Although we had perfect sunny weather for the two practice days, the first day of the festival dawned rainy and gray.
And, because this is really all about me, I will say that the combination of the conditioner from the hair dye and the humidity from the rain made my hair defy gravity like some ( random anime chick )
In other news, I polished off the stack of "must read" Japanese novels demanding my attention and turned to some of the English ones my parents brought for me that I had been saving. I have to say, learning a foreign language kinda takes some of the fun out of reading fantasy books with made-up words in them. For example...
Character: "Would you like a cup of sumi?"
Me: You're offering your guests ink?!
Plus the characters were exclaiming "Hai!" all the time, and it messed with my head because it didn't mean "yes."
