Approximately Seven Million Festivals Later

i'm still not done with summer and the festivals keep coming. so far i've gone to... at least five? seven? lots? not sure. the last one was about slugs, which did not make an appearance, and buddhist monks, which also did not make an appearance, and nothing to do with tv crews even though they showed up anyway.

two more weeks until work starts up again. i'm actually looking forward to seeing my students, although i'm not looking forward to wearing unnecessarily hot clothing and standing around like an idiot. in the meantime, i've got EVEN MORE festivals to go to... there's a couple in nagoya and one of them is a mandatory-attendance type thing because my friend is dancing in it.

honestly, even if she wasn't, i'd probably go anyway. she's just a convenient excuse to watch people dance and wear interesting outfits and generally cause some trouble in a publicly acceptable fashion.

today i'm heading out to lunch with one of the teachers from work, and then... something? and then i have taiko practice! first practice ever. i have high hopes that this will be a better fit for me temperamentally than kyuudo was. being very serious and standing very still and posing until it was time to shoot arrows was extremely cool, but i'm neither serious nor cool. maybe jumping around and making a lot of noise will agree with me.

art-wise, i've got another couple of people who are looking for tattoo designs so i'm gonna try and get that done soon. i wish i had some studio space... it's hard to keep focused in a one room apartment that contains all your stuff.
