I did a little shopping today and got some new boots and socks and about 400 matches so I can light the oven rings without burning my thumb on a lighter. The boots are nice and black and, most importantly, waterproof~ It must have rained 1/3rd of the time I’ve been here and my other shoes tend to act like a sponge in torrential downpours.

Tomorrow I’m going up town to give a copy of my CV to two potential employees; a YMCA store that is in need of an assistant manager/manager and a grill restaurant that needs both cooks and serving staff. Hopefully I’ll get the kitchen job, grilling is a hell of a lot easier than trying to decipher the four different accents the people of this city seem to have. I might buy some new underwear and a cardigan while I’m up there. Maybe some dress pants, too.

Yoji~
