yokohama baaaaay staaaaaaaazu
Ugh, I just spent the last 3 hours involved in Mariners blogosphere drama. It's my fault for opening my mouth, but still... I miss people, but I'm also kinda glad to be out of that all.
As for today... went down to Kamakura to meet up with Jay again. We got Indian food for lunch. I had chicken tikka masala and it was terrible. :(
Krispy came down a bit after that, and the three of us went to Tsuruoka Hachimangu, the big temple that Carl and I tried to go to on New Year's and failed due to big crowds of people. This time there weren't really crowds. It was okay, I guess, it's a nice enough temple. I got a bad omikuji though :(
Afterwards, they were going to the daibutsu and maybe geohashing, and I went to Yokohama Stadium and saw the Baystars BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF THE SEIBU LIONS WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. It was really, really satisfying. I sat in the outfield and yelled and sang with everyone around me; it took a wihle for my surrounding people to warm up to having a gaijin in the midst but by the end it was pretty cool, and people shook my hand and said goodbye and otsukaresama when the game ended. I'm sure the Baystars winning had a lot to do with that -- when you're high-fiving everyone around you whenever they score a run, it makes a big difference. There were two obnoxious teenage or early-20's guys a few rows behind me who spent the entire game yelling "Kimochiiiii! GG Sato!!!" which was really fucking annoying and I don't know why anyone else didn't yell at them, but whatever.
I learned a bunch of new songs (I even bugged the ouendan for lyrics sheets), which was kinda the point, so that is good.
Shuuichi Murata almost hit a home run out of the park, which was hilarious, and Yoshimura hit a home run that landed about 3 meters away from me! one row ahead and about 5 seats over. Seriously!
Murata was a game hero, along with Mike Wood. Oh yeah, and Yuya Ishii finished out the game, that was cool. Takuro Ishii might have gotten injured though, so that is bad. And Kazuhisa Ishii started for the Lions. Lots of Ishiis (Yoshihito Ishii also pinch-hit at a point).
After the game I bought a ticket holder thingy -- I'm gonna put all of my pinbadges on it. I also got 3 new badges -- Yoshimura, Ohya, and... Koike. Hahaha. Does that count as Chunichi goods now?
Got a seat on the Keihintohoku line right from Kannai and just sat there for 80 minutes for the train ride home. Whee.
I didn't do laundry at all this weekend, whoops. Going to need to find a time to do it...
Oh, and this morning I got international mail. Postcard from Llyne from Europe, and then a box from Carl that had jeans and some mail from Seattle, including my driver's license. Yay. Not that I really need it here but I like to have the ID card, I guess.
