Points of (for most) non-interest…

• D`Jen wrote a life list while she was traveling back from the bush…it seems like a good idea and I am thinking of writing one myself. There are a lot of things I want to achieve in my life, problem is they are always changing….are life lists able to be changed I wonder. Or once you write one it is stuck like that forever…or is this a personal choice?
• My school where I work is moving…to a bigger place! It is all very exciting. We will still be in Kichijoji but we will be a lot closer to the inokashira park and the area is three times the size of where we are now. November is set to be a very very busy month!!
• As some of you know I have been tossing up with the idea of going back to Australia next year for about six months..with Shumpei. We would then return to Japan after six months. We are thinking next July. My contact with my school is up in December but my boss has kindly offered to sign me on again for six months instead of a year. This is great because I really want to stay in the same job but it would of been hard because usually you must sign year contracts!!! I will be staying on at the school until end of June!
• I have had a headache since Monday. At first I thought it was just a normal headache…gone by the next day but nope. So I thought perhaps it was because I had been using the computer a lot without wearing my glasses….so started wearing them all the time at home…nope not that either. Then I had a scary thought…maybe it was a toothache. I hate going to the dentist…in fact I have never been to one in Japan…I always just got check-ups when I was back in Australia. A friend of a friend is a dentist and he speaks English too (Although we had always spoken in Japanese) so I booked in to see him yesterday and got all my courage together and went to the dentist. Turns out the tooth I thought was a problem isn`t a problem (Basically I have a tooth at the back of my mouth that fell apart when my wisdom teeth pushed on it a couple of years ago so while it didn`t have a cavity I still had some of the tooth missing…about 2 months ago the filling stuff they packed it with to make it normal tooth shape fell out and I didn`t do anything about it so I thought maybe it had turned into a cavity. But apparently it is fine, and if I don`t have to do anything to it), He did find one tooth that has a small hole which is going to fix next week. One hole after 2 years of not going to the dentist isn`t bad now is it? I think it will be my second filling in my adult teeth. But he said it is not causing the headache since when he touched it I couldn`t feel anything so it isn`t very bad. So now back to square one with the headache….BUT I now have a dentist in Japan and he is lovely! Thanks Hide!
• Last weekend I saw the worst movie ever. Shumpei and I went to the night theater and I told him he could choose the movie…sukiyaki western django…WORST MOVIE EVER! I actually fell asleep in the theater… It is basically a Japanese movie where the cast speaks English thought the movie. When I asked why they spoke English and not Japanese shumpei said he thinks it is because they want the movie to become popular overseas. NOT LIKELY! I couldn`t understand the English real well… What is the worse movie you have ever seen?
• Two days ago I started knitting again. I wasn`t even sure I would remember how to do it…I did a couple of rows of practicing…just getting the hang of it again…and then I scrapped that and started knitting a green scarf… so far I am about 1/8 finished…and I can see a couple of mistakes in it but overall it is actually going OK. Perhaps I will start on a knitting craze and learn how to knit something that isn`t a scarf or hat! Any ideas on what I should try to knit? Or where I could get some decent patterns that are easy to read?!
• I also made my first piece of jewelry in about t3 or 4 months. I made a couple of pairs of earrings. They turned out OK too…I think I must be going through a bit of a creative phase. I have always wanted to be creative but am unfortunately lacking in almost all creative skills. When I draw for the kids at school they can hardly ever tell what it is unless it is a tree or a flower or something simple. I drew a kangaroo and they thought it was a dog! I wish to be creative though…..I would love to make things!
• Last night I finished work at about 5:15 and rang shun but he was going to be late and unable to meet for dinner. So I rang Cat and we made plans to meet for Indian food in Shinjuku at 7:30. Kazu ended up coming too. I love the fact that I can ring someone at that time and arrange to meet up so quickly….I had no plans, hadn`t made any but finished work and wanted to do something…and I did! I love my friends!
• Rachael, a Scottish friend living in Korea just tried to do a mini detox and made it to day six (of 10 I think) I doubt I would make it to day 2 but it did get me thinking that maybe a detox would be the best thing to kick start my metabolism. Has anyone ever done one? What did you do? Was it successful? My mum is always telling me about herbal life a supplement drink that you can have two times of day instead of two meals….Maybe I should even give that ago. I keep saying I want to lose weight and while I try to watch what I eat (and drink!) it never ends up doing much….
• No plans really for the rest of the weekend…and I am kind of glad it is a quite one. There is a couple of things I could catch up on at home….Reading, blog checking, watching TV, cleaning, washing, knitting etc etc….Shun and I will go out and have dinner somewhere locally later tonight but until then I am free!!!!!!!!!

10 dot points seems a good place to finish don`t you think?!
