Oh give me a hooome where the Asians can rooooam

You know what I have to say to that? Muay Thai.. but shorter.

So.. Hachi and I found a place. Yay!

It's a little more expensive thant he current place. Boo.

It's two blocks from Downtown Evanston and the Metra. (Commuter rail train to get to work in Chicago). Yay!

It's not available until August 1. Boo.

It has a working wood burning fireplace. Yay!

We gotta be out of our place by July 1. Boo.

It's getting new countertops and a new dishwasher. Yay!

I won't be living in 'Chicago' anymore. Boo.

I could legally own a handgun in Evanston. Muhaha. I mean Yay!


Yeah there's pros and cons to it. I'm not sure which outweigh which but after apartment hopping for the past uhh 4+ years, I've gotten used to the drill and each place has definitely gotten progressivly better than the last. I know I definitely like the place. I was telling Hachi, when it's nice out and the windows are open.. all that would be missing would be the sound of the ocean outside... she said she'd get me a CD... awesome.

I'm sleepy will post more later when I'm awake. Stupid work.

A willful stray cat

No posts as of late. Busy with work and trying to find a new apartment. Also the pc at home was dead for a bit. It was recently hit with the Hachi.c virus which is Haruka's new name hehehehe.

So PThug has been into these Asian dramas lately and some of them are actually pretty good.

These are two that I really have liked;

Nana. This is based off a manga and also has an anime series I'd want to watch. Mika Nakashima and Yuna Ito have joined the list of some of my fav jpop artists;

Aya Ueto
Ayumi Hamasaki
Anna Tsuchiya

Now if I could only stop being a slacker and learn how to speak Japanese huh? Awesome.

Oh right and the other one is a Korean flick called My Sassy Girl. Regardless of the name, the movie is pretty funny and cute in that chick flick kind of way.

Right.. back to work and apartment hunting.

Oh... check out this flick on youtube. I need to learn how to play an instrument. I'm still learning towards classical piano or blues/jazz style clarinet or both one day. Now if I could just win the lottery so I could devote time to things I want to do.. yes.

Canon Rock Twin Guitar version.

Movie quote from Nana: (From subtitles of course)

"You're like a willful stray cat. Full of pride and freedom. Bearing wounds that can't be healed."
