Chestnuts keep falling on my head. And rain, lots of rain. Had a nice dinner with a former teacher/colleague of Yoshie's and a masters student of his. Most of the talk that I could understand was comparing Japanese, Canadian and British lifestyles. Browsed some bookstores on Oxford Street and then took the tube home after not finding what I wanted. Now I gotta psyche myself up for another round of "Motivate the Movers." I'm not cut out for this, passive aggression just doesn't work over the phone.
