance around something in a very precise way, so I have to sit there and think of how to make the dialogue and everything sound realistic without blowing my wad early. AAAAAHHHHHHHH! This better be worth it, man.

Anyway. Today = the rest of this class, and much Nano, nihongo, and a meeting. And then work later after that. HOW EXCITING. I want to go back to bed. :p

Phone Post:

I just had to try this once, because I'm laaaaaame and I'm procrastinating re: Nanowrimo. What??

My cell phone reception is really assy inside my apartment, so, um, I'll transcribe this in a minute, because the phone cut out a dozen times or so. (and I *really* don't slur that much normally, I *swear*.)

EDIT: Damnit, I'm so going to take a nap now--my head hurts from lack of sleep, and I'm writing like *total* crap because of it. Mrrrr.
