If it seems like all I ever do is shop, that's because it's true. I shop, take walks, drink coffee and study Japanese. I was really enjoying this for two months but sometime last week I suddenly got sick of it. Now I'm so bored in Yamagata I could die. Two months is kind of my limit for the countryside. Tonight I finally gave in and threw myself a tantrum.
This picture of my tantrum is hilarious and cheers me up. Don't worry, I'll figure something out.
You know what I don't mind about Yamagata? The snow!
I was afraid the novelty would wear off quickly but it hasn't. This is my first snowy winter and I don't know if I'll ever have another, so I'm savoring it. Yamagata snow is as light and powdery as dust. It's very pretty and fun to walk in. The wind is painfully cold but I like how it scatters the snow like sand on the beach.
I think I would be a lot more bored without the snow and that's a scary thing to imagine.

Hi - I'm a random reader. I was searching for teaching abroad programs in Japan and came upon your blog. Are you teaching in Japan or just shopping? I'm guessing I should avoid rural Japan?
I live in seattle, and I'm digging the grunge style :) cheers - Kenna
whitney - SOOOON!
sarah - they're not THAT thin i think i got lucky with the shot, but thanks. and lol that was quite a tantrum
kenna -
i'm teaching here.
by no means should you just avoid rural japan. it depends on what you're into. and yamagata's an awesome place, i'm just fickle and unreasonable and get miserable if i don't know i can find a crowd of strangers to party with at any hour of any day, so, you know. i personally feel better in the big cities.
and thanks for the comment! fuckin NW pride on this page!

You're right, I totally remember the name now. I don't really remember the show though. There could be many reasons for that.
