Lately...

Lately I've been in to:

This song, which was stuck in my head for a few days. The beat is just darn catchy. It's a band called andymori.

The Southern Vampire Novels. I got tired of the show True Blood, which is based off of them, but I am currently enjoying book 5 of 11 of the series.

The Sushi Go Round application for my iPhone, which is also a game you can play online:

There's also this wildy popular app here in Japan called Tsumineko, which is all about stacking cats and making a tower as tall as possible.

My boy is a big Biohazard game series fan (that's Resident Evil to you Americans) I talked him into getting #5 and he talked me into playing co-op. I haven't played a shooter in awhile so it's fun.

My gym! (Sorry no pictures) I'm spending a good chunk of time there now, and I really picked a good place. The trainers are all very friendly, great to talk to, and they help you establish and tweak your workout program. Going to the gym is my after school program.

Last but not least, I've mentioned the Radwimps before, and they've got a new cd and seems like a bigger fanbase:

Sorry Sorry Video Dump

Wow, another post! I'm on the ball lately. I think I can sympathize with Elizabeth's post about needing a day or week off for sleep. I've been really high strung and antsy lately. Here's some of the reasons, in no particular order:

1. The weather has been completely awful this week: nothing but rain. One night it was raining so hard I woke up from the sound of it, then consequently went back to sleep and had a dream about my apartment building being in a landslide.
2. My students haven't been behaving and paying attention in class as much... must be pre-summer vacation brain shutdown. Patience is running low when school is almost out.
3. I can't wait to sleep in, get my own personal things done, and be able to have leisurely mornings where I can cook an actual breakfast and call people in the USA.
4. Speaking of the US, that is probably the biggest thing that has me antsy: going home soon. It's always awesome to have something to look forward to and count down to (vacations especially), but it always makes me a bit impatient.
5. I have to take my Japanese driver's license exam before I go home.
6. The new Asian Kung-Fu Generation cd left me saddened by its uninspired bland music. I am also sad that I'm not going to their concert next week, but it's probably for the best (New cd set list? Pass.). I will continue to listen to the same stuff on my ipod until something new that I like finally finds its way to my ears.

I mentioned Radwimps before, so here's a video. That lead vocalist Noda has some pretty crazy style. He also has pretty good English (That you won't hear in this song unfortunately).


My guilty pleasure. There was a group of people who performed this song at the YSA conference and it was funny and too catchy. PS It's a Korean group called Super Junior and I have no idea what they're saying besides "Sorry sorry."


We better add to the list:
Staying up too late online looking for music.
