Attempting to steal internet at work again is proving to be fruitless. I am having a minimal amount of success, I can access google from the room that I am in, but the page doesn’t load entirely, and I can’t get to the one page I need to, my account page for my SST credit card, which I was for some reason unable to access from the internet café yesterday. This is getting frustrating, because I’m definitely starting to think this month’s payment is going to be late, which will have a negative effect on all the credit rebuilding I’ve been trying to do. Oh well, such is life, at least until I can start doing something more reliable.

Even Starbucks here doesn’t have wi-fi access. This is some bullcrap malarkey right here. You would think that a trendy coffee shop would be able to help me out, but apparently not. Yeesh. What is this world coming to? Oh well.

The auto grammar check on Word keeps yelling at me because I keep putting periods at the end of rhetorical questions. What’s with that.

It’s Cole’s birthday today, except that it’s not his birthday in America yet. That’s kinda weird, I want to call him but it would be early. I have an alarm set to ring tomorrow morning to remind me to call him. Now, about that internet….

Ha! Success! Mwhahaha. I rock.

So, today sucked. I had all lower level students and kids. Both of my kids classes sucked. My kids were all over the place, didn’t give a shit, and had no interest in whatever I was saying. No one cried, so that was good, but good shit that was a pain. I felt bad cause I was just in the worst mood today. I ended on a good note, Keiko was fun, so I was happy about that, but then I think the real reason for my bad mood surfaced itself after I started to make my way home. I had one hell of a duke brewing.

It was the duke that had been waiting for several days to finally come about. The sum total of all the absurdly spicy food I’ve been eating lately. I barely made it up the stairs at the station when I got home. I was forced once again to use the Japanese style toilets, which are just basically squat holes. I have these nightmares of dropping a rocket propelled shit in there, only to have the sheer force of it spray it all over my slacks. I’m sure you want to know all of this. Anyway, after two or three rounds of that one, I made my way home with a loosened belt, and once home had rounds four and five. I’m pretty sure I have another couple coming, but I don’t really mind cause I’ll have lost like 5 pounds in the process.
Additionally, I’m in a much better mood now. I think that’s what was causing all my discomfort all day, really. Funny how biofeedback works. I knew something was up, so I was drinking water all day and trying to listen to my body. But the duke, that was definitely it. Now I am going to enjoy a fantastically hot bath and try to relax.

Ahh…that was nice. It always feels nice to shill and relax after a bath like that. I just got done watching the news; they’re calling for snow tomorrow. They say it will snow starting maybe in the afternoon and continue into the evening, and that it should stick; somewhere between 3 and 5 centimeters. I.e. between 1 and 2 inches. Woot woot. Go snow. It’s gonna be colder than a mother bitch outside but, oh well. Snow’s snow. Too bad I have to get up so ass early tomorrow. And teach 5 kids lessons.
