The Last of The Lost Blogs...

... though, it was typed yesterday night... so, I guess it's not really so lost as it is just a couple of hours later:

はしマスター and Earthquake

Well… another day of my mini work break over… and, I guess I can say I was pretty unproductive once again.

I woke up… ate some breakfast… watched some tv on my cell… took a nap even though I had just woken up about an hour before… played some solitaire on my laptop (which seems to be my new thing to do when I’m bored)… figured I should start lunch since I was getting hungry… forgot to take the ground beef out to defrost… started chopping onions for the spaghetti sauce (onions are too strong here… which is good… once you get through with chopping them)… headed to Lawson’s because I was too hungry to wait until I was done cooking… came back and ate lunch… continued with my cooking (which took a long while since I only have one burner… meaning I had to make the spaghetti sauce, boil the spaghetti, and cook the ground beef one at a time)… took a shower amidst making the spaghetti sauce… finished cooking.

Yup… it sounds like I did a lot… but, truthfully… I did not. I was pretty bored. In fact, somewhere in the middle of all of that I made a little video slide show of my first month in Japan… kind of as a prepping before hopefully getting internet tomorrow. It didn’t take very long… which means I must’ve been really bored... seeing that things that would usually take a while don’t last as long when you’re actually trying to kill time… ::sigh::

Oh, and also in the middle of my cooking… another earthquake occurred. I have the habit of doing something right before earthquakes… that make me always think… “Hmmm… guess I’m stronger than I realize…”… then actually come to discover that I’m actually experiencing an earthquake.

This time… it was in the middle of playing solitaire, waiting for the water to boil to put in the spaghetti… when I kind of made a flustered gesture on the floor for making a wrong move. I figured the floor was shaking from my pounding the floor… then figured… uh… no… that’s an earthquake. I looked at my laptop begin to sway and then made sure my pots wouldn’t fall and cause a gas explosion of some sorts (not sure if that can actually happen… but, using gas freaks me out a bit). I then just stood under the frame of my room and was about to go outside but changed my mind… mostly because A) it wasn’t that strong of an earthquake, B) I was just in my underwear and had the windows open.

Yeah, but it was no biggie… I’m not going to say that I’m getting used to them… but, I guess the small ones don’t really freak me out as much as it used to. Funny thing is… Rob later went on to tell me that the one I felt was actually a small one compared to the one earlier in the day.

“Uh… there were two earthquakes?”

“Yeah… the first one was bigger and it happened around 8 in the morning…”

“Hmmm… uh… I guess I slept through that one…”

Woops? Whatever… I’m alive, aren’t I?

I finished my spaghetti just in time for Rob to show up… so, I told him to please help me eat since I made a lot. It’s not exactly the spaghetti I make back in Miami… but, hey… it wasn’t bad either… especially considering it was the first time I bought a can of diced tomatoes, some small container of possible spaghetti sauce, and a packet of meat sauce… and just added some onion, garlic, salt, pepper, oregano and basil. So, the sauce was pretty good I think… at least for blindly mixing different things in the hope of something good coming out of it.

I will probably be eating spaghetti for breakfast, lunch and dinner tomorrow… and will mostly likely still have leftover… heh heh. I really need to make a list of things to buy with my first paycheck… on top of the list… a microwave, since I apparently cook for a whole Hispanic-portioned-eating family… ::shrugs::

Well… guess that’s all. Here’s hoping that I can upload this tomorrow once I get internet… ::crosses fingers::
