I would like to give a shout out to Milton, who just saved me money.

Now, I'm used to having Bundschu raise a few eyebrows, but this is the first time that I've ever been told that Kimberly is a weird name. This coming from the NHK guy who came by to collect my "I have a TV" money. Now, I told him that I didn't have a TV, because apparently having a TV means that you must watch NHK, and there for own them money for the privilege. Now, I don't watch TV on my TV. There is no reception in my apartment, and I haven't even turned it on since Veronica came by a few months ago and then we watched a movie on my Playstation. If I had said yes I own a TV, they would have kept coming and asking for (I believe) 2000yen every month or so. So I told them no. I don't have a TV. Thank you Milton for that handy dandy knowledge.

On an unrelated note. I haven't actually watched any television today. This is highly rare because I follow that with I didn't read a book today either. I just sat down and wrote from the time I got home (about 4:30) until around now. Yay for me. Too bad I didn't get more written, but at least I've written most of what I had plans for. Now for the trying to fit the Everything Else into the story. That should be interesting.

Other things of note. I didn't get invited to the end of year party for my main school. I think there are several things that attributed to this. 1) I didn't go to the Monday morning meeting where it is assumed I might have been informed of this party (I had to make copies instead, and I wouldn't have understood it anyway), 2) I'm situated in the 3-4th grade teacher's room this month. If I had been in the 5-6th grade teacher room, I think they might have made the effort to invite me, because they're a little more friendly with me (not nicer, more friendly, difference) and I think they would have thought about it on Friday. And 3) I'm in a different teacher's room every month, so just when I'm starting to get really friendly with a group of teachers, I'm moved to a different group of teachers where I have to start all over again becoming friendly to them. I'm not really upset. I just feel a bit left out. At least next month we get our brand new school and one giant teachers room, which may or may not be a good thing.

And now I'm going to bed, because I missed all of after lunch break due to a massive case of the passed out and I apparently need the more sleep.

However, just so that all of you know exactly how much of a geek I am.


And now I'm so happy. I'm waiting with eagerness for that Christmas episode.
