the2belo is in town for a business trip, so I hung out with him the last two nights after work. Yesterday we went to Denny's and sat around eating stuff for a while, and I pretty much went home around the time of last train.

Tonight we met up again in Akabane, and I had invited Sam along since I hadn't seen him in forever. He brought his new toy (a Nikon D3) and so when I got out of GEOS, he and Jeff were already standing there geeking out about cameras. I figured they might have plenty in common to geek out about, so that was good. Unfortunately, though, Jeff was coming down with a pretty bad cold -- probly something going around, I felt sniffly today and a lot of my students have been a little sniffly too. So we hung out for around an hour at a Chinese food place before Jeff just had to get going to pass out at his hotel. Still, it was neat to hang out for a bit.

I went shopping at Uniqlo a bit this afternoon. I intended to get some more shortsleeve t-shirt-like shirts, but instead ended up getting two dress-like shirts. I'm still not sure whether they look good on me or not, but they seem kind of in style, so maybe that'll help, who knows. I also got spaghetti for lunch at Dona. The lunch set is a crazy good deal (840 yen for my eggplant spaghetti plus a salad and a drink) and I should go there more.

Hrmm... I really need to do laundry since I didn't do it this weekend. I might have to see if I can rush home after work tomorrow and get it done then, maybe. If I can split the laundry up in the morning and get back here by 10:30-40pm, I would have time to throw it into the big machine at the laundromat. (It seems that my machine doesn't want to deal with jeans, basically.)

Also I installed ActivePerl on my laptop and am hacking perl for some baseball schedule stuff and it makes me happy even though I am writing messy code. Yay.

Ugh. On second thought perhaps I am a bit more than sniffly and might end up spending the next day or two with a cold. That sucks :(
