Lotte dumping and Indiana Jones and whatnot
I'm really dead tired and zonking out fairly soon.
Today I went to the Seibu Dome to see the Lotte-Seibu baseball game. The bad side is that it was a horribly rainy day outside and there was a lot of confusion for my situation before the game, wandering around the dome. Also, the Marines lost 9-5 after Hiroyuki Kobayashi had one really awful inning and just melted down.
The good side is that I eventually did get in for free once Larry finally got there and found me, and I met a guy who works in the Seibu front office who was really nice and said to let him know when I want to come back to the Seibu Dome and he'll sneak me in. Oh yeah, and where we were sitting, we were next to Julio Zuleta's girlfriend, and a few rows behind Bobby Valentine's wife, who came to talk to us for a while. I went to get lunch with Julio's girlfriend, and we talked a bit during the game, but I wasn't really sure what to say to her exactly, I think I'm too big a nerd.
After the game I had some train confusion and eventually got to Seibu Shinjuku station and met up with Shinsuke, and we wandered around Shinjuku a bit, and got dinner at Wendy's, and then went back to the Wald theater or whatever it's called, and we saw Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull or whatever it's called exactly. I liked it, I thought it was really fun, and since I hadn't read any reviews I was really surprised to see one particular main character, not Indy, but someone else from the Raiders movie. Hard to believe that was 27 years ago now. Harrison Ford really can still pull off the Indy role though, which is really impressive given that he is 64 now, 5 years older than Sean Connery was as his father when they filmed Last Crusade. There were some big gaping plotholes in this movie, which Shin cared about a lot more than I did, I think.
And then I came home. Very tired.
