Grey and Rainy
That's what the weather has been over here for the last few days, so nothing too exciting has happened. I am starting to get ready to go to South Korea for my winter break, and we will soon get ready to move to our new school over the break also. Yippee, no more deteriorating walls, cockroaches, or worn-through carpets. Everything will be fresh, new, and clean!
This morning, I went for a run for the first time in almost three months. I decided that I needed to start running again for a multitude of reasons. I forgot how different you see things when you run. I ventured away from my apartment-to-train station route and instead, headed down the street that runs alongside the creek. It turns out that this street continues for quite a ways and is lined with trees and nice people (rather than the cars and strange looks of the more main streets here). I also came across a cemetery (the first one I've seen in Japan); it was tucked back behind some houses.
By running, I am also trying to smooth out my leg cancer (as I have come to call it). Since I have moved here, I have lost some weight. I have also developed a horizontal ridge the runs across my mid thigh on both legs (you can sort of see it at the top of the picture above). The only logical cause I can offer for this odd muscle definition is the fact that I go up and down a million steps in a day. So, I am hoping that I can smooth it out with a little running.

If not, I could always try a little voodoo magic with this monster from Omotesando...

... and some giant koi that are everywhere.
