Have recently taken up origami to assauge boredom. Now I'm trying to do zenbazuru, ye olde thousand crane challenge. (For Japanese students: can be broken down to sen-ba-tsuru, only with tenten on the actual crane part. You know how the Japanese are with their tenten and combining words.) This morning my skills improved to the effect that I can make cranes without thinking about them and in midair. I'm now working on doing them with my eyes closed. (They turn out okay, but they're usually lopsided in some way. Hmmm...)
Also popped over the hyaku-en store last night to buy origami and other necessities. Now I have paper with hearts, cherries, Winnie the Pooh (or 'Pooh-san,' as I have discovered he is called here), glow-in-the-dark stars, and witty Engrish statements on them. (The Engrish really is quite amusing. I even gave in and bought a notebook with a hedgehog on it and the quote 'I am really quite good at the needlework thing.' Because of course I am.)
And then. And then. I discovered the hidden treasure of Japan:
the furuhon-ya.
Or, better, the used book store.
OHMYGOD.
Nevertheless, I remained quite calm. Really. Quite, quite calm. Okay, I thought. Books. Lots of books. 105 yen a piece. Okay. They're in Japanese. That's okay. We're good. Books. Cheap books. Everywhere. In good condition. Right. Nice books. Tasty, delicious - no, no - books, everywhere, cheap and for only a hundred yen apiece and ohmygod that was definitely just a Yukine Honami illustration I saw dearest Jesus *LUNGE*.
...Surprisingly, after going through an entire shelf of the used manga section (then I had to leave nooooooo), I only bought two books. (Yes, one was a Yukine Honami. The first volume of Rin!, to be precise.) I'm already regretting not buying more, but oh, the time will come. Yessss...
...I really have too much free time now, don't I. Oh dear.

HOLY SHIT.
I'm not stalking you I swear. I was just trying to find out how to fold zenbazuru and this came up under google and about half-way down reading the page I'm thinking to myself 'this sounds a lot like Sara.' And when I'm done the person who signed it is Sara.
So hey it's k choi. xP
And I'm not kidding if you search zenbazuru you're like the 5th one down.
Which is freaky ass shit I must say. The internet is getting too small.
