Harajuku

Today was the first day of my first official weekend. It was nice to relax, or, at least, not have to go to work. I was going to do laundry today, but it appears as if I will be waiting to do that until tomorrow.

I went to Harajuku today, to have a look around, and see if the things I saw last time I was here were still there. Lo and behold, two years wasn't long enough for the entire city to uproot itself and move. I saw the old familiar Condomania, KiddieLand, and the Shop of the Orient, where I got the puzzle box I've had, and the one I got for Greg. Oh, and this adorable little Puran Puran doll. Look at him. Awww....I just smile every time I look at him. He's saying, "Whaaaaaaat?" Look at those claws...he's so cute. If I didn't know he'd claw my eyes out given the chance, hehe.

I walked for a long time today, and it was rpetty tiring. But, all in all I had a good time. I picked up al ittle gift for my buddy Neil back home, and when I got back I had an email from Chris, my friend Amanda's older brother who's been working on Shikoku, near Matsushige. That was where I got stuck in a typhoon.

I also discovered that my phone takes pretty darn good photos. Most of these have been subjected to my inept photoshop batch processing skills, and are consequently of a lesser quality than they were before, but, the damned phone takes great pics.

But, best of all, when I got home, after eating the most interesting of mystery dinners, I got a call from none other than Mr. Bethell himself, who has finally returned from his trip to Mexico. So, tomorrow morning sometime he's gonna give me a call and we're going to get togehter and romp around like us gangstas do. It'll probably be a couple of straight hours of "Gregregregregregregreg!!!!!!!!" "Davedavedavedavedavedave!!!!!" But ya know, sometimes that's just how it goes.
