Monday's entry -- college ball, etc
(posted from McDonald's where I'm leeching wireless right now, and backdated)
I'm trying to write this and put it on my phone. We'll see if it works. (Ed. note: it didn't. I can SEE text files on my phone but can't copy and paste from them.)
So Monday I got my phone back with the data on it. That was good.
I went down to Jingu and watched the Tokyo Big 6 college ball games, or more like, I saw the end of Meiji-Rikkio -- including Yusuke Nomura, the Meiji pitcher that I like -- and then saw the Tokyo-Hosei game. Todai is TERRIBLE at baseball but, they tied Saturday's game so they were playing again Monday. I wanted to see their ace Suzuki. I had my big camera and sat on the 3rd base side, which was a double mistake -- first, Tokyo was on the first base side. OOPS. Second, Suzuki is left-handed. Oops. So I didn't get that many good shots of him, BUT get this, Tokyo actually won the game 5-4 on a sayonara fielder's choice. They were even actually ahead for parts of the game. Hosei must really suck, or maybe Suzuki-kun really is that good (I saw him strike out a bunch of guys, he throws a nice changeup too). But after 188 pitches on Saturday and 167 on Monday I feel kind of bad for him.
After that the skies opened up. Literally. There was lightning and rain and even HAIL, as if the baseball gods were protesting the idea of Todai actually winning a freaking game. I managed to make it to Sendagaya station before the worst of it, but it was pretty nasty. It calmed down by the time I got home, at least.
I napped for an hour or so, then went down to Akabane, had some ramen for dinner because it was so cold outside, then checked out an internet cafe, Primus. There seem to be three main internet cafes near the station, maybe more... anyway, this one is a little cheaper than the others BUT there doesn't seem to be a no-smoking area so after an hour and a half my clothes were TOTALLY permeated with smoke. YUCK. I'm gonna check out the other ones and see how they are for non-smoking areas soon I hope.
Then watched Ainori; Yokko kouhaku'ed to Kosuke and it's fairly certain he'll say yes, they've been acting like a married couple for the last few months anyway.
This morning I woke up and saw the World Series game except it stopped in a rain-delayed tie at 2-2! Yikes!
Also, my right shoulder is now totally killing me -- my arms don't hurt as much but I must have pulled something at volleyball because I couldn't sleep without rolling over and waking up in pain. Sigh.
