Tired
Last night I fell asleep watching the Dragons-Tigers game, which is why I didn't write anything. Nothing to write really -- stayed late at school and came home, ate bakery food.
Oh, I suppose I could mention that I went to Matsumoto Kiyoshi and stared at the rack of "虫" boxes/bottles until I figured out WTF they were for. I bought some mushi-yoke spray, aka bug repellent, and a tube of... I have no fucking clue what it is but it said basically "for itchy skin and bug bites". I confirmed with a staff person basically that "put this cream on the bug bites so they won't itch" and "put this spray on when you are going outdoors so the bugs won't bite you", and then bought them. I put on the bug itch cream stuff when I got home and it smells kind of like Vicks Vaporrub and it seems to be working somewhat well for making the bug bites itch less.
It's funny though -- I have this ever-growing bunch of things I bring with me everywhere these days... I have my stomach acid reflux pills, I have some Tylenol, I have some decongestant (just in case, from the spring when I was getting stuffed up a lot), I have a bottle of sunscreen, I have a bottle of deodorant, and now I add bug spray and itch cream to the mix. When you think about it, this is basically why everyone in Japan has to carry around bags with them... even if you have nothing to carry, you still have things to carry. I also always have a folding umbrella, a water bottle, some pens, a small towel, a hairbrush and some hair ties and barrettes, plus my baseball meikan and my CMU notebook, and my small point-and-shoot camera.
So my bag is already pretty heavy before I even add whatever I'm bringing on a given day. Like today, my scorecard book, a Yakult Swallows Furuta #27 t-shirt, and some Hokkaido travel package brochures... I'm going to the Swallows game with Simon tonight and I really need to get my act together for getting plane tickets to Sapporo.
This morning I ran a game of Scattergories with one of my advanced 3rd-year classes. What I learned is that they CAN do it -- but 10 categories is too many. Oops. I wanna try again after the break, with 6 or 7 categories, and the other 3rd-year class.
Also, it was seriously already 29 degrees out when I was walking to the train this morning at 7:30am. WTF. That's like 84-85 for the rest of you... thank god we have an airconditioner at school, as it is going up to like 32-33 today, which is low 90's.
