Anyone that has spoken with me recently will have heard my judgement regarding the weather here.

Its cold

Damn cold!

Colder than Hell on the day of the yearly Red Bull Pig Race.

And my winter clothes were coming back on a slow boat from . . . . well, Japan.

THEY CAME! Oh sweet Jezus, they came.

Don’t they just look lovely. And with the winter clothes came all my books. I rushed to my last open shelf in my book-case and . . . .

Filled it.

Yeah euhm . . . I probably should work on my organisational skills.

Bringing my total count of books brought back from Japan to 41. Combining with the 4 I had with me on the plane and the 5 I left behind that means I read 50 books during my time in Japan.

My commute really sucked. Have I mentioned that?

To be fair I suppose I should make that number 49 though. On the bottom picture, below Neil Gaiman’s Anansi Boys (very good book btw) there lies Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger and I just wasn’t going to plow through a book written around a character that reminds me too much of myself during an unpleasant time in my life, thank you.

Anyway. Winter clothes. Yeeh!

I’m not really going to show you pictures or anything. I will just take this time to write from my overcooled room at uni, cozy warm. Yummie. Also, I now have more than the 1 pair of jeans to wear.

Oh, don’t look at me like that. I had one more. It just sorta . . .broke. If my clothes would not have arrived by yesterday i would have bought more. Honest.

Most of the stuff has been filed. Books in the bookcase. Clothes in the washing machine (2 months on a freight ship . No, they’re not going straight in my wardrobe) and euhm . . .

Half a box of crap left. I haven’t dared look too close at it for fear of the “Why the hell did I ship that crap. Why isn’t it on some Japanese Garbage pile somewhere” thought. I’ll see if I can remove 3 boxes from my room this weekend.

There are currently 4. That’s true, but what student room is complete without cardboard boxes.

I’ve been back for almost 2 months now. I reckon I should have my room in order now. But as my parents will tell you . . . No. Not going to happen.
