Story of my life

The past two days i was totally Shikamaru. On wednesday, though i wanted to sleep early, i ended up reading kanji and words for the thursday mid-term exam, which turned out to be the usual difficulty. It was just as hard as expected, and because it matched the expectations, looking back it seems easy. Then yesterday too i wanted to sleep early, exactly because i didn’t have enough the night before, but no luck, just after midnight classmates phoned me that it’s Thiwanka’s birthday and we celebrated, so i ended up sleeping around two. Today i had to wake up earlier because of the school trip, we all the pre-undergrads went to Tama-newtown to check the sky-dome and a “music box” museum, it was fun. Then our class had lunch in an italian-ish (イタリアっぽい?) restaurant, looked around town and came back. I was so low on batteries that i just lay down for a sleep, something i don’t usually do. After i just had a tea and a stick of dango (紅茶を飲んで団子を一本食べた), and tried to wake up for the party which is to begin in ten minutes…


Suzumiya Haruhi no Yūutsu S2E1: Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody

Today i watched the first episode of the second season of my favourite anime, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (涼宮ハルヒの憂鬱). I call it second season in lack of a better word, because it was aired together with the re-air of the “old” series. The first new one is based on the Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody, which i haven’t yet read, but will for sure. It was great, as usual, though i already new the story (from the manga), so it was like watching it again. The quality is still the same, so i loved it. That’s it for short.


Overdose

My massively overdosing vitamin c seems to work… At least, today i felt like when i’m ill, but i’m going out of it. Tomorrow i’ll just stay still in the classroom, try to cough and sniff as little as possible, because everyone would freak out.

Today (yesterday) i ate the second half of what i cooked yesterday, and it was still very good. To make it even more filling (this time the rice was plain), i cooked omelette with olives, and it ended up quite good as well. All day i’ve been reading wikis about the bigfoot, Cthulhu and stuff, playing the guitar and i also made my homework on time, which is not usual. I should’ve only written half a page, and that’s how much it was in my notebook, but when i copied it on the assignment sheet it ended up a bit more than one page.

I’ve realised that i’m dreaming a lot these days. Luckily not daydreaming, but almost. I asked Rado if he bought his plane tickets already, because i remembered asking him that before and him replying “of course, why, you haven’t?” and me freaking out, but that all turned out to have been a dream. But at least when i have such memories with home friends, i know what to think, because meeting them live right now is quite improbable…

But i really need some sleep now. Just have to wash the dishes before. And myself as well. So… good… ni—


Lunch

One more Gastrovale post, here is today’s lunch. It’s rice with some instant topping (couldn’t yet figure out its exact name), shrimp cooked in oil and wine, corn and tomatoes with nori on top. Drank orange juice with ice. It was good…


Presentation: Hungarian communication

I just wrote this presentation for next week’s multicultural communication class. Please read it, give suggestions and correct me if i wrote anything inappropriate. Note that it has to fit in three minutes.


Try…

…catch.

When

When i wake up twenty minutes before the alarm clock goes off, put the coffee on the stove and go back to bed “just for a little more”. When i somehow learn thirty-stroke kanjis just like that (憂鬱 (yūutsu, melancholy) and 薔薇 (bara, rose); with these i could even start and manage a hardcore teenage emo girl band, called 薔薇の憂鬱, Melancholy of Roses). When i tag along the tabletennis club and end up as a guest for a great dinner chatting for hours. When i manage to make a lunch without cutting or burning myself, and it turns out to be one of the best smelling food i’ve ever seen… or smelled. When i can once again start writing stuff for class as well as this blog (actually very happy about that, because if i don’t have to, it’s very hard to get myself to write something quality, since usually when i’d be free to sit or lay down to do something like that i’m usually so tired i’d fall asleep immediately). When i get a korean cookie, then talk about georgian names and sounds, how romanian folkswear is related to others, how the cambodian scarfs are worn, how chinese people celebrate the new year in Malaysia—and all this from people of those countries, live. When there’s always someone to hang out with, no chance to be alone if unwanted. When parties are always great. When i act totally western with friends in the crowded train, and think it’s very funny. When the author of the post this one is sent as a trackback to reassures me i’ll surely find a cosplay and tentacle hentai (though because of similarities in the hungarian version without accents, i thought this was “draught hentai”) festival in Tokyo (joke). When i’m just happy, and it will only get better.

That’s when i feel i’ve become something new.


The evil blade

For some reason it seems i couldn’t get to bed before midnight anyway. At least i could wake up this morning (i almost wrote 今朝), get to class in time and even enjoy the classes more than usual. The lunchtime was funny. Decided to eat 牛丼 (japanese-style beef), but to make it richer, i chopped up tomatoes and half a lemon—and my left thumb. Twice. (The food was good, by the way.) Lucky it stopped bleeding quite fast, unlike the leg of Väinämöinen, when the evil steel of the axe decided to bite him (around the seventh canto). This blade won’t cut me any more i hope. In five minutes i’m leaving for the party that even the ambassador of Hungary will attend. It’s not that oft that i could hear hungarian voice around here…


In my fridge

In my fridge are the following things:

  • 6 eggs
  • one and a half cucumber
  • 6 tomatoes
  • 2 lemons
  • one can of corn
  • 6 garlic
  • an open half litre bottle of soy sauce
  • an open about half a litre bottle of olive oil
  • a bottle of white wine
  • 2.5 box (1 litre) of orange juice
  • 3.5 box (1 litre) of milk
  • one opened butter
  • 1.5 pack of ham
  • a small piece of Gouda cheese and another 1.5 kilo pack unopened
  • a bag of まろやか (that strange fish thing in the last post)
  • a small bag of a sauce for cooking shrimp
  • a pack of some veggie mix to cook with the rice, and two packs of an other which i think has meat as well
  • a pack of topping for pasta, probably with shrimps
  • a pack of beef topping for rice (牛丼)
  • a pack of soba pasta
  • a pack of curry
  • a slice of fish to cook
  • half a pack of shrimps
  • a pack of octopus cut into little cubes

That’s all. Not that much…


Gigs

In the coming times i only plan to go to three concerts: a Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra one this weekend (i badly need to buy the tickets, before it sells out), a The Earth Explorer on the sixteenth, and the metal fest which will have Maximum the Hormone, at the end of the month. Out of these, on the TEE one i surely won’t need earplugs, but i think on the other two i will, so i’m planning to buy them soon. (That other two will be at the ZEPP as well, so if the audio technician is the same, i can expect some terrible over-amplification.) Too bad i haven’t yet found a way to buy the tickets easily… I really would need to know japanese a lot better for that. Also, so far as i know there’s no programme magazine of Tokyo (something similar to the hungarian EST’s), which would have all the gigs, exhibitions and movies listed. I know it’d be pretty huge for a city of Hungary’s population, but i couldn’t yet find it online either. I want to go to a punk gig too sometime, just to see if the rebels of music are just as passive on a gig as the Sex Machineguns fans. Hope not.
