Today I am getting dinner cooked for me from Melanie – I cooked her dinner a couple of weeks ago, and she wanted to return the favor. She has had the ingredients for lasagne shipped to her bit by bit from her parents in Ireland. I’m looking forward to it!
Today Mr. Komuri brought in some hot peppers that a friend of his had sent. They were the closest things I’m going to get to fresh jalapenos around here. They were excellent. He chopped them up and I got to taste a little bit. Delicious!
I’m trying to organize a trip to see The White Stripes at a club here. They are playing all over Japan, but nowhere really close. The Osaka show is closest, but it’s on a school night, and the trains wouldn’t be running when I get out. I’ve got some people looking into tickets, but if I do go, I’ll most likely have to travel quite a ways to see them. I’m hoping that I can get a day off to do it right. Or maybe I’m starting to feel a little sick. I’m not sure how it will work out. They were sold out in California when I left, so it would be cool if I could catch them here in Japan.
