July 27: Lazy Day
This morning I got up a little before 12 and went to the Yokosan to buy bananas, carrots, milk, a grapefruit and korokke, as well as some ziploc bags, as I am running out. I think my hodge-podge breakfast/lunch is pretty well-designed, as it's not only filling, but also contains many of the things that I don't get here that I would normally eat in Canada (most importantly fruit and milk). I wish there was an alternative to korokke, but they are just so damn cheap. >_<
I ate my breakfast back in my room, which is where I stayed for pretty much the entire day haha. I chatted with Jiuna about bookings for our impending vacation, and played some StarCraft with and without Kevin. I also caught up on Day[9] Dailies (a StarCraft strategy show) that I had been meaning to watch, which burns time quite well, as they are about an hour long. I also tried using XP Mode to play Alpha Centauri, but to no avail. D: I am not quite done trying yet, but at the moment I didn't really feel much like going through all of those "edit that .bat and this .dat", etc etc that goes along with trying to make one of the best games ever made run on anything resembling a modern machine. D: Seriously, Sid Meier, if you re-released Alpha Centauri for Windows 7, without even changing the graphics, I would buy a copy and another for everyone I know. Apparently that's not going to happen, because it was co-directed by Brian Reynolds, who is no longer with Firaxis. D:
For dinner I was pondering whether or not to eat at Irori-ya; a question that was answered by it not being open again. I know I have seen it open on Wednesday before! I guess it must just close really, really early today or something. I checked at 7:15, and the time I saw it open was at about 5, so next weekend I will PLAN! I got katsu-don from LAWSON STATION, as well as an ice cream sandwich dealie that was inhumanly proportioned. I enjoyed my katsu don, but the ice cream sandwich had me feeling a bit ill by the time I got through the whole thing. O_O I feel fine now though, so no long-term effects, thank goodness. I'm alright with the fact that I had to have convenience-store dinner today, because that means I've got more money to spend in Akiba tomorrow. ;D
For the rest of the day I just played games and prepped for Akiba (making vocab sheets, washing and filling water bottles, etc), as well as doing some laundry that I mentioned in my last post.
If I remember to do so, I think I will try checking out Kinugasa next Wednesday. It seems like a happening place (relative to Hayashi ahaha), and there are apparently some castle ruins or something.
Tomorrow is Akiba, so hopefully that will yield a slightly more interesting post haha. Night!
