hiii happy monday
i'm tired from traveling, and i have slept basically every day as soon as i got home from work and then i woke up around 1 or 2 am telling myself i should just go back to sleep while i can. and now i started my period. okay so because of time travel, monday/tuesday i was in japan. but i posted late so i mentally ended the trip already.
my last day in tokyo; i crossed tokyo to see michela. and i wouldn't cross the city for a lot of people. crazy to fly across the pacific ocean and then deem a 20 minute train ride "too far", but i even did rush hour commute for her. theres something i can't blog about because i need nathan and sean to eat it. but basically misaki wanted omiyage from sendai. i waited 20 mins in line for a box. justin, misaki and i eat it in tokyo. justin kind of goes "too bad were never going to sendai" and misaki finds out that they were actually selling it at some デパ地下 in nihonbashi. so we waited in line for an hour for these. then ate katsu since i had a place marked that abe-san recommended a few years ago but i was never in the area. then decided a quick little trip to the shinjuku yodobashi camera when we needed to get on the narita express in like an hour was a good choice.
i got final ux3000 headphones. i paid like $90 between conversion and 免税. theyre great. abe-san recommended them especially for the cost compared to other major headphones. i can't talk specs, but i know that i can wear them my whole shift at work (12 hrs) they don't die, and they dont push my glasses into my head either. bluetooth if needed, aux cord if needed. sounds good. i'm not bringing them around i kind of just wanted headphones at work so people would leave me alone.
okay speaking of work,,, layoffs. i still haven't seen any email about layoffs directly, i mostly want the email to know layoffs are over. my first week back sucked ass. they wanted me to come in to finish someone elses job. he didnt even start it, said he would come in on wed/thurs to finish it and then didnt do that. and on friday they interrogated ME on why his task wasn't completed. and then i went into work yesterday because i needed to get one thing done but for a perfect storm of bullshit reasons i essentially wasted my day there. i had other things to work on, but nothing worth going in on OT for. oh and i didnt even bring up the fact that i kind of got shat on in a 30 min turned 90 min meeting even though its not my fault lol.
anyways!! lets talk about something fun!!
- one of the new albums i bought was downt - underlight and aftertime. which is somehow a mathrock/indie/emo/shoegaze album. i enjoyed it. i have had it in my car and listened to it on my commute this week. track to track it brings me to very specific times depending on the genre of the song. i don't know my favorite yet, possibly the opener or the 10th song.
- i really enjoy this girls podcast. this weeks episode i watch every episode and it comes out every other tuesday. feels similar to sitting down with friends and having like real discussions. when i have real fruitful conversations and not peepeepoopoo conversations
- i have been enjoying this blog i actually hate reading about japan trips because i'm a bitter person. but, i enjoy their itinerary and maybe because its not the typical golden route i enjoy seeing japan through someone elses eyes.
i honestly havent had much free time this past week. i'm still catching up on my rss feed. but this week i will see badbadnotgood. honestly this month (and last month,, i was just gone) have a lot of good concerts in san francisco i honestly am thinking about going to a few more.
i actually havent unpacked my bag and i need to do laundry. 10pm is a good time to start right?
