I managed to get a connection in the building we use for our classes, so I can post sooner than I thought I would have been able. I managed to eat a lot yesterday, although not much of it was what I would consider good. The party had free food, ranging from sushi (which I did not like) to strawberry cake (which I did, and was able to check off the third item from my list). Today we went to a bakery, and I found the first Japanese food that I genuinely like. Japanese bread is very good. Wish I had more good news to give.
Towards the end of the party, I wanted to take a picture with a couple of girls I spoke with (Yuhki and Yukie are the rough pronunciations, but I can't spell them in their original form), and dropped the camera I was using. The digital camera that I got my mother for Mother's Day and she entrusted me with. It broke. Fortunately, it has some functionality left, and I could get the pictures off of it.
Strangely, it partially fixed itself overnight. The lens will retract more than it would, and the corners are no longer covered in black, like they were last night. I still have to buy a new one. A photographer I made friends with last night said that there's a Circuit City near Machida Station, which is only one stop away. I'll have the chance to go take care of that on Sunday.
The camera doesn't seem to be able to decide how it is broken, as it has changed twice. The lens retracts fully now, but the zoom won't go out all the way, and if I try to make it zoom out further the lens will retract and the camera turn off. I've hypothesized that the reason the camera was no longer being made when I bought it was an attempt to keep self-repair technology out of the public's hands.
This post was typed up over several class breaks, spaced out over many hours. Now I'll try to figure out how to upload photos to this site.
