wow, so it's been exactly one year today that i moved into my own place and it's still awesome. at first i really didn't want to use the word "house-i-versary" that wongie made up for it, but after she kept saying it like 18 million times it's stuck in my head now and i can't NOT say it... but that's okay, because this is a big deal, i mean, getting my own place was the start of what got me started even writing this blog. i can't imagine still living at home, come home from work and having to talk to people all the time, giving everyone my weekend plans every friday so they can begin asking a stomach-churning amount of questions, having to censor my tv laughing and comment making while watching dumb tv shows. it's like i have a real life now or something. still, there are some things that i miss about living at home... allie (the dog) for one, a refrigerator full of food (and not having to eat the same lasagna for one whole week because i've got so much leftovers), i guess... family too... or whatever.
look at how great my place looked when it was brand new... so clean... so empty... nice huh? sigh... i like the blank slate look very much. well, it's still very nice, just got some paint now and some furniture, but still a crappy electric piano, i still don't really have enough money to get a real piano yet... that's one 1-year goal that i didn't get to reach. but the yard is done, that was a big project, but no way does it still look as nice as this:
awww, look how pretty it was! and in the morning there used to be little mushrooms that popped up (and then died by the time lunch came around), that was really cool (after growing up on mario, mushrooms growing right in my yard was like nirvana... plus they always remind me of japan, like totoro or mononoke hime or something). now it's all sparse and dry and no way looking so nice. i think it doesn't get enough sun or something... and there's still all those disgusting flying long legged bugs all over the place too. things need to change, that would be a good 2nd year goal, make the yard a liveable place... get rid of the bugs, restore the lawn, maybe plant one of those little japanese trees or something, that'd be cool.
all in all though, i'm uber-happy with the way that everything turned out. so, big party this saturday for the house-i-versary, gonna be great i hope, i dunno, it might be a mixing of people because i invited the work friends and regular friends too so hopefully no one will be too bored or awkward feeling (beer helps with both those problems). but before that, i had to celebrate on my actual house-i-versary day, so after my workout i went to buy myself a special little dinner (otherwise i would've been another day of the lasagna leftovers)... tonkatsu donburi with tsukemono and salad, then i make a little bit of miso soup and some green tea to top it off, yummy!

hahahaha, i knew my house-i-versary would catch on! yes! i'm all proud now, you have no idea. hey, where did you get your celebration dinner?
it's from maru-hi in town center. have you been there recently? they renovated the inside, it looks really nice now, but way crowded i think. they do take out you can just walk in and order at the counter.
