Today was totally video game day! I was playing Donkey Kong 64 all day. I know DK64 is old game, but it's really good game. I don't know why, but suddenly, I had a urge to play this game. I actually started playing from the beginning, so I am still lots of banana to collect, but I really really enjoyed playing this game. Although Rareware is not going to make another DK game, I hope they make good game like DK64!! I don't understand why Nintendo sold Rareware to Microsoft... Oh well, I guess if you have money, you can do anything!

Ugh. Today was, again, DK64 day. I was trying to clean my room, but I couldn't help playing DK64! Now, I have to clean and do landry! Suuuucks. I even forgot to watch spongebob!! Madness!!!

I was looking at the letter from UIC about my admission. I was accepted from UIC in social work, but in order to be fully admitted, I need to take history and biology classes in this summer. And also, I need to take basic skill test too. Ugh! Oh well, since I wanna be a counselor, I am pretty sure I won't go to UIC. Up till now, I have been accepted from three schools. Well, they are all my backup schools, so I am still waiting to hear from Northwestern, Loyola, and IUB! Ugh. I am sick of waiting!!!!

I have been trying to use movabletype as my log editor. I actually installed cgi script long time ago, but didn't have a time to learn how to use it because I was still in school!! And now, I am thinking to work on that since I am free like a bird! I also secretly installed forum in my site, but never made it to the public because I didn't like the interface. And now I am thinking to get one because I am free man like a mug!

I went to Sam's club in Evanston today. I have been to Evanston hell alot in the past couple weeks. But, for some reasons, I really didn't hang out with Priyada, so we had a lunch together in this afternoon. She looked pretty tired because she just finished her mid-term, but now she needs to work on her finals. I have been thinking what my life will be once I start my master's program from this fall. I guess I don't wanna think about it right now!!

It's snowing. We are finally having winter storm. Yappiee!

I was re-organizing my room in this evening. Moving around furniture wasn't fun, but I think I was able to use my limited room space more efficiently. I really like my studio room, but one thing I don't like about this room is there is only one telephone outlet. Mmmmm. Oh, and my fucking neighbor's dog!

I was watching Bush's news conference and thought "Mmm, he really likes starting war!" Ugh. Since I am totally against any military actions, I don't like his idea. It's hard to believe that more than 60% of Americans support Bush's position because I haven't met anyone who actually thinks war is the way to go! Weeeell, maybe if Iraq attacks US before US attacks Iraq, American people would be so mad something like "Why he didn't attack Iraq!!!!" Soooo, I guess I kinda understand his position....but I still think he just wants to destroy Iraq which something his dad couldn't finish... Mmmmm, so much family loooooove!!

Oi Oi Oi!!! I wanna speak British English cos they sound really funny!! Oi Oi Oi!! I was working on the student loan application from citibank and I am not sure if I can get approved before I go back to Japan! I guess I just change my plan then! Oi!

Oh oh, congratulation to Ryan Hamilton. He emailed me he got accepted from IUPUI! I still don't understand why he is going to go to the law school there... Mmm, it's some kinda of trend to be a lawyer??? And I cannot imagine Ryan will be a lawyer because he is kinda push over (juuuust a little bit). Well, I guess I cannot imagine me becoming a counselor though because I am kinda self centered (juuuust a little bit). I am going to be a counselor, and Ryan id going to be a lawyer, and the world still keeps spinning. M'm M'm good!

Daaaaaaaaaamnit! I have been having really hard time finding my co-signer for student loan! I would ask my dad if my dad is U.S. citizen, but indeed, he is not. So, I need to find someone who has U.S. citizenship, makes more than $18,000 per year, and is debt-to-income ratio of less than 45%! If you think you are one of these people, help meeeeeeee!! I cannot believe this because if my dad were my co-signer, I would get approved right away!! This is really frustrating!!

I was pretty pissed about my loan application, so I cleaned my room to calm down. As a result, my bath room is clean like a mug!! Yaaaay!!!! After I cleaned my room, I went to sushi restaurant called "hey sushi" with Matt and Melissa. I was pissed and hungry, so I ate alot. I think my total bill was more than combining total bill of Melissa and Matt!! Oh well, who cares!!!!!!!!

It was soooooooo cold today!! Brrrrr!!! I went to whole foods market to pick up some stuff in this morning. Although I got there around noon, the plaza was already packed!! Ugh!! I guess everyone loves bestbuy!!

Matt and Melissa came over to have dinner with me. It was my first time to cook for them, so I tried to not screw up! I think I did okay job on cooking. After that, we went back to their house to watch six feet under. I have never seen that show before, but the show was so good! I think I will rent first season!!

