dumpster diving in JP

Today I had a great day.
Wakana spent the night.
In the morning we took a walk to Kichijoji station, and walked through inokashira park.
When we got to the station we dumpstered some cardboard to make the bed that i sleep on thicker, because only one piece of cardboard was kinda hard.

We carried the cardboard, and i also dumpstered some disposable chopsticks that are ubiquitous in japan. I took all those back to my apartment, then eventually me and wakana went to ICU (the shcool). She had class, while i signed up for a soccer team with some old friends, played frisbee, and then played catch-ball (throwing a baseball back and 4th). Then I lifted weights, stretched, and did yoga in the ICU gym. After that me and wakana laid in the grass and talked about life and death. Then i took a shower in ICU sports club house, then went to juggling club with wakana. At the same time as juggling club is badminton, and futsal club. So I skipped off from juggling for an hour and playhed futsal, and badminton. Then I escorted wakana to the bus home. Then I went back and played more badminton, then took shower, and rode bike with badminton club to near the train station where we have "nomikai" which is drinking and eating with club-mates. I drank some table dived-bear, and rice and tofu. I rode my dumpstered bike home, and on the way home saw a desk and chair and carpet in a "dumster". I then went back to the dumpster, and turned the desk upside down, put it on top of the rolly-chair, then put the carpet on top of that, and pushed this the aproximately 3km (or 2 miles) home, which took me about an hour. It was kinda loud and ppl looked at me strange, and right outside my apartment is a police station (koban) but i waited till there was no cop looking and pushed it home. I live on the 4th floor so i carried the desk up to the 4th floor, put it in my room (not before the carpet) then went down and got the chair.

Now I am typing this on my borrowed wireless, on my dumpstered desk, sitting in a dumpstered chair on top of dumpstered carpet, still feeling a slight buzz from table dived beer.

I'm gonna do some yoga and go to bed.

Tomorrow I am running 10km, buying organic fruit, and dumpstering more.




This is my room, you can see the window, and i have clothes drying outside.
3 pieces of cardboard, then on top of that i folded a piece of carpet in half to make the bed.
And a blanket that wakana lent me.


The desk, and chair. On top of it i smy laptop, and some mikan oranges.
Also the carpet is dumpstered obviously.
