Around three o&#8217;clock Miss Kageyama came over &#8211; we originally had considered going out to dinner in Tarumi, but since I wasn&#8217;t feeling great she insisted on coming over and checking in on me.  <\/p>\n<p>She brought some goodies &#8211; some Valentine&#8217;s chocolate, Tomb Raider 2 on DVD (in Japanese and English!), and a new CD by one of my favorite Japanese groups, SPITZ.  We settled on simple dinner of rice with chicken and egg &#8211; kind of a Japanese comfort food.<\/p>\n<p>While we were eating dinner the weather started blowing pretty good &#8211; it was raining and howling outside.

Today I may just lay around the house and rest.  <\/p>\n<p>One thing I rediscovered lately is that I can listen to NHL hockey games over the internet.  It&#8217;s nice to catch up with the Sharks and Sabres here in Japan of all places.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saturday I couldn&#8217;t really shake my sore throat &#8211; I still felt good but the throat was annoying.