It's still cold like a mug!! But, it is supposed to be near 60 in this weekend, so I think I can wait.... I had an appointment with my trainer, but he called me in this morning saying he was having trouble with getting to the gym. Mmmm, I wonder what kinda trouble he was having.... Sicne I am a nice guy and stuff, I agreed to re-schedule appointment tomorrow. But I did go to the gym to work out! I am so good trainee!

After I came back from the gym, Melissa and I went to the downtown for shopping. When we were waiting for the train, I saw huge picture of Suze Orman. Ugh. I just hate her for lots of reasons!! One reason is I saw her TV ads for her financial management kits including her new book which was fucking expensive! She is saying if you wanna money, don't buy unnecessary thing, but she is selling financial management kits which seems to be unnecessary on TV! Anyway, I haven't been to the downtown for a while, so it was nice to see all new stuff in the store shelves. I actually didn't buy anything except my skin toner and cleanser! I think I just didn't feel like buying all spring clothes under this cold weather, or maybe I was still recovering from seeing huge Suze Orman picture at the train station!! Melissa was trying ridiculously huge pants at j.crew just for fun. Actually, she didn't look bad, but she did look like Avril Lavigne!

Damn. I didn't know I forgot to keep logs two days in row! I feel so lazy ass!! Well, actually, I am. Well, but I do go to the gym everyday, so I am not that lazy. I didn't really really wanna go to the gym today because my back was kinda hurting and I am lazy. But, I did work out anyway because I am not lazy. Yesterday, I bought new protein shake, but I don't like it at all!! Good thing I didn't buy whole big box! I am so smart like a mug!

I just realized that I hadn't been to tower record since I moved here even though the store is couple blocks from my apt. So, I decided to go to the store because I wanted to buy some CDs (of course). When I went to the downtown with Melissa on Monday, I wanted to go to virgin mega store, but Melissa told me I should go to local CD store to support Chicago business. Well, I do agree with her since I live in chicago, but oh well, screw that! Indeed, I did like the tower record better than other stores because it's not too small, but not too big, and not so many people were shopping there. Also, the staffs are much nicer than virgin mega store! I got new albums from The Postal Service and A Band Of Bees. I think I did make pretty good decision. I was so close to buy Justin Timberlake's album, but I didn't buy it! How strong I am!! Oh well, I hate to admit, but I like his songs. Damnit!

Mmmm. I went to Public i yesterday afternoon to buy the white shirt which I had wanted to buy. But, I didn't buy it at the store because I ended up with buying another shirt and sports jacket! Ugh! I spend the way more than I was planning to spend! I am such a weak person. Oh well, sorry dad! In the evening, I went to Melissa & Matt's house to have some free dinner. Melissa and I tried to take Matt out for drink, but he passed out after couple glasses of wine! Oddly enough, we hang out hell alot, but we actually never go out for a drink before, so it was really fun to go out with Melissa. When we got to the bar, I was already drunk from the wine I had earlier, but, I did drink more. Yaay! I have no idea what time we left the bar! Of course, I did not have pleasant morning! I didn't feel well all morning, but after I worked out, I felt pretty good. Now, I can drink more!! Well, not really.

Melissa called me in the morning to see if I wanted to go shopping with her in the afternoon. Of course, I am 24/7 ready to go shopping, so we were checking stuff around our area. It was really fun because the weather was so nice. After we shopped (we didnt buy anything!), we went to Heather's house because she was having dinner party. I was almost knocked down from all girls' energy, but I managed to survive and could have lots of fun!

Oi! I really think U.S. shouldn't go to the war since UN isn't supporting the U.S. It kinda pisses me off that the U.S. even didn't try to pass new resolution today! Bush gotta think why UN was established after WWII. I just don't understand why the U.S. has to go to the war. Well, I guess I kinda understand, but I don't think it's worth to go to the war without other countries' support. War sucks!

Oi!! Crank Yankers is funny mate!

Oi! So, I guess the war has begun. Suuuucks. I really wish no one will die from the this war, but I guess that's very unrealistic wish! When I was watching MSNBC today, I noticed that they had "deadline timer" on the corner of every news show. I though it was very disturbing and pretty stupid! The war is not like new years countdown!

I have so many things I wanna buy when I go back to Japan in this summer. I wanna buy lots of video games, of course, new digital camera, new MD walkman & recorder, and if I still have money, I wanna buy clothes too!! I am thinking to get a part time job, so I can buy these stuff & maybe pay some money back to my dad. Well, I am sure I am not gonna give money to my dad, but at least I am thinking about it, that's good enough.

Oooooh, by the way, new southpark wasn't that great.... Oi!

