MOVIES!

Dear blog, I’ve noticed that I feel really bad when its humid. It feels nice at first, then I get sweaty and self conscious, and then it goes downhill from there. Until I am able to eat something, watch Youtube/Instagram, or sleep, I feel like a stinky, walking blob and I’m no fan of that. I’ve been thinking of this issue since I got to Japan. How do I go into the heat constantly feeling fresh? Still can’t figure it out…

I’ve been out of my dorm for a long time. I did not sleep for 10 hours as I said yesterday. It’s quite the opposite. I slept probably 5 hours. I was gonna sleep today, but I’ve been really wanting to watch the Michael movie and The Devil Wears Prada 2. I first watched TDWP2. It was pretty bad. It literally just felt like fanfare for the sake of fanfare. Then, the Michael movie which was pretty great. During it, it may have been the first time I felt proud being the only black of a sea of Japanese. The movie depicted Michael to be the most loving, closest-to-Jesus figure. IDK if he was like that IRL, but it really inspired me.

When I was walking to the theater, an idol performance in the park was going on. This is another part of Japanese culture I don’t appreciate: all of the idols were at most 13 years old. As for the audience? ~30 y/o men. Gross if you ask me. I didn’t like it at all. I’d be okay with it if there were children in the audience, but there weren’t. Super gross.

I’ll write more some other time. Tomorrow, I am going to the museum with Emi-san and I’m semi-excited, semi-exhausted since I spent basically the entirety of today out and not resting. OK, じゃね！also, only TEN days left… wow…
