Today was a pretty good day. Thanks to it being a holiday, not only did I not have work, but other people didn't have work either. So I finally got to hang out with Shinsuke again, which was really awesome.
I'd emailed him yesterday and we made some vague plans, so he called me this morning and said "Let's meet at Ochanomizu around 1:30. Go to the exit where you transfer to the Chiyoda line." I was, of course, half-asleep, so I completely forgot where he said to go. I was worried since a few weeks ago I got totally messed up waiting for Jesse and Kat "by the Ochanomizu exit with the bridge", of which there are three, but this time, amazingly, I walked out of the station at a random exit and he was right there waving at me. That was good luck, I guess.
We chatted a bit about the Japan Series -- the last time I saw him was in September when we had gone to see the Giants-Dragons game, and Daisuke Yamai had started that game too, so we were like "can you believe that guy we saw threw most of a perfect game? WTF!"
Sadly, one problem with it being a holiday was that some shops and restaurants were ALSO closed. We walked down the hill to Jimbocho to get lunch, since Shin hangs out there often. He had all of these great ideas in mind for places to take me to, except naturally none of them were open. So we ended up at a place that said it had "Indian Curry", although the name of the restaurant was "Ethiopia". Their spice level scale goes from 0 to *70*. Shin got a 5. I got a 1. He told me, "Now you can say you've been to Ethiopia!"
( eh, this is a long entry and has a picture and such, so LJ-cut )
