EDIT: Sunday ought to be exciting, for my friend Ezzie, and my newly acquired friend, Anne, are coming! I'm not sure if Michael is, but I will be sure to buy enough food in any case.
Before I left for Japan, I let myself buy one television show for the first difficult few months. This show was the unfortunate choice of BBC 2's Robin Hood. The most unfortunate thing about it, aside from the downright awful scripting that happens every now and again, and the blaring plot holes, is that it is only thirteen episodes long. I've been trying to space them, watching commentaries on episodes I have just watched, and watching an extra instead of an episode. But my time is almost done, and without internet I fear my sanity. Escapism is like a drug, and one needs it at least every few days.
However, the show isn't all bad. It has some very good ideas, and the characters, in general, are very interesting. One character I like in particular is Much (who is played by the grandson of Patrick Troughton, the 2nd Doctor! Coolies!), the manservant of Robin Hood. The following page is off in its description of him, but here it is anyways:

Despite the impending lack of Robin, I have found some respite in some very intriguing JDramas. What their names are and what they are about, I am unable to say. Nevertheless, the incessant indignant slapping of one another is just enough to take the edge off.
Last night, I watched the taiko drums practice for tomorrow's matsuri. Expect photos and updates on Monday, or for those of you who are current living in the past, Sunday.
