Busy, busy, busy?
Thursday was kinda fun. Woke up and watched Koshien. Found out I could maybe see the Urawa Gakuin match since it'd be at 4pm, when my break is...
...but due to crazy earlier games, it didn't start until 6pm. Sheesh. At 5:30 I went out to get sushi dinner at Heiroku and maybe stop by Best Denki to see if Koshien was on TV, but it wasn't. Also, appliances are cheaper than I thought.
I was meeting up with Lisa around 6pm to trade some baseball stuff. We went to Mister Donut and exchanged weekend stories. I was like "I went to Sendai and yelled a lot!" and she was like "I went to the All-Star Game, and I went to Chiba and got to chat up Naruse and Ohmine!" She might come with me to a final game on Monday, before she leaves Japan for good on Tuesday, but we'll see.
And Urawa lost to Yokohama, anyway. I checked the score between my 7pm and 8pm class and it was 4-2, and then at 9pm we looked and it was 6-5. Doh.
After work, I met up with![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
the2belo, who was in Tokyo for a business meeting again.
This time we met at Okachimachi, as a search for the "halfway point" between Kawasaki and Warabi. Turns out it was like the BEST CALL EVER. Strangely, Akihabara has nothing open at 10-11pm, and Ueno also has a weird lack of stuff, BUT Okachimachi, between the two, had a ton of things. I had looked up an Anrakutei online, so we went there, and had lots of yakiniku, and I was happy. We will keep the area in mind for a reasonable halfway in the future, I think.
Today was Friday, anyway, and it's my free afternoon, so today I went down to Ikebukuro. I was originally going to see a movie but the timing got screwed up. Instead, I went to Mint to see if they had Bikkuriman pro yakyu stickers because I have 34 out of 36 and I am sick of wafers. Turns out they do! And they had a Darvish sticker, which is one of the 2 I needed! So I chatted with the store clerk and he's like "well, I'll trade you Darvish... for 3 stickers of yours and they have to be ones we don't have." I ended up giving him two Nishiguchis and a Murata for Darvish. Sadly they did not have GG Satoh. He said to come back some other time, you never know what people bring in. I ended up buying the Fighters 2008 non-insert card collated set, 99 cards for 1260 yen, seemed like a decent deal to me. Wish they had the Marines set, those are all my minor league boyfriends too.
I went to Wendy's for lunch for a change, and at the table next to me this teenage girl would NOT stop turning and staring at me as I was eating, which was disturbing. Her mother even told her to stop, but she didn't, so I finally turned to her and said in Japanese, "What, have you never seen a foreigner before?" Then I realized the girl was staring at me a little weird... the mother explained that she was brain damaged or something from a fever when she was young. Oops. That sucked, so I just scarfed down my food and left because I don't know a good way to get out of such a situation.
Also I won some more UFO Stitches :)
Stopped by Mint Jimbocho, they don't have Bikkuriman 2008, only 2007, and they said they think only Ikebukuro has them. Hrm. Maybe I should get over my Japanese phone fear and call around...
After work I came home and did laundry for a change! And I watched Walkin Butterfly, which continues to be a bizarre midnight dorama. I wish I had time to watch REAL doramas, but alas.
I need to register for the JLPT Level 2. And then I need to study my ass off. Argh.

Studying your ass off though, much tougher.
