Let's see how I did, shall we? My to-do list for the day was:

- moar nihongo! Not as much as I would have liked, but my brain shut down around 10 and I couldn't make myself do anything more. Still, I'm now only a day and a half behind, instead of 3, so that's not too bad -- I have Tuesday off to catch up completely ^_^

- do another load of laundry/put more clothes out to air Still have half a storage bin full of stuff, but it's mostly scarves and heavy sweaters, which I won't be needing for another month or so, most likely, so they can wait;

- sew a futon cover This took a bit longer than expected because at first I couldn't find the fabric I wanted, then when I did, I realised that I didn't have 2 metres, but 2 yards (I'd bought it online from the States -- seriously, U.S., get with the program and go metric, like the rest of the world! :P) which wasn't quite enough, so I had to add yet another fabric, but it turned out all right;

- do the dishes;

- vacuum Ion-kun seems to have gotten over his snit, or maybe it's the cooler weather. Either way, I was able to do the whole apartment without him shutting down!

- get groceries but forgot to buy more kleenex. Oh well, still have most of a box, plus the bag full of advertising tissue packs in my closet;

- start NonNaNoWriMo, i.e. write up my travels for my travelpod;

- watch more Project Runway so that I can finally catch up and discuss it with K tomorrow Watched one episode while darning socks. Have any of you ever darned socks? I can't remember ever doing it before, but these are funky knee-highs, i.e. not as disposable as most of the socks I usually wear. I remember my mother darning socks when I was little, teaching me that the best way to do it is to stretch the sock over a lightbulb. Since I had no lightbulb handy, I used a PET bottle, which works almost as well;

- email some people to whom I've long owed replies (A, A, C, D, T).

7 out of 9 isn't too shabby, what say you? Now I shall get ready for bed, hoping that my knees won't be as sore tomorrow. I really think it's the extra time spent studying cross-legged at my table that's doing it, because I can't think of anything else I've been doing differently.

Today I:

- felt my first earthquake in I-don't-know-how-long, and only because I had woken up to go to the bathroom. Otherwise, I would most likely have slept through it. Again*;
- slept in until 10:30 or so, which hasn't happened in forever;
- ate the two leftover slices of pizza (not in the same sitting, because good lord, they were huge! How did we manage to eat two each last night?!) and they were yummy;
- cleaned my apartment top to bottom: vacuumed, scrubbed the bathroom and the toilet, washed the dishes, put away my clean laundry, put away the air mattresses and cushions that were still lying around from BB's and TC's visit, even properly wiped down the tatami mats, and would have done another load of laundry but for the damp and the rain;
- finally sewed a proper cover for my computer chair;
- did some serious in-my-head planning for the DPP: I think I'll to tackle Belle next (once I put the fringe on Pocahontas), just because it'll be satisfying to get something that big (I'm thinking it'll be at least 10m of fabric, easily) out of the way;
- watched DragonLance: Dragons of Autumn Twilight. IT WAS SO BAD!!! DDDX But in a hilarious way, thankfully. I took many, many screencaps so that I can write up a thorough(ly scathing) review. >:)

* There was a rather strong earthquake one night while M-P and I were in Taiwan, and I didn't even twitch, in spite of one of the girls in our dorm letting out a surprised shriek and everyone else waking up when it happened.
