Crummy Day

I was going to write a post about this weekend (we went to the Zoo), but at first I got to talk to James so I was too busy doing that to type it up. I was super happy after talking to him, but then he had to go to sleep and I tried to figure out a way to get my bittorrent to work. It worked just fine until a few days ago and now it won't work at all. I realized they blocked all the ports it and bitcomet use so I can't download anymore.

This has me super depressed. It's 1:30pm I've been here since 11am tinkering around and I just feel like nothing is working. All I want is more One Piece. I can't get it here because a) not subtitled and b) I don't have a Japanese DVD player so I couldn't watch them even if I bought them. I'll try and break the ice with Minami first to see if I can use her Limewire account (I know she has something like that she uses) to get some episodes. Or atleast try and get her or Okaasan to let me use bitcomet on their computer so I won't be on the computer, but my things will still be chugging along as they use it.

All I really want to do is snap at Okasan and demand internet in my own room. That was my top priority when I signed up for homestay and apparently Kansai doesn't give a rats you know what about this or a lot of things. I also really want to point out that internet is important enough that my own parents offered to help get it for me. I seriously doubt that I could navigate this conversation period with Okaasan, let alone get the point across without making her grumpy, which I can never tell or figure out how to fix anyway.

I guess it just boils down to me being tired, having a lot of work to do this week, not getting any email love, just wanting my stuff to work and being left out of the loop at home. I don't know how to fix most of that, but hey I'm going to go get something to eat and get my bike back from the park near the dorms. Then I'm going to ask the girls in the Seminar house if bittorrent works at their place. If it does, I'll just plug in my computer and leave it over there for a few days (if they don't mind). Also I'm going to get in touch with Josh and Barnes to see if I can get any good wifi spots.
