a weekend beckons, will I answer the call?

Today is an overcast day. I can hear lots of building and construction outside my window. Maybe their buidlnng me a new grocery store! More likely: a woman's clothes shopping mall. Even though there are a milion in the area, they can't seem to get enough. Had an all right week so far. Things seem to be looking up, now that Im kind of aware of what's going on with lessons and so on. I had a friend from England stop by, Joel. He's a nice guy who lives in Japan at the moment trying to make a living without spending all his money at the karaoke bars. He was able to meet no less than 5 Japanese people in one day. He told me that the seaweed here is really famous.
