It's my birthday (May 7th) in 2 hours here in Japan. Yikes.
For my birthday, I am going to celebrate by... GOING BACK TO WORK!!111!!1!!1
yay.
Uh, so anyway... yesterday, Monday, I went to the Seibu Dump for a Fighters game. Sat in the outfield with a bunch of random people and cheered for the Fighters and they freaking lost the game 8-6 after being up 6-0 in the 5th. I swear to god Toru Hosokawa has hit 3 career grand slams and I have been there for two of them, both against the Fighters. Sheesh. Also learned new chance music. Learning new songs is good.
Afterwards, went to Tokyo Dome, got a ticket to the Fighters-Giants game on 5/26. The sign said, "Visitor's cheering section seats are sold out", so I went up and said "I know the visitor's ouenseki are sold out, but is there anything available near it?" and she says, "How many tickets do you need?" and I said "Just one," and she said "oh, no problem then, we just don't have two seats together" and sold me a ticket for visitor's cheering seats. Apparently they aren't sold out if you are alone. Or something. And afterwards I got some baseball cards because I am a dork, and in 5 packs got TWO signature cards, Takahiro Arai and Kensuke Tanaka. Great pull there. Ate kaitensushi at the semi-expensive place across from Suidobashi station, and then came home.
Watched Ainori for the first time in like two months, but I think I only actually missed like two episodes, but everything changed! They're in Ghana now, and apparently Danny retired and got replaced with some weird dude named Kousuke. And Miya looks like someone gave him a makeover, it's kinda bizarre. At least I find myself not wanting to punch everyone on the show anymore.
Also, I did laundry in the morning AND in the evening on Monday, because my dinner plans got cancelled. I wish I'd known in advance so I could have planned to do laundry that evening, but oh well, that's the way things go.
Tuesday, which is today, I went to Yokohama, and met up with Westbay and his (9-year-old?) son for the Baystars game. It was sunny sunny sunny and I had sunscreen on but I think I got sunburned anyway. Also, for a rare change, the Baystars actually won the game, and I did my "Takuro Ishii's biggest fan" act like I would normally do for Morino at a Dragons game, and then Takuro hit in the go-ahead run and was game hero. Go figure. I bought a Ishii #5 jersey after the game, too, so now I can be even crazier.
I got dinner at Mos Burger with Westbay and his son after the game. Not exactly a big birthday party or anything, but that's ok. Also he gave me the "sine-cosine-tangent" board he got signed by Katsuya Nomura back in March, since this is the first time I'd seen him since then.
( The Signed Cosine Tangent )
So I guess that was a cool birthday present!
Ugh, now I can't decide if I should go try to find a family restaurant or something open past midnight and go eat cake at midnight... or if I should just try to go to sleep early.
