yay yakiniku
It's the weekend!
It's raining!
Friday was a pretty busy day -- I had a 2pm, 3pm, and 8pm class added to my schedule, so rather than being only 3 classes and spending the whole day preparing for my Saturday stuff, I ended up spending the whole day trying to catch up with my Friday stuff. Still got lunch at Heiroku though, and stopped by Daiei and picked up a MOTHERLODE of Mentos -- in banana, melon, mint, strawberry, etc flavors. Wheeeeee. Stopped in the arcade after work to play some Pop'n, and then came home and realized oh crap I had even more stuff to get done here, plus it was going to be an early morning on Saturday. Oops.
Got like 5 hours of sleep and went to work Saturday! Joy. Had to drink a ton of coffee this morning.
Another super-full day on Saturday, 7 classes. Ended up eating two small lunches -- at 11am and at 4pm, and then after work I met up with Pau at Nippori station and we went off through the rain to Yakiniku Erika!
Erika is the restaurant owned by Fighters centerfielder Hichori Morimoto's parents, and it is FULL OF FIGHTERS STUFF and pretty awesome. And naturally they were watching the Dragons-Giants game! We arrived in the 6th or 7th inning, I forget exactly -- in time to see Delarosa's home run tie the game, but also in time to see the Giants pull ahead and have Kroon slam the door. Grumble. But getting to see some of the new Fighters stuff up around the restaurant was cool. I don't remember them having the Yukio Tanaka 2000 hits poster there last time. It is pretty freaking awesome.
I gave Morimoto-san the origami Hichori hat from the 5/4 game, though he already had one there :( and also the Fan Board from the 5/3 game. I explained I went to Sapporo for Golden Week and am a big Fighters fan and big Hichori fan. He seemed amused by it so I guess that was ok. But I felt like a pretty big dork. I AM a pretty big dork. I actually don't think they remembered me from the last times I'd been there, back in the fall, which is either good or bad, I dunno.
Pau and I ate a bunch of yakiniku for dinner and then hung out for a while talking. He's doing a TON of insane stuff this semester so it seems unlikely I can drag him to a lot of games, though we'll try to go to a Hanshin one sometime just so I can get some mileage out of my old Imaoka jersey or something.
And tomorrow I go to the Dragons-Giants game at the Tokyo Dome! Kattobase Morino! Yomiuri taose yo!
