Blog return

Oops...Looks like I have put no use to this blog thus far. Let me explain myself though! Being in Japan I had two choices: sit in the hotel and blog or be out in that freaking country and experience every second that I possibly could. Naturally, I chose the latter. THEN, upon the day of our return I told Michael that I was feeling sort of ill and that I believe I was going to get sick (boy was that an understatement). During the extensive 11 hour plane ride, next to an annoying ex-teacher that complained to the lady to the left of him about how the students teased him and called him monkey behind his back and made hooting monkey noises at him, I progressively got worse and was suffering from insomnia. THEN we reach Portland, delirious and drunk with a buzzing yearning for the country we left and the country we just arrived in, we decided to eat breakfast at the Rogue restaurant in the airport...mmm-twas good. We met an amazing professor named Michael whom teaches at Guam and a morning chitchat morphed into a 3 hour dialogue. We make it back home and managed to stay awake for several more hours entertaining Shirley, Michael's mom, about our trip and thanking her for the "remodeling" she has done. The next morning was real hell. I woke up emitting a deep growl from my chest that some would call a "cough", oozing orifices, aches and pains and the whole lot of badness. Michael saw how shitty I was feeling and decided to leave me alone about searching for a job (which recently has resumed) and I went to bed. Strangely and awkwardly, I slept and slept and the next thing I know I wake up and it's Friday. Imagine my concern: I went to bed one day and it was Wednesday and I wake up the next day and it's Friday...phew-I was sick. I have been strongly battling this Godforsaken Jap illness ever since...even this minute I just took a moment to blow my nose. Not to mention the insomnia isn't helping...what the bloody hell is up with that? You'd think I would've written a while back since it isn't like I'm sleeping-but I just lay in bed praying that eventually the sleepy sheeps will come and make my head go dead.

So that was the long version of an excuse as to why I haven't posted anything since Japan. I was sick and worn out. Oh, and I've been filming since Monday as well-so hmph!
