got a 360. 　at first the internet broke and i spent a good part of the day trying to fix it. eventually went to the local apartment-offices and got a number. they sent three people out for repairs. The problem was simply a broken tip on the lan chord. So, 3 minutes later my computer was up and right away the xbox is capable of online gaming.

so, spent most of the weekend playing games. Bought Left 4 Dead, a classic. Still working on the final chapter on expert. left 4 dead 2 is released soon but i'm not sure how it will arrive in japan. also bought ビューティフル塊魂。(beautiful clump spirit).

wanted a game outside of sports and shooters, somewhat hard to find. basically you start as a small rolling ball and collect bigger and bigger items as you grow and eventually collect things the size as buildings. Its a japanese produced game and all of the items you pick up are real japanese items so its fun to see all the digitalized little pieces in high def.


anyway. also running. next friday is the school's road race. I'm not sure if its open to the public or not, maybe not, but all the students will be running, and a few teachers as well. its 19 km, about 11.5 miles. its not that far. my goal is to keep a steady jogging pace the whole way. Ive been running once or twice a week, but only running about 5 times until next week. did 10 miles 2 days ago. i think i'll be alright as long as my legs have time to heal on thurs.
