Friday -- I am 130 centimeters old

Hmm, seems like I last updated on Thursday night, eh... I think that was the day I just came home and ate instant noodles and tried to go to sleep at a reasonable hour.

Friday was Sachi's last day of work at GEOS. She took me to the post office bank to start an account, and I screwed up some writing stuff so it took like 40 minutes to do, but oh well. Lots of people came by to say goodbye to her, and many people brought in more sweets (seriously, all week people were bringing by cakes and cookies and candy for her. Apparently quitting your job is like having a birthday.)

Saturday -- too many gaijin

Saturday I had my normal classes during the day and then in the evening I hung out with guitarcries, who was in town over the weekend before flying back to America after finishing up her two years at GEOS. The only problem is that ALL DAY I kept having these mental lapses and forgetting crap, I swear. Like my cellphone. I found out that I can infact go home and come back with an hour break from class... but I really SHOULDN'T.

Sunday -- Yokohama on Ice

Sunday I went down to Yokohama for a baseball game, Baystars vs Giants. I went with a guy who I've known in the Mariners blogosphere for about 2-3 years whose handle is IcebreakerX (which means that gomezticator should at least know who I mean but I dunno if any other LJers will). He works down near there, and we were supposed to meet up at Kannai at 12:30, but he sent me a message saying he'd be 5-10 minutes late. I got there at 12:20 and went to the Baystars store and bought a Murata #25 t-shirt. (I mean, sure, I could get a Miura or a Saeki or a Takuro or whatever, but half the team is over 35 years old, if you know what I mean, and Murata's the best hitter period.) And then I waited around at the station... thinking, y'know, there are 40,000 Japanese people here and one gaijin, it can't be MY fault I can't find him...

Monday -- Laundry and other assorted stuff

Monday I woke up and did laundry. It took me around 5 hours. I think next time I am going to go find a laundry bag and go over to the laundromat rather than trying to do everything in my washer, because it's a royal pain in the ass, especially on a day like today where it's warm but not obnoxiously hot enough to dry everything quickly. Plus I'm wondering if using a dryer will save me some ironing and lint-rolling, maybe?

Inbetween loads of laundry I spent my time writing all of these LJ entries for the last few days. I also ran to the supermarket to get some food (yay! more moyashi soba!) and to the post office to send off a check to T-Mobile for my final phone bill in America, and... and now I think I am going to go off to do random crap for the evening, just so I can get out of the apartment for a few hours. Hopefully I'll be hitting an internet cafe so I can actually post all of this shit at some point, even though I am also supposed to get internet tomorrow.

( boring monday, whee )

In theory I will get internet installed at home tomorrow morning. Cross fingers!
