I love Japanese food! And Nomura Mansai!
So much in fact, that I’ve gained 5 lbs! Taihen da! I going to start drinking more tea and eating less choco-banana parfaits (but I loves them…). Badminton will also help – I don’t think I’ve sweated quite so much in my entire life with the heat and workout combined.
I’ll start posting pictures of my tasty food adventures! (at least the ones where the food survives long enough to have it’s picture taken!)
So apparently, Nomura Mansai was in Tomakomai (a nearby city – I spend a lot of time there) a week or so ago and I didn’t know! I’m going to learn “Can I have a lock of your hair?” in Japanese so I’m ready for the next time! All my Japanese Religion and Literature homeys know who I’m talking about.

Nomura Mansai as Abe no Seimei from Onmyouji *swoon*
Speaking of the language – I don’t really feel like my Japanese is improving so much. I still feel worse than when I was studying Japanese in university – though I haven’t been doing a lot of studying at home. I should be making flash cards for kanji especially – just, studying makes me sleepy.
