I'm headed home on the Nambu Line because I forgot to bring my books with me for my afternoon lessons. I have as many as 6 30 minute lessons over a 3 hour period, and I like to have my notebook to take notes. But realistically, I can just write notes on separate paper and transcribe it to the notebook later. Part of me wants to look prepared (more than "yeah I forgot my notebook again").

Benefits of going home:

• solid internet connection to join online I-group
• save money on lunch
• get to see my babychan (if she's home)
• nice and warm on the train instead of freezing my ass off outside
• get a bit more exercise walking from our station to the house (and back again)
• getting a chance to write in my journal on the way home (and the way back out, presumably)

Downsides of going home:

• might be late for I-group or 2pm lesson if train is delayed
• spend money on train (but not as much as on lunch)
• it's a little moe joe to go back and forth

Hmmm!

state of my life address

• I've staffed 3 [NWTAs](https://nwta.mkp.org/) for [Mankind Project](https://mkp.org/). Most recent two were in Perth, in October 2016 and October 2015.
• on 31 January, I presented Tokyo's first Head Heart and Soul presentation, as suggested by John Gaughan in Perth last year.
• 14 people in attendance and great supportive response
• There are 6 men in the Toyo I-group, including 3 men who have not yet attended NWTA.
• I expect the group to expand to as many as 9 men in the next month or two.
• I'd like to consider running circles on more nights, and possibly co-gender groups as well, to help introduce women in Tokyo to [Woman Within](https://www.womanwithin.org/)
• I've been invited to attend monthly I-group Council meetings, as the representative for Tokyo I-groups.
• Today is the first week I used Noisy to wake up for my Thursday morning lesson.
• I haven't (yet?) made an entry for Noisy in "Items" category of my wiki
• I've nearly finished my cage to keep Jennie off my desk which will soon have my marble track under construction.
• I plan to do a stop-action animation so it will look like little pipe-cleaner people made the track.
• I also plan to livestream the building of the track, which will take *ages*.
