It is apparently supposed to snow all weekend around here, although I doubt much of it will stick. My students told me that I should not ride my bicycle and get hit by a truck again. I would have felt better about this if it was going to snow on SATURDAY and thus the Matsuzaka-Kinchan baseball game in Yokohama would get snowed out, except no, it's supposed to be nice tomorrow and snow Sunday. I guess I can just feel better about not sitting outside in 40-degree weather watching baseball instead.
I actually have no plans at all for this weekend. If it really is this bloody cold/snowy, it wouldn't be the worst idea to just stay home and file baseball cards and crop Matsui museum pictures and watch doramas and write stuff and whatnot, but I think I would go insane being completely alone all day. At least if I go shopping or something, there'll be other people around, even if none of them will talk to the crazy gaijin. I did have this vague idea that it'd be funny to just go hop on a train and... just... go. Where, I don't know, exactly, but if I don't actually EXIT the stations, I don't have to pay, right? So if I could just stay on non-special JR, I could theoretically go pretty fucking far out of Tokyo, never actually leave any stations, and then just get on a train and come back home. Of course, one might ask exactly what the hell the point of such a thing would be, and I'm not sure I'd have an answer for them. "I went to have lunch in a train station in Ibaraki Prefecture, and dinner in a train station in Gunma Prefecture" sounds pretty stupid. But does it sound any more or less stupid than "I went barnstorming around Kanto looking for baseball card shops and ended up on an island"?
(Now I am kind of wondering, though, if I entered Warabi station with my suica at like, 12pm, and exited Warabi station at 6pm with my suica, would it just go "Ah, you've been hanging out in the station for 6 hours" and not charge me anything? Maybe if nothing else, finding out the answer to that is a good enough reason to Boldly Go to Train Stations where I have not gone before.)
( As for today, it was just a normal, if sad, day at work. )
