Rain in Tennoji

It was rainy today.

I'm aware that this blog is probably not the most interesting thing in the entire world to look at or read. (That award would go to Goma, naturally.) I'm still getting the hang of this whole routine, so I hope those of you who bother reading will forgive me the lack of amazingly fascinating content. I swear I go around all day thinking of interesting posts, but the instant I get home I'm attacked by a Lethargy Monster and want nothing more than to sit around and eat bread.

I eat a lot of bread.

I do want to eventually make this blog more interesting and more INTENSE (to use 1990's marketing jingo), but I still need time to get used to posting almost daily. I've historically been a very lazy blogger and an even lazier writer, but if the goal of this blog is to chronicle every day of this year, I really need to toughen up.

Daily life in Osaka excites me, bores me, frustrates me, enthralls me. There are days when I am fascinated by every little thing, and then there are days when I just want to stay inside and play video games. (And, of course, eat bread.) The Japan you see as a resident is much different than the Japan you see as a tourist, and while I suppose my blog is currently lacking in the EVERYTHING IS SO SPARKLY AND EXCITING!!! side of Japan, it's true to my fairly regular existence.

That said, today I joined a gym where they have televisions attached to the treadmills. I watched MTV Japan's "USA Top 20 Countdown" and I am fairly sure it was misrepresenting the current musical climate in the States. You guys aren't really obsessed with Enya, right? And Miss Independent was so... months ago.

That's why I looooove heeeeer....
