huh

What do you write about when all the thoughts from your head are gone? I think I have checked Facebook about 5000 times today. I have read about 20 articles in the Washington Post online. I know more about the odor of skin cancer now and the IOC's refusal to launch an investigation into the actual ages of the female Chinese gymnasts. I read about McCain's 7 houses and just gained further contempt for the manner in which political races are petty and media driven. I have read again all of my own blog posts and the comments many of you have left. I took a walk today to the post office and the lady told me I need to be more careful about writing on only half of the postcard; and then she proceeded to charge me an extra 0.40 cents because I had gone over the invisible line. I watched the kyudo (archery) practice this morning where the students wanted to know how to say things in English like armpit hair. I have thought about missing Bentley and wishing I were back there every other minute since about 10:00am. I checked the exchange rate between the yen and the dollar. I have researched flights from Japan to Malaysia, Laos, Taiwan, Manila, Australia, Hong Kong and have been shocked by the expense. I have read some of my new book, which will remain unnamed until I am finished. I have thought more about coming home vs. staying in Japan for Christmas - no decision. I have desperately wanted to make phone calls, but know that I cannot. I wanted to buy a new book online, and then I wanted to buy a Zune, and then I decided not to. As the sky is getting dark and I am still at school I just wanted a brain dump. I wanted to ramble and you poor people are the subject of my mental attack. Have a nice weekend.
