Boredom

Okay, so I'm bored. I have been bored all week. Actually, I've been bored since I got internet at home. Surprising, right? You think I could spend hours and hours just doing random stuff on the internet, and I have. It's a complete waste of time. It's killing brain cells as we speak. Before I had internet at home, I had to be creative with how I communicated and how to spend my time at home. Now I find myself sitting on the floor of my living room waiting for someone to come online and talk to me. A sad existence if I do say so myself. It's not that I have more to do, I just sit and wait on the floor. Perhaps it was better when I didn't have internet, and I was less bored.

In other news, I found a "new" car yesterday. I'll put up pictures when it's actually mine and in the driveway. It's definitely not amazing, but it'll last me the time that I'm here and I (hopefully) won't have to worry about it blowing up every time I drive to town. Finding a "new" car this quickly and for the price I was asking is a blessing. I am blessed to have the car I have now, but I can rejoice in the fact that a "new" car is on its way!

So in celebration of my new purchase, my friends took me to this restaurant in Nijibetsu (a sub-town about 25km northeast). They said they only go on special occasions, such as their wedding anniversary. I was confused as to why we were going on a seemingly random Saturday, but they said buying a car was a big deal and that was reason enough to celebrate with a nice meal. This place is in the middle of nowhere (like everything else out here), but it was amazing. Amazing food, amazing service, amazing atmosphere. I think I've found my new hideout during the winter!
