無事!

I'm back from Sendai! It was awesome -- and to cap it all off, I got home half an hour earlier than expected, YES! -- but it's late and I'm tired, so I'll just take a page from Masa's book blog and say 無事に終わりました！！, which is what he says in every single entry.

On Saturday, he added

牛タンPOWER全開です（笑）

牛タンタタンタンタタンタン♪

Oh, Masa. XD

Actually, I ate 牛タン (gyuutan, a.k.a. cow's tongue) on Saturday as well, after... well, I'll write all about it tomorrow.

Before I forget, Eda: you know the fuzzy scrunchy thing that was in the little gift bag from you on your birthday? The one that I can't use because I am tragically lacking in hair? Tabitha thanks you for the lovely cat toy. ^o^

(no subject)

I was all geared up to post pictures of my trip to Sendai, or at least of last week's snow, but then I logged into Photobucket and realised I've got a million other pictures to post first. So. Yeah. -__-;

Recently, especially over the past year, I've lived so many amazing moments that it seems whiny to say that I feel somehow dissatisfied. Actually, dissatisfied isn't quite the right word. It's more that I'm starting to really feel that I'm letting myself down by not trying to improve at the things I really love. I can pick up new things easily enough, and do a passable job at them, but I've never really worked as hard as I feel I could, as hard as I see others working, to really achieve something.

You know what I need? More time. I've got all these things I want to do, but I don't know how to organise things so that they all fit nicely into my schedule. A step in the right direction, of course, would be to get myself in gear and stop wasting time lying around in the evenings, but where to get the motivation? I think I mentioned a while back wanting to create some sort of "Goal of the Month" club, and I'm seriously mulling it over.

Who wants to join me? What is(are) your goal(s)? Do you want me to make up stamp cards so you can get a stamp for each small accomplishment and I can give you a big shiny sticker when you reach your goal? :D

(I'm serious, here, folks...)
