Wow, for the last two weeks, almost every night has been me going out and hanging out with people or being involved in some activity outside of my place.  Fortunately, this weekend will be a three day one so I can actually stay at home and concentrate on some much needed activities there (i.e. sleep).  These past few days though have just been nutty.  Check it out:

• Home party two weekends ago.  Stayed over while watching Superbad.  Three girls there and one was snoring :p
• Only worked out twice last week.  Hung out with Dan one night and ate at TGIFs.
• Last Monday.  Coworker's birthday.  Got flippin' drunk.  Coworker was pouring me endless cups of shochu and I downed each cup like water.  Barely made it home that night and barely made it to the office the next day.
• Previous week before that I only could work out once since the rest of the time was meeting people every night for dinner.
• Last Thursday met up with some friends over at Shinjuku.  Grabbed Krispy Kremes and El Torito for dinner.  Yeah, sounds healthy, huh?!!?
• Friday felt terrible and went straight home.  Needed the energy for Saturday.
• Saturday another home party.  Saw some old friends.  Didn't get too drunk but met some cool new people.  Hung out until 6:30 am.  Came home and almost immediately passed out.
• Sunday was me sleeping almost all day.  I'd wake up only to fall asleep again.
• Monday, yakiniku party with two of my friends in Tokyo at my favorite yakiniku spot in town.  Got stuffed.  Had conversation with friend at night to cap it off.
• Thursday.  Anticipate Thanksgiving dinner or someone will be like Benny Hill

Just a really nutty few weeks.  I've always wanted to know what having a life was like.  I tell you, if I were in LA, I'd only be able to do this once every three months.  And that's because I'd have to go to Vegas for having a real life.

It's a damn tragedy that the stupid Japanese government is going to start fingerprinting foreigners and make them stand in the non-Japanese line.  I say this because I want to show that I'm conflicted in living here vs being politicized here.  Living here is fun once you get passed all the primary day-to-day bullshit.  So I guess, I'll have to deal with it once every few times a year now.
