Today I went back for a third shooting of Zettai Kareshi, and it was cold. But what the hell, I'll get paid, and I'll probably be seen pretty well in the picture too. But it sure wasn't easy standing there extremely still, pretending to be a deactivated robot, when you really wanted nothing but running back inside to sit a few more minutes leaned over that wonderful heater they had there.
On the way back I discovered the first McDonalds ever that wouldn't take plastic. This country is truly ridiculous when it comes to that. The second largest economy in the world - and not even Seven Eleven will take your Visa or MasterCard? And now a McDonalds!? Come on! No, what this country needs is a major card revolution. Unfortunately, that's not going to happen anytime soon.
I am going to get a bank account tomorrow, I think. About time, you may say, but I haven't actually had that much use of one until now. Of course, had I opened one up when I first got here and transfered all my funds to it, I would not have been affected by the global currency crash. But as they say, hindsight is a bitch. There was no way I could have known.
Now, however, as I hope to get more and more modelling and acting jobs - which of course I will - a greater need for a Japanese bank account has appeared. I was contacted yesterday about the payment for the first job I did, which can be picked up at the office of my agency any day now. But having them transfer the amount to my account would save me the trip - which is time and money both. So after school tomorrow, I will go to Shinjuku to open a bank account.
In the meantime, do wish me luck (1) getting the fashion show job I am currently awaiting an answer about, (2) receiving ever more calls about jobs from my agencies this coming month, and (3) winning Drömvinsten on Lotto.
