Whee

So, last night I tried to clean my apartment and mostly failed. I mean, I cleaned a lot but the place still looks cluttered. Small apartments suck.

I also dyed my hair dark brown. You might be asking, "Deanna, you already have dark brown hair, don't you?" Yes, that is true, but in reality what happened is I got totally sick of seeing so much GRAY hair. I've been going gray since I was 13, but something about being in Japan makes it all the more depressing. Anyway, I didn't do a skin allergy test or anything, but I am still alive so I assume I'm okay. Also, it does look slightly better to me, with this darker shade of brown, than with the mixed sunlighted brown I had before.

I also think I have done something NOBODY in Japan ever does these days: intentionally dyed my hair a shade DARKER. It might be illegal and I will be banned from Japan.

Which leads me to another note: I just got my postcard saying "Come down to immigration and give us money and get your new visa". Awesome! I should do that soon I suppose, before they deport me for dyeing my hair darker. I thought it'd take 2-3 weeks but it basically took 1.5 weeks.

And Warabi is a big pile of FAIL, or at least it was yesterday. First, I can't find a place to put air in my bike tires since the mall got rid of their pump, so I might go buy a pump sometime in Akabane, maybe today. I would have yesterday in Warabi, but all the bike stores close at 5 or are closed on Mondays, I dunno. And then I found out Ito Yokado in Warabi no longer has a big-size clothes section. And I finally tried the new kaitensushi place by the station and it's not that great and the staff are pretty rude.

And on a final note, we watched Ainori last night and Momo turned down Miya. Depressing, not entirely unexpected (she even said "I think of you more as a little brother and best friend than anything"), but I think she's kind of an idiot for doing it. Because basically, Kuro is going to go confess to Kousuke next week and be off the show, and then Momo's probably just going to hang around and pine about how her two best friends are gone, and retire. So if she's going to do that anyway, why the hell couldn't she give it a try with Miya? Sigh. Anyway, I guess the show's gonna move to a new country soon so they want new people and new plots, but... it's kind of sad, those guys have been around for the last 6 months since I started REALLY watching religiously (I was realizing that Momo and Kuro replaced the psycho hose beasts that were stalking Teppei, and Ryo and Miya came on to replace Teppei and the other dude whose name I forgot). So I hope they get equally cool new people. Soon.

Of course it's illegal. If you can find a color darker than black to dye your hair, that's impossible so you must be a witch. :P
