This lazy day was brought to you by the incredible distance between Dasaiyashi and Akiba! D:

July 28: Sleeping In

This morning I slept in until about 12 again.  Unfortunately this meant that after buying breakfast, eating and talking to Jiuna, it was almost 2:30, meaning that if I wanted to get back home at an early enough to go to bed at a reasonable time in preparation for my trip tomorrow, I would only get about 2 hours in Akiba, with showering, travel and dinner time all factored in. >_<  Days in Akiba are my #1 discretionary expense, and a significant part of the cost is in the travel (about 2500円), so I decided that I would stay home today, to save that chunk of cash for next weekend or for my vacation with Jiuna.  It was hard not to go, but I honestly didn't fully trust myself to actually leave after eating dinner there, so I decided it was important not to tempt myself. D:

Anyways, that means that today's blog will be rather dry. >_<  I played StarCraft with Kevin and Vincent, watched GSL (StarCraft), and watched some SF4 VODs to get myself hyped up for Evolution 2011 (the largest and most prestigious fighting game tournament/event in North America), which starts TOMORROW!  I will unfortunately not be able to watch much of it live (QQ), but they have always had VODs in the past (knock on wood).

I also talked a bit with Kusano-san, who told me that he had spent a lot of his weekend playing the SC2 demo. >_<  He said he quite likes it, but it's very difficult and it ate up a lot of his time.  I suggested that we play some after Jiuna and my vacation is done.  I kind of hope he gets slightly addicted, as it would be great to have another StarCraft nut in the same timezone (although another of the NTT Yokosuka co-ops is apparently quite into StarCraft as well, if I haven't already mentioned it).

I am unfortunately going to be getting up around 6:30 tomorrow morning, so I will just leave you with this short post and get to bed.  I came across a neat little thing on TL about falling asleep, and it appeared to work to a certain degree on me, so I will certainly be trying that tonight to try to combat my late rise.  Wish me luck... >_<

Night!
