Fun day, hot day, etc
Today:
Woke up at 7am or so; got showered and dressed and left the apartment around 8:10, getting to the Tokyo Dome at 9:03, mostly because I had not anticipated the station change at Oji to actually involve exiting the JR station and walking down the street, around the corner, and through another subway station. When I got to the Dome it was already packed with people in line for... wait for it... a Kanjani 8 concert. No joke. Pretty funny to me at least.
Met up with Jesse and his coworker, and we went to a mumin-themed bakery and sat around for two hours talking. Fun stuff, I hope Jesse can come back to Japan sometime so we can hang out more.
I had to get home by noon in theory since my bags were being delivered between 12-2. I suspected they wouldnt show up exactly at noon but you know my luck, if I was ten minutes late then they would, you know? So I hustled back and with 5 minutes left took a TAXI to my place -- it cost 660 yen but I was actually able to give the guy directions there, AND I got home just before the time hit noon.
But my bags didn't show up until about 1:45pm. So oh well.
I actually spent those two hours reading through GEOS info packets though, all of the notes on my students that the previous teacher left for me, so it wasn't wasted time. Afterwards I unpacked bags some, and then I left to go to Chiba around 2:45pm, for a baseball game. That links to the entry about the game on Marinerds if you want to read it.
And actually, the game took up the rest of the day, I didn't get back to Warabi station until around 11, at which point I went to Tobu 24-hour grocery/departo and bought a power strip and some other stuff I need to go home and try out. Then I came here to the internet cafe, and now it is 1am and I still need to walk home argh. Good thing games are on Sundays that I can go to since I don't need to work the next day, though tomorrow I do need to meet my manager so we can go do paperwork like gaijin card registration and all.
Still, the Fighters lost but I had a good time at the game screaming my lungs out and singing. Japanese guys in their 50's love me, too -- one guy walked me to the stadium from the station, talking to me in English about baseball the whole way, and then I sat next to another pair of guys in the stadium and one of them kept buying me drinks since I was amusing him with my gaijinness. Good times. I still don't like chu-hai much, though.
And, Fighters! High socks Tsuboi! I am all happy. I love my Fighters.
