The 21st

At 8:00 A.M. I woke up. I got an email from Aya at the same time as my alarm. After that I took a shower. I was thinking about "Paprika", the movie we watched last night. Its only two hours long, but we couldn't finish it, even after the second time we tried to watch it.

At 9:15 I was at the station. I had to go to my job at the cafe'. It takes 10 minutes from the station on foot. I was holding my camera turned on because last week I saw a man who flashed me. So, I was hoping to get his picture.

I had to work until 11 pm. At 10 o' clock a couple came to the cafe'. They are getting married in December. We talked until 11:30, standing up . The man was an editor of a TV drama that I like. This drama is about a form of Japanese comedy called "Rakugo" . Rakugo is when a person sits on a stage and tells a funny story. He told me that a long time ago people used to watch it live for only 100 yen, whereas now it might be about 2000 yen. Many young people today are interested in Rakugo because of this man's TV show. Another kind of live performance is a paper cutting show and at the same time they sing a song. Its called "Kamikirimeijin" . The cutouts look realistic and they don't use a drawing, just scissors and paper. I really want to see this show. Some people cry when they see it.

At 12 I finally went home. I called my boyfriend. He is teaching a kid's class at my cafe'. We were talking about it. Then I went to sleep.
