April 15, 2002 - Monday
A bit muggy today, but no rain.
I got up early this morning to go to the apartment. I wanted to go with Fumihiko
because with my cold I didn't feel like biking. I slept for a couple of hours when
I was there, then I watched the rest of the Oscars, then Barbara Walters. I enjoyed
it all. Then I played The Bouncer.
I played The Bouncer for a couple of hours and I actually got one of my characters
all the way through. Yeah!!! I was so happy. I couldn't believe it. Now I have
to try and get the other two through.
I had to leave to get the Mikawa bus, so I left a bit early and went to the Post Office
to put some of my coins in my account. Oops. I overdid it a bit because I broke
the machine! Seriously. The guy had to come out and reset it and gave me back all
of my money. He was really nice, and cashed in my 500 yen coins for me, and was going
to help me make the deposit when I realized that I had to go if I wanted to catch
the bus.
When I got to the bus stop I was dying of thirst, so I bought a can of coffee.The
coffee was great, so I stood there, drank (a big no-no in Japan) and waited for the
bus. It didn't come. While I was waiting a bosozuku
started racing around on his motorbike in front of Jusco. He was gunning his motor
and trying to make people scared and I guess impressed! Really I just thought he
was stupid. I was hoping some big truck would come and run him over, but no such
luck. He left and about 3 minutes the police arrived. Then the police left and he came
back! It's like they planned it that way.
After a while I realized that I must have read the schedule wrong, but then again,
so did Fumihiko so I didn't feel too bad. I waited until it was 5:00pm and called
him. I offered to catch the next bus in 40 minutes, but he said he'd come and pick
me up. I went into Mr Donuts and had soba and nikkuman. Yum.
I was almost finished when Fumihiko drove by and came to get me. We drove to the
mall only to discover that the only two possible movies that we could see were a
war movie and K-Pax. We decided to see K-Pax but to get supper first. We each had
bibinba, which was really nice. Then, Fumihiko decided he was still hungry so went and ordered
at another place. There were 20 minutes before the show started so he thought it
would be okay. Well, it wasn't. It took them 15 minutes to make his food and then
he still had to eat it. I refuse to go into a movie once it's started, so I made him
slow down his eating and said that I didn't REALLY want to see the movie that bad
(I've read it's not very good) and that we could just go shopping instead.
So, that's what we did. I bought myself a mini-cd player so that I can listen to
music and not disturb everyone. I know that I have a tape player too, but I have
more cd's than tapes these days.
Then we went to the apartment and we watched The Truth About Cats & Dogs. It was
as great as ever! Actually maybe better because I was watching with someone that
I love. (Mushy ne?)
After the movie we came home and I am typing and using my cd player with The Barenaked
Ladies inside. Yeah! I'll go to bed soon, I'll have to take some medicine again
first.
Gotta go....night night!
