weekend

just got home and made some of my spaghetti - added some tofu this time. The last two days have been pretty fun.

last night, after going to machida, I went to a party at shinjuku school that I was late for. There was plenty of beer left, but there were also kids there - everyone felt kind of weird drinking around kids. Two people from shibuya school(where I also teach) tomo and tae invited vicente and I (and two of tomo's friends) to an izakaya to eat and drink. The bar had all of these little enclosures composed of fake grass and fake snow. It made for nice atmosphere, though. Tae and tomo went home, and vicente and I went to a 200 yen beer bar and then I missed my train(again) and crashed in meguro. I woke up this morning and decided to get some xmas shopping done. I went to "kiddy land" and took care of most of my cute japanese toy shopping.
I'm going to go for another round of shopping tomorrow before my business class or on friday.

After kiddy land, I went to the museum of contemporary art's free reading room and read an entire book about francis bacon(20th century painter Francis bacon). I like his work. Without going too far into detail and sounding like a moron, I think he does a good job of conveying the "unthought" or unconscious through his pictures. Cool. I think I'm going to try and make it to that museum at least twice a month. My artistic vocabulary is extremely limited and I'd like to change that. I'm starting with artists that have interested me in the past and going from there. If you have any recommendations, please post them in comments....


I left about 3 or 4 hours later and now I'm home. I bought a big bowl b/c the ones the real estate agency gave us are shitty.
