I had quite an intriguing weekend, with an especially surreal Saturday. But I think it has to be on to tougher stuff to get the effect that I want. Anyway that is enough of that.
I just found out square is developing Final Fantasy Tactics for the GBA. Fantastic!
I had a French-like day today, and this Easter had so many similarities with last Easter. I walked along Meola road, I stayed the night at my father’s house. Now I have a large broken glass to explain and perhaps a burn stain on the carpet caused by an iron. Does anyone know how to get burn out of a carpet? I found a semi-solution after using just about every cleaning product in the house on it.
Oh god that roll of film will be great!
From this moment, how can it feel this wrong? I love my music.
Today was everything great about life. I am having so many enjoyable days in my life. I want it to last forever. In some ways I am so glad to have some people out of my life.
I think the universe may actually revolve around me, to teach me how life is to be. The other day when to Christian Easter girls came to me with chocolate, and they gave me also a bible quote, and I got to thinking the blasphemous thought that perhaps I was Jesus. Sometimes I feel that whatever I touch with my hands will be healed. Just a thought…
To leave you with a quote from my own lips. "I smell like man should smell".

I gotta have faith!
Baby!
I love George Michael!
I cannot believe it is the daylight savings change over this weekend. But that is enough on that.
Other Check ups? University is fine, Kendo is presently sustainable…but for how long? The other abstaining thing is going fine, at twenty-eight weeks, that is more than six months. Only problem is now I can’t ring myself to begin again. I am still drawing, I still can’t drink, I haven’t had time to play games, unfortunately. Oh and nostalgia plans are slowly gaining momentum, have I disclosed any information about this plan to this online world yet?
Learning Japanese is the greatest thing I have ever done. The course is rather rigorous though, but no matter, with six off the record Japanese teachers I am sure I will be fine, but failing that I could always seduce one of my lecturers. Oh I am serious. Or not. I don’t even know anymore!
I went up to Whangerai last weekend. I also went to the closing Mandala ceremony. And James Caughey’s party. I had a good time, but I don’t know about others. Oh well.
I had a fire thingy at schoold today which required me casually leaving the building assuming it was a drill, then finding out it may have been real, judging from the three fire trucks and the amount of firemen. Anyway things did revert back to normal in the end, and I didn’t lose any of my stuff to those damn orange flames.
Classics has the most outrageous girl to guy ratio ever, I am one of three guys in a class of about seventeen. I expect a similar situation for Art History. I am taking t as a somewhat good thing.
I hate Starbucks oh so very much. Them and their globalisation can go to hell. Why do people buy stuff there? I don’t think I will ever understand. And it has the worst name ever. ‘Star’ bucks. That connotes badly to me at least. Oh well, I must take leave for Kendo, regardless of whether or not I actually want to go. I have my duty…
Several hours later
Back from Kendo, it was okay, but I still don’t know where to go from here. I am interested in stopping Kendo and doing something like Kung Fu, Capoeira or even Yoga. At the very least I need to get webspace so I can actually make this page look a little nicer. Now I am off to watch the late show with David Letterman. I must contact Masa-Kun about lunch tomorrow…

I am getting progressively more tired so I don’t expect this will be a particularly long entry. I just thought I had reason to make one on this particular day (and right now it is Monday) because it marks yet another milestone since my last entry.
Well my five month holiday is over. I am at uni now. Actually I will pretend I am in my third year. I am back at uni now. And it is easier than ever. Easier than that fascist institution grammar was anyway. I did not attend orientation. I did everything I needed to too before all that began (only by one day) so as to avoid sitting pretty in queues on the sidewalk feeling paranoid. Besides I was busy over the orientation days. My papers shouldn’t be too hard, and if they are, I have plenty of four hour gaps in my time table to put myself together with, followed on Mondays by a walk home because the buses get so damn full. I only had two lectures today, and the lecturers seem pleasant enough. Japanese 130 is going to be the most intensive paper I think. One week to learn hiragana, one week to katakana, and then in week three we start to learn kanji. Phew! Anyway that is enough about my new *cough* old school.
I also got to try nitrous last week, and it was fun, but the effects don’t last long enough to make it an economic choice for highs. Have you ever seen a 15 year-old kid who looks ten years old off his nut on booze and drugs? Let me tell you it is very bizarre.
Now guess what! I got my Sho-Dan! That means I am blackbelt Kendo, a Kendo master! And as I was going to give up Kendo, I have begun to feel guilty about it, and with new found strength I am going to attempt to carry on. As long as I can take it. Besides I have Tatsuya and Masahiro along with me for the ride. And a guy from Korea who looks like he cme straight out of Initial D. Nothing beats a good sword fight…especially after a hard days work at school (?). Who spotted the sarcasm? Actually today wasn’t so bad. Usually it is a lot worse.
The Mandala and the Lantern festival were graced with my appearance many times and I enjoyed both of them on more than three occasions. I now have a great new shirt. I also was entertained by the rich at the friends of the opera thing on Puketu island, hosted by the head of friends of the opera, AKA, one of the voiceovers for the coming up stuff on TV. I was wandering at the time why he made me think of a robot.
On Friday I went to see ‘The man who wasn’t there’ and I recommend it. Tocky, with whom I went, also dragged me into K2 where I read but didn’t understand (that is I could read the writing but didn’t know what the words meant) HunterXHunter manga, and drank Lychee milk. And yes I was the only Gaijin there. That was an experience and a half.
Anyway I could have been more in-depth here on a lot of things but I have to do some reading and sleeping before morning so I leave you with one final idea…watch Prime TV! David Letterman is back! Finn, just bide your time a little longer and they bring back Marc, Jean-Paul and Eurotrash…
