I really hope I'm not getting sick again... I've had a nasty cough since the weekend (much to Sarah's concern), and last night I began to worry that I was getting a bit high a temperature, so took a couple of whatever passes for Panadol in this country, and let myself sleep late, and haven't left my burrow all day. I will need to at least go up to Family Mart to get something for tea - unless... I'll see how hungry I get, but I might order a pizza, or something equally decadent. I did register for Pizza Hut's discount coupons on my phone, and thanks to a little creative license with the registering, they emailed me a 'birthday discount', a thousand yen off, if I order anything before my 'birthday', which, as far as Pizza Hut are concerned, is this weekend. It's very sad though - even with this discount its still going to cost me as much as three pizzas in Canberra. Oh well, I deserve a treat! Plus, it means I won't have to leave the building.
I reckon that's part of why I'm a little under the weather - I've been doing an awful lot of walking this last week since my bike went walkabout, and I'm not eating enough fruit to compensate. Do Pizza Hut offer side orders of fruit salad? Actually, looking at their menu (amazing the things you find when you clean your desk, isnt it?), they have "Corn Salad"... a bowl of corn kernels. Thats it.
Sigh.
Now, if only Family Mart had a fruit section, saving me the half an hour (each way) trip to the supermarket. Mind you, the supermarket has a habit of being very expensive...
I should start packing up the stuff in my room, I guess. My posters are already jumping off the walls in eager anticipation of leaving, and the occasional photo has done the same. I'm still undecided about luggage - Yusuke reminded me that I can get a courier to take my bags from my burrow direct to Narita airport, where I collect them and check in, but at $40 per bag, I might just send one and let the other follow me around to Osaka. Then there's the ANU stuff, which I must remember to try and find a storage place for in the Uni this week, then figure out some way of transporting it up there.
The big question remains - which pizza do I get? Potato, sticky-rice-paste, teriyaki chicken (with lettuce and mayonaisse), corn, tuna, or something a little more, shall we say, traditional?
[Edited to add, yes, the lettuce on the pizza is cooked. They put it on fresh, but then it all goes through that big pizza oven...]

please go with something more traditional...now, teriyaki chicken is dealable, but the need for lettuce and mayo? i worry... well, wait, is the lettuce cooked or still cold? not that it would make a huge difference anyway....
enjoy your splurge:)
Cooked.
