Cold day
The problem with having internet and a cold house is that I don't feel like moving from my position at the kotatsu and actually doing anything productive. Oops.
So today I went down to the Shibuya area to hang out with Westbay and another guy and chat about Japanese baseball stuff. I ended up inheriting a whole bunch of old meikan, which will take me quite a while to go through I'm sure :) Discovered that Kanemoron's real name is actually Hideo, seems he changed it in his first or second year as a player. That's nuts.
I tried to go to Heiroku for lunch but it turns out that this week they are having a "renewal" and basically remodelling the store. Oops! I ended up getting lunch at a Matsuya by the station I met Westbay at (before he arrived). A ricebowl with fried pork on top, plus miso soup, is still pretty good for 380 yen when you think about it... this is my fast food.
After Shibuya, I went to the Tokyo Dome. The store was closed, but I stopped in Yamashita and got the 2008 Fighters photobook and the 2009/3 issue of Pro Yakyu Ai. Seems I'm gonna have to go to Shosen to catch up on a few interim other magazines. Also got my first Stitch of the year on a whim when I put one coin dammit into a catcher. See, it's just destiny.
I got sushi for dinner at the kaiten place by Suidobashi station and it was yummmmmy. It's great to be back here in some ways.
Came home via Akihabara. Is it me or is there no Bic Camera there? I ended up back at Yodobashi and got the laptop bag I had pondered yesterday, for the mini-HP, and ALSO got a USB hub, so I can't complain about lack of ports anymore. Whee. Tried to combine my two Yodobashi cards, turns out I have to wait a few days until the one from yesterday is entered into the system. Amazed I could explain the situation in Japanese and understand the problem as well...
I am home. Have been sitting under the kotatsu since I arrived pretty much. Like I said, this is a problem.
Also, I left my scarf in Shibuya. Oops.
Need to wake up early but don't want to move into my cold bedroom.
I should make a locked post with some other stuff about todos and whatnot.
