magicbeans. nothing if not awkward.

back to providence. didn't even know i was gone, did you? drove home yesterday to switch cars with sam (i drove the van to providence on tuesday) and pick up some more of my stuff. and then back again today.

dinner with shannon and some of her friends, our new roommate naoko and the other japanese exchange student from her school, yuko. then sitting around and talking back at our place and talk of going to a johnson and wales frat party, but i was much more intrigued by the japanese tv show we were watching on video. a couple is set up on a blind date and then continue to meet for exactly one hour every day for twenty-four days. at the end of the twenty-four days (and hours) they have to decided, individually, whether the want to stay together or take a cash consolation prize. he had been swinging towards the money until the last couple of days, she had waffled a bit. in the end he turned down the cash and showed up, she didn't. sad.
