June 26, 2000 - Monday
I had a good day today. I got up around 12 I think and managed to leave the house
before 2. I had lunch in a little cafe and wandered through some stores on my way
downtown. I had originally planned to take a bus tour of Otaru, but I chickened
out of it. Oh well, there's always next week.
I decided to go to Mycal again and did a bit of window and real shopping! I bought
3 cds, Jennifer Lopez, Masaharu Fukuyama, and (I don't believe this one) David Cassidy.
Yep...I did. I can't believe it. I found a hundred yen shop and got a plastic
cup and some hooks for cups.
I checked out the movies and decided that the only ones I was at all interested in
seeing were Erin Brockovich or Man in the Moon. I decided to see Man in the Moon,
despite not being a Jim Carrey fan. I did enjoy the film, although I don't think
I like Andy Kaufman. He was a bit strange! It was interesting seeing most of the Taxi
crew again...but where was Tony Danza? I wanna know. Jim Carrey was pretty amazing.
After the movie I debated buying myself the clothes rack I had seen earlier. I would
have liked to, but I decided it was too difficult to carry on my back and I haven't
figured out how to give my address in Japanese yet, if I took a cab. Instead I bought
myself a couple of house dresses...sort of wrap around dresses for the summer and
then bought some groceries. Oh yeah, I also bought some movie postcards and get
this....2 cans of A&W root beer! I couldn't believe it. This store was selling
a bunch of things like cherry cola and they also had Dr. Pepper too. But, A&W Root Beer. Hurray.
My ride/walk home was uneventful, puff puff. I think I'm getting used to the hills
a little. At home I ate some of the groceries and then tried to watch TV. Most
of it was preempted because of a volcano erupting somewhere in Japan. It's not where
I am, so nobody worry!
I'll be going to bed soon so that I can get some sleep and be really genki tomorrow.
Bye!
