Everybody's talkin' at me

I always have a million things i want to say and a million ideas for what to write about here until i actually COME here and then all those things evaporate into expired atoms in the air. On the way to work today, i was coming down the escalator listening to " Everybody's talkin' at me " by some old musician from the 60's or 70's, i forgot. I think that song basically sums up my life. I feel like that song is all about the world passing you by and feeling like you're alone in the world. Not in a " Oh woe is me " kind of loneliness but a sort of, " Well, i guess this is life" sort of loneliness. I don't even really think it's loneliness. It's more like " So this is it, this is life ". That's a song that i really relate to.
Yesterday was my day off so i went to Kinokuniya to buy some Japanese text books because that whole posit that you can just ' pick up ' a language in a new country is utter bullshit. I haven't picked up anything really important or worthwhile to the advancement of my Japanese skills other than " I don't need a plastic bag " and " No, thank you". You gotta study and apply yourself no matter where you are for language to consolidate. After that, i went to Harajuku just because i had time and hadn't been there since my last trip in May. I can't believe this is the city that i call home now. Everywhere is just so full of attitude and personality. Each suburb has it's own identity and Harajuku in my opinion has one of the strongest vibes and identities that there is in Tokyo.

I need a new laptop so badly. Mine is way gone / way past its use by date. I think i've had it for about five years now so it's high time that i got a new one. I will endeavor to buy a new one next Thursday at Akihabara because my manuscript is due this fucking month. It's crept up on me faster than i thought it would and i really need to get it out there again. Right now, i'm at work. I don't have a client until one o'clock but a surprise booking can happen anytime and they are the scariest things ever. You'd be all chill and prepared and then BOOM you get a surprise client that's coming in less than five minutes and you've got to get your shit together before they come. I feel really happy that i'm enjoying my work here.
