Non- Rant w00t!

So the past 4 or so posts have essentially been rants (some more cleverly disguised than others.. o.0) So today I decided the post on some non-rant things. Of course things other than school life goes on in Japan. And what kind of expat living in Japan would I be if I did not post on the DEATH WEATHER!!!!!!!

So a lot of Japanese people consider Hawaii's weather to be "All-year round summer". Knowing this I have no idea why they come to my State. Japan's summers are the worst things I've experienced....in my life! I mean its so hot and sticky you can see it in the air. It's like San Francisco fog, but instead of cold and wet (and note, the hotter it gets the more moisture can be held in the air) its hot and disgusting!

My friend from England taught me a word, minging, it means disgusting. It's a bit hard to explain but every time its death hot/humid (and they always come in pairs) he uses this word. And doesn't it just sound icky? So with that I've felt like a giant disgusting monster, sweating up a storm.

For this reason aloung with the fact I swear the Japanese themselves do not sweat (I figure from years of natural selection, where only the least disgusting non-sweaters can get mates in the summer time) I have had to buy arm-pit pads. Thats right, its much akin to those things you stick in your undies when your on the rag, except! their for your arm pits!

More proof that the Japanese themselves don't sweat is these arm-pit pads are not easy to find. I saw them by chance last year but since I came to Japan in August (the tail end of DEATH HOT) I didn't think I needed it. Also before I stopped to plugging up my arm pits with pads, I actually did try Japanese antiperspirant. It did not work out so well, as in it didn't work at all. A bad thing since I thought oh I'm using the antiperspirant, I'll wear my gray shirt today! Man, one of the worst idea's ever.

Also, I do not think I am a sweaty beast, in Hawaii I NEVER used antiperspirant, or deodorant. And I didn't sweat much at all. Then again I do have a unique physiology, I don't sweat at all until I hit a certain critical mass and then its like the flood gates open and I'm a sweaty mess.

Well, anyhow that my current aside, so now armed with my armpit pads I can now dare to wear such sexy numbers as uniqlo light blue shirt number 2. (As a note my fashion sense has failed to improve in Japan..)

Another random aside before I go, yesterday was the Fourth of July, and while I do not fancy myself as patriot I went to a mini party to celebrate, and all I can say is damn is Yoshii Machi far, and holy crap I should not do that when I KNOW I have to make two lesson plans and have 3 classes back to back in the morning. That aside, I have to say it went pretty well considering but I now have a headache.

Oh, and one last thing, my parents are coming holy crap! My apartment is a mess, I still need to get stuff for them. So all I can really think about now is getting my party on, because once they hit, I will be doing anything but partying. (most likely crying in the corner)