Oi!! I got Gameboy Advance SP today! Yaaaaay!! Well, actually, Matt got it first!! He called me and told me he got it at Bestbuy. I was in Evanston when he called me, so I went to Bestbuy at Skokie. Aaaaand, I could get it there!! I wanted to buy Pokemon, but I already order it online and has been shipped, so I couldn't cancel it!! Mmmm, I need to wait couple days to get my Pokemon!! I am so happy like a mug!!

Ugh. I wasn't really happy yesterday. I went to the gym in the morning, but I almost cried at the gym when I was doing dead lift! I have been working out so hard, but I don't see any change in my body! I don't feel I am building muscle at all even though I spend lots of time at the gym! I felt soooo stupid and hopeless....ugh! After I came back from the gym, I went to SaksFifthAvenue in downtown. I ordered skin toner and cleanser there in couple weeks ago, but I haven't got them yet, so I wanted to know what's up with my order. The sales lady I talked to wasn't nice to me at all! I just wanted to know about my order, but she kept asking me if I remember who I talked to. She told me she cannot track my order because she wasn't the one took my order! I was pissed off like a mug!! I almost said to her "what do you mean you cannot track my order bitch!" But, since I am a gentle man, I didn't say that. While I was battling with this bitch, Priyada left a message in my cell phone saying she couldn't hang out with me in that evening because she agreed with working over hours! I was looking forward to hang out with her because we haven't really done anything together for a long time! Daaaaaaamnit! Before I went back to Lincoln Park, I stopped by at CompUSA to see if I could find ear plug adaptor for my GBASP. But, they didn't have it! I was trying to cheer myself up thinking about how wonderful my GBASP is, but when I saw the note at my apt's entrance from the UPS saying I missed the box from SaksFifthAveneue, I was knocked down and almost fell down on the ground! Although I was super sad geek, I did go out last night cos Matt called me and asked me I wanna come out to the bar. It was fun, but I realized that I am nothing like people were there which made me more depressed... Suuuuuuuuuuuuux!!

Isn't it supposed to be about what I did today?? Well, I did go to the gym, and more depressed, didn't take enough protein, and kept playing Golden Sun.

My pokemon is not here yet!! I ordered pokemon sapphire from bestbuy.com last week. I was thinking I am getting it today, but I was dead wrong!! I really need to start playing it since Matt has started playing his ruby version! Gotta catch 'em all!!!

Today was super warm day. I think it was over 70's. Craziness. Because of this nice weather, my eyes were so itchy like a mug all day today. I hate spring because my allergy gets worse.

I did get the orders from SaksFifthAvenue. Maaan, it took 2 weeks to get here from downtown!! But, there were lots of extra stuff beside skin toner and cleanser which I originally ordered. They even sent me a pouch which is pink.... I suppose I could put some makeup in there, but since I don't wear makeup, I think I am gonna just give it to Priyada or Melissa.... I just don't get why the lady took my order put shaving cream samples and pink pouch together, then shipped to the customer whose name is ken!!

Oi! I am super happy today because I have been admitted to the school counseling program at Loyola University Chicago! Yappieeee!! Since Loyola was my first choice, I am just happy like a mug. I even called my parents to tell them about it at 4am in the morning (of course, japanese time)! My parents sounded a little bit annoyed, but they were happy too!! Yay! Now, I get to go to the school I want to go and also I am able to keep living in Chicago! Yaaaaay!!! My life isn't that bad after all!!

I was playing pokemon all day yesterday. Aaaaah, gotta catch 'em all! The game is pretty much same as old one, but since new pokemon is for GBA, it has much much better graphics and stuff. Aaaaah, gotta catch 'em all!

Pokemon Pokemon POKEMOOOON!!! Where the hell is Pikachu??

I didn't play pokemon that much today! I was playing it in this morning, but Matt called me and asked me if I wanted to go to Public i. Of course, I like Public i, we did go there together. I wasn't planning to buy anything there, but Melissa pulled out cool shirt......., so I had to buy it..... Damnit! I am super weak person when it comes to cool clothes. After we left shop, we went to the arcade at Northbrook to play DDR. There was some kinda tournament was going on and so many people were there! So we really couldn't play as much as we wanted. But, I could play DDR, so I was happy! When we were driving back to the town, we passed Loyola Univeristy. Yay! That's my school!!

I have been trying to figure out when is the best time to go back to Japan. I think it's gonna take couple weeks to get I-20 form from Loyola, but after that, I can go back to Japan. So, I guess I can go back to Japan in the end of April. I also will finish my training program in the end of April, so sounds like the end of April or the beginning of May is good time to go back to Japan. But, I really want to finish watching all 3rd season's episodes of Six Feet Under. So, maybe I should stay until the end of May. But but, my parents are super rushing me to go back to Japan, so I don't know if I can convince them how important for me to finish watching Six Feet Under. Mmmmm. Life isn't easy.
