You Ain't no Picasso

the air in tokyo hasn't smelled any better than this in a while.. hello, its 15 past 3 and I have officially started the much anticipated internship. Tokyo has been a grand better than I thought it would be like...

when i got here though, they basically weren't bullshitting when they told me that I was going to start right away.. My first day started off with running across the city from Ometesando to Ayase which is basically from distance... (San Francisco to San Jose or Manhattan to Newark Airport).. in the rain.. without an umbrella..

by the time i came back, they told me my schedule.. which i found out that I was working more than I thought i would.. 9am-6pm and occasionally.. throw in a overshift between somedays.. I'm off from Thursday's to Sunday

I ended my first day at 3am.. they needed extra people to help with their benefit party or whatever. Which ended up being fun. but very draining..

my third day here started off right.. with an 5.0 magnitude earthquake tremble.. so cute right? There was a bookshelf full of books that toppled a few feet away from me and Hatsumi... I expected, after the earthquake and aftershocks, sophie (crazy french bitch) would be like "hey is everyone ok???" no. she was like "CON MERDE!!!" (which is her favorite combo which i later found out was cunt shit) and she pointed at me and hatsumi to put all the 3,000+ archive magazines/books back in the book shelf.. that took us probably a good 7 hours?? it sucked.

after assuming that I would be working like this until August, I was pissing my panties.

but thankfully.. sophie told me that I won't be working long shifts after next week.. and I'll be able to sleep and shit. Phew.

To my surprise.. I've actually been having a lot of fun throughout these couple of days.. I've been meeting new crazy japanese fools.. and actually enjoying every minute of my time here..

enough of my internship.

My grandpappy got me a puppy.. which I later named with cousin, Yumiko... because my grandpa thought it was the best name.. I dont know why.

In terms of how I've been feeling lately, I've been pretty happy. ever since Parsons.. i've been pretty content. its almost bittersweet though, I miss my friends in NY a LOT. I've been away from them in probably a month. and it seems like 4EVERRR. meehaa.

PENIS.

I'm leaving for Taipei with Will to do fun things.. on the 28th. and than thailand for a few days and then my fav, phnom penh. considering the fact that I get thursday's and sunday's offf, I am going to take advantage of that and travel around asia.. cause everything is so close to each other..

I'm in okinawa right now, i need to go.

peace, love and dog,
tiffa

ps. i will post pictures soon. check again laterrr
