Other random things:

People are so conservative... or rather, people here talk about more real-life things, and when it comes to that, most people are conservative and traditional in the end. I am so out of touch with anything like that. I just sort of fool around.

It's been in the high 90's, which is [insert temperature scale which the rest of the world uses]. But it's so dry here that it feels cooler than it was in Tokyo.

Found out some new details about the anarchist/communist commune in NY where my mom grew up. Turns out there's a bunch of stories from people she knew in a book called Anarchist Voices which one of my brothers picked up. Everybody agrees that the communists ruined everything. XD

Spazzed at people who know nothing about video games, let alone Gyakuten Saiban, about the new game and its portrayal of the TRUE LOVE of Mitsurugi and Mei... received blank stares in response, but my fangirling could not be submerged.

Read some random books, most of which were either non-fic or in the "dusty classics people may have been assigned to read in school" category. One exception was Memoirs of a Geisha, which was somehow almost totally lacking in atmosphere but had some historical details which held my interest.

Went river rafting in Taos! Didn't die.

Met up with a friend I haven't seen since high school. Didn't die. (Was far more nervous about this than the rafting).

Oops... I may have inadvertently sent a bunch of people facebook spam...

I'M VERY SORRY IF I DID. T____T

I was trying to add people, lol. Ack.
