Happy Novemberween!!


I hope that everyone has had a good Halloween...What did I do on this great day of the all hallows eve goto a costume party? Nope. give treats to little kids...Nope, Sing the soundtrack to the Nightmare before Christmas?...Nope, but I was listening to it, Watch my favorite Halloween movies, like NBX and Bettlejuice? Nope...What I did was remembered that the new Final Fantasy Tactics mini figures came out on, so I had a trip to Akiba. I had picked up a few figures and Manga! I had picked up fair amount of manga, like the first three volumes of Haruhi (for Sakura, if Sakura wants them) the eigth volume of Genshiken and Hellsing. Volume one of the series that Desha liked to watch in the TV Show. The official Book of Genshiken, with profiles and other tidbits in Japaneses so I can't read it Yay!

Also I saw a maid handing out fliers that had red cat eyes, it was really freaky and cool at the same time. An other person dressed as Goku from Dragon Ball Z, I guess that Cosplay is such an weekly event that Dressing up for Halloween is not done, also the face that Japan doesn't celebrate Halloween like we do back home.

Also I was working on some clothes for Sofie. It didn't really turn out how I wanted it to...but I look ok. Also I did my laundry. Woot what an exciting Halloween....

This week had been just my lazy week...But another 9 days it would of been a month since I have arrived in Japan..I am a little disappointed in myself that I have not experienced more of Japan.
One one hand I want to be really active and just walk and explore everywhere, on the other had is that when I get back to Victoria I will not have any time to relax or to work on my personal projects as I will be looking for a job and a place to live so this is my vacation and I do want to relax and enjoy myself while I am here as well.

As long as you're having fun, that's the important part. Just enjoy yourself as much as possible -- you don't necessarily have to buy something or take a picture to appreciate the city. Check out that list of free things to do in Tokyo and see what appeals to you. Try to attend at least one festival. Relax, get a feel for the culture and have fun!

Had a pretty boring halloween here. The friend I was planning on hanging out with canceled on me and everyone else was busy. Ended up going for lunch at the 4 mile, some of the guys working there were dressed up, and that was bout all the costumes I saw this year, lol. Went home played on the comp and had a lil to drink and ended up taking a nap early on, then ordered some pizza at 2am.

I guess ya will be busy with the whole trying to find somewhere to live and work eh. Your welcome to crash here a few days if you need a place to stay.
