Tuesday
Went to the Tokyo Dome after school for the Rakuten-Lotte game. I still have no idea why it was so crowded, but all the unreserved seats sold out and mostly filled. Me, I got a ticket in the 2nd row behind the Lotte dugout and could see into it. I almost yelled out hello to coach Kenji Morozumi, but couldn't decide if it would be worse if he did or didn't recognize me, so I didn't say anything. Craziness. The girl sitting next to me was a huge Karakawa fan, but Karakawa got shelled by the Eagles including a 2-run homerun by Norihiro Nakamura (WTF), and the Eagles won 8-2.
Randy Johnson threw out the ceremonial first pitch (I have some photos up on Marinerds). The other crazy moment was seeing the prospective pitchers for tomorrow -- Kenji Tomura is going to start for Rakuten! I used to watch him at Rikkio University all the time, this is his ichi-gun debut. CRAZY. But the game is in Koriyama, which is way too far away to go after school. Sigh... I would watch on TV but...
...I think tonight I will go see the Nodame movie, and then Friday night go see Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac before it leaves the theater. (it is only showing late show, so that is 1200 yen whenever I see it, as opposed to Nodame, which I would prefer to see normal show for 1000 yen tonight; if I don't see it tonight I won't have another Wednesday here to see it until May 12, not sure I want to wait that long).
Then on Saturday and Sunday I am going to Sendai with my friends. Well, or at least, I have a train ticket TO Sendai and baseball tickets for two days. What I do not have is a ticket back or a hotel reservation; I will do the latter tonight but the ticket back may wait until I am there. Hopefully it won't be a problem.
Between those, and Thursday being Japanese class, it is going to be a pretty busy few days for me, and next Wednesday I fly out to Seattle.
It is funny how things work out -- I have, indeed, been too busy to miss Mike lately. I dunno if that is a good or bad thing.
