Ready to go back to school...

The weather in Tokyo during August is nightmarishly horrible. Intense heat and intense humidity. Showering is basically pointless due to the fact that you'll be soaking wet again within a matter of minutes. Airconditioning helps, but sometimes has trouble defeating the heat. I've awakened sweating even with the AC on full blast. Once I get heated up, nothing cools me down quickly, as evidenced by the gallons of sweat following my walk/workout today, even after the shower.

Tomorrow is my last day of vacation. I'm going to spend it at the beach with some friends. I don't have much money left for this month, and it's expensive to get there, but I have to find enjoyment where I can right at the moment. I need it.

My new track is coming along well, but it is largely a process of trial and error; listening a lot to new changes and tweaks before deciding whether or not I want to keep them or tweak further. I wouldn't call it frustrating, really, but it's definitely extremely time consuming. I wish there was a way to speed it up, but maybe that just comes with more practice.

The story.

I'm going to keep this short and sweet. Jun and I broke up last weekend. We had very, very different styles of communication, especially during times of anger or high stress, and we just couldn't make it work any more. It was a great ride...I don't have any hard feelings or regrets, but it was time. All good things come to an end, sooner or later, and bad ones too, for that matter. Our relationship had a fair amount of both, but, in the end, the good just couldn't compete with the bad any more.

I'm on vacation...I'll be keeping myself busy and distracted with my music. I have a track that's coming along. If anyone wants to call, I'd love to hear from you.
