Leaving home, coming home

I can has a swan_tower and K!

I can also, finally, have soymilk ramen at Mamezen with my friend M and his +1, can finish Pluto vol. 8 and the first chapter of Itô Go's Tezuka is Dead (snap judgment: GoITO is a genius and my hero) at the Manga Museum research room, and can send 13.7kg of books to California by special printed matter sea mail rate. I will get them in October or thereabouts. And I had ramune soft cream tonight, at last; it really is pretty good.

This weekend I also packed my large suitcase, prefatory to sending it to Kansai Airport ahead of me (22.8kg, oh yeah) and packed up most of my apartment and gave all the household items and groceries to my friend S, who has just started his MA (finally) at Kyodai.

What else have I been doing? On Thursday I went to Hikone and then to the Nagahama Fireworks with my friend K, which were amazing. Friday I hung out with my high school classmate A and her roommate M in Osaka, which was pretty cool. It looks like I won't actually manage to get to Kobe this trip, which is too bad, but there's always next time.

So yeah, for right now, things are pretty great.
