Sleep
Last night I got home at 7pm, went to sleep at 8pm, woke up this morning at 8am. I suppose I needed the sleep.
Yesterday I went to a baseball game at the Tokyo Dome. I didn't even have a working pen, so I couldn't keep score. I sat in the middle of the Baystars cheering section, and they got shut out by the Giants 3-0, so nobody even talked to me. That was super-unfun. I mean, as unfun as it can be to be at a baseball game, at least... I enjoyed being there, and singing and cheering, and learning some new songs and all, but I hate the Giants and I hate seeing them win, so it was grumpy in that aspect.
After the game, I met up with Kirstin and Sam again, and Sam dragged us halfway around Shinagawa, first to a Kura Sushi (it really is Kura, he wasn't making that up) that had a 2-hour wait, and then to a little Ramen Town on the other side, where I said "let's go to that one called Saijo, it's from Asahikawa". So we had Hokkaido style ramen, which was good.
I wish I could say I caught up with Kirstin, but every time I tried to ask her about her work, Sam started talking about random other unrelated things. It does sound very exciting though, she was off to Ichinomiya (the one between Gifu and Nagoya) to go see some factories there. I'm all like "can I come with you to Nagoya??"
As for today, I don't have a plan, but I am going to go find a travel agent and book a trip to Fukuoka. I was thinking I would go to the plaza in Akabane, but I think I could actually do it here, maybe even in the Diamond City mall. I looked up the hotel that all the ads recommended as the cheapest place, and it looks reasonable, so I think I will go for that. I was also debating getting a haircut, but I actually don't know how much it'll help. The problem with my hair is that it is frizzy more than anything... I suppose I could get it straightened. I dunno if that'd help either, though.
Also I am grumpy because my Kyushu plan involved going to Nagasaki for a baseball game except that now the retarded league moved the game from Nagasaki to Sasebo and now I'm not sure it's worth it. Well... I mean, basically, the game is at 6pm and I would have to leave at like 8:15pm to get the last train back to Fukuoka. On the other hand if I go to Sasebo I can see the Kenji Johjima museum. Hmmmm.
