Bah

I know, it's been too long since a proper entry. It used to be everyday, sometimes twice a day, and now this. It's awful. But every night, I sit at my computer, and I get tired and put off my entry until I'm about to sleep, and then I sleep anyway.

I helped Shun move the stuff, and he was overly grateful with his cash, but as it turns out I did need it for petrol. I drove Yoko to the airport later that day, but I waived my usual fee because of her overwhelming kindness of hospitality that I am about to enjoy. As it turns out, she's not coming back to England.

Yesterday was spent resting because of the back ache of the move (Carlos owns heavy things). I also dropped one of his boxes down the stairs, but I think it was ok. I had a conversation in Japanese with Yukina over MSN, which was interesting to say the least, but also boosted my confidence a lot. Today made the most of the evening with a good meal and chat spent with Shun, Erin, Jenny and Yukina. We went to Whitelands bar, making it my third ever visit. I learnt that Shun has a blog, though he is yet to post. When he does, I'll be certain to link to it.

I found I very much enjoy the dark stylings of recent Aphex Twin, and I discovered a cool little JPop band called Do As Infinity. I'll show Emma, if she already doesn't know, because it seems much closer to her style than usual JPop. Dan's not too remote, as I do get to see him more often now. And living with Andrew and Julia does look like fun.

I have a conflict of plans tomorrow, I am hoping to dine with my family as a last goodbye to my living arrangements, but it's also the 4th of July celebrations, and Erin will lead the way with fireworks and a marching band, which is too fun to miss. I'll have to cleverly coordinate.

Anyway, music stopped, headphones silent, I think sleep beckons. Tomorrow is the last day I spend at home fully, as on Tuesday, the fifth of July, I move to my new house, and the new chapter commences.
