That was the longest match I've ever played and I still lost. I'm annoyed, but not as upset with this outcome as I was with the French Open. Journalists can stop saying my endurance is an issue. I'm pretty sure I proved them wrong with this tournament. Three hours average in these conditions is decent.

I met with a boxing instructor yesterday afternoon to get out some frustration. Yanagi is the absolute best for setting it up. I feel a lot better after the session. I might have to make it a regular thing.

We'll be home tomorrow, so you can come around to my place any time on Monday to get souvenirs.

(ooc: if your character wants a souvenir, you can just make up something random that yuki got for you)

I've tried out boxing myself. Isn't it great for that? I'd be happy to go again if you wanted someone to come along.

You played great. I've seen nothing but great coverage personally, so I think you'll be pleasantly surprised when you come home.

It looks like Yanagi is going to find a gym. Kickboxing is also tempting. A sparring partner would be nice, if you're up for it.

I try not to read/watch too much of the coverage, but I should gather a few articles to give to my parents.

Sure. I'm game for anything. I've heard great things about kickboxing.

I'm sure that they would enjoy it very much. Though, I wouldn't be surprised if they look up stuff themselves. My parents are always finding articles about Toudai's tennis team that I didn't know where floating out there.

Once I know the details, I can let you know.

They likely do, but there are some things that only I can get for them. (*^▽^*)

[saypassion]

Lovely. I'll look forward to it.

You do have a point there. I can only imagine that you're frequently published in foreign publications, as well. Perhaps they would enjoy a few of those.

I did get a couple while I was in New York that I thought they would like. My mom likes to see the photos printed.

[saypassion]

That's great. Does she frame them?

[gtl_yukimura]

Scrapbook. Takes up less wall space.

[saypassion]

I was going to say, surely she has run out of wall space by now. But I can only imagine the number of scrapbooks she has given the success of your career. :)

Between the art, my tennis career, and my sister's volleyball accomplishments, there's little room left.

It's a good feeling, I'm sure. Your parents must be very proud.
