greetings from a bus!
i had something important to write about, but in the time it took me to figure out how to disable auto-capitalization i forgot what it was. (-_-)
on a loosely related note, i had a thought the other day that i should make a post about everything that i don't like about myself. that might end up in some really dark territory, but it could also be very therapeutic. i'm not gonna write that one now, so let's change the topic!
i'm 27. that just happened. sometimes i feel old. luckily someone's always there to tell me i'm being silly. 26 was a weird year. definitely not bad, but strange nonetheless.
well this has been unsubstantitive and short. let's hope for something better next time. (^_~)

the forecast. believe it.
101 in 1001. let's reevaluate.
1, 2, 6-13, 15-17, 19-23, 25-39, 43-47, 49-52, 54, 56-60, 62-68, 70-76, 80-83, 85-93, 95, 97, 99, 100— incomplete. no change.
here's what i've done and what i'm changing:
"3- blog weekly (xx/144)" — change to "3- write 144 blog entries". current progress: 16/144.
"4- vlog monthly (x/34)" — change to "4- post 34 vlog entries". current progress: 2/34.
"5- learn to play 10 new songs on the bass (x/10)" — change to "5- learn to play 15 new complete songs on any instrument". current progress: 0/15.
"14- read 5 japanese novels (x/5)" — current progress: 1/5. i read 星の王子さま ("the little prince" translated into japanese).
"18- write a letter by hand" — i may have done this, but because i can't remember for sure, we'll count this as still incomplete.
"24- amass a savings of 1,000,000 yen (approx. $12,000)" — current progress: ¥280,000.
"40- drink beer in a bowling alley" — completed. not really that special.
"41- watch 'buffy the vampire slayer' in its entirety" — current progress: watching season 5 of 7.
"42- NaNoWriMo" — incomplete. i failed this year, so i'll have to try again next year.
"48- literally meet someone for a cup of coffee" — completed. i've done this twice now.
"53- go to 20 new bars (x/20)" — current progress: 7/20. let's see if i can remember their names... tanya, drunken duck (katsuta), drunken duck (mito), second earth. can't remember the other three. one was jamaican themed. one okinawan. and one was a really tiny hole in the wall in mito.
"55- buy an area rug" — completed.
"61- experience love" — this happened, but was one-sided. change to "61- experience requited love". as such, incomplete.
"69- decide what kanji i would use to represent my name" — completed. after some consideration, i've decided to go with the rather normal combo "佐美".
i have a feeling i'll get that elusive "76" soon (the cheese one).
"77- play hide and seek with people my age" — completed. after thanksgiving dinner.
"78- watch the best picture winners/nominees from 1996-2010 (x/56)" — current progress: 7/56. most recently i watched "precious" and "good will hunting". both are fantastic films.
"79- sing a david bowie song at karaoke" — completed. i've sung "space oddity" and "star man".
"84- swallow a piece of gum" — completed. i wonder where it is now?
"94- pick up a chicken" — i held a chicken at the zoo a few months ago, but it was handed to me so i don't think i should count it since i didn't exactly pick it up myself. as such, incomplete.
"96- give a high five to each of the following: a policeman, a cook, and a store clerk" — i don't think i really care to do this. change to "96- dye my hair".
"98- ride my bike while completely drunk" — completed. probably shouldn't do it again.
"101- lose my virginity to someone i care about" — things didn't really go according to plan on that one. sorry, but i don't care to elaborate. change to "101- become conversant in 2 more languages". not at all related, i know, but i couldn't think of anything else. and i really want to learn korean. and maybe french.
in other news i've had a great holiday! i hope to write about it soon.
