Gone

Miriam and Fanny went home to Sweden this morning. :(
We had a kind of a "wake" at Fanny's house last night. Sat around drinking until about 6 in the morning when Miriam and Fanny took a taxi to the station to go to Narita. I cried a little I think. Strange, I usually don't concerning things like this. We had a party in Matsudo three days ago as well. Thérèse couldn't come to Fanny's house yesterday because she went to Okinawa and won't be back until next Tuesday or something, so the party in Matsudo was her last chance to say goodbye. It was quite the emotional evening. Thérèse, Fanny and Miriam go way back, and they came here together as well. Next up on the going-back-to-sweden-list is Karin, she'll be leaving November 8th. Can't wait to see what kind of mental wreck I'll be at that party. :P
On a more awesome note, K-I got here like a week ago! Nobody will go safe from the madness we will unleash on Tokyo! He also bought a computer which came preinstalled with Windows Vista, ew. So I'm gonna head out to Matsudo to try and remedy that later today. When me thought patterns are more cohesive.

A while

I have been enlightened. There is fun to be had in Roppongi contrary to my previous beliefs. Yesterday we went out to a place called Castillo. It's a small place, hardly any people there at all yesterday, but it was really great. They played 70-80's music and you could make request (yes I made LOTS of them). And so we danced the night away (except a bit at the end... when I was tired :P).
Oh, and earlier, before the Roppongi-part, me, Christer, Tobias and K-I went to Tokyo Game Show! It was cool, but not like.. "WOHOO BEST EVVARRR"-cool. Didn't play anything though, the lines were ridiculous. 4 hours to play the demo of Metal Gear Solid 4 (not that I wanted to play it but still). It was something I'm glad I did, because I probably won't be going again. Unless some really fucking great game that I reallyreally want to play and the demo is available there only, then I might consider going again sometime. Nowadays you can watch everything on the intarwebs anyway.
So, today I'm going to stay in bed (where I am now), and just.. watch movies and anime or something. My urge to move around is at this moment very small.

The X-ray Bus

Strange day today. A few days ago we were informed that there's tuberculosis going around in Tokyo now, and that we would have to get chest x-rayed. :D So today we did. We were supposed to have a small test first period but instead we had to fill out forms. Really ugly forms. You would maybe think that "Hey, Japan is pretty technological.", but these forms looked like they'd been written on a typewriter and then manually copied or something. Anyway, we filled them out and then off to Shinjuku we went. The x-ray mobile (yes! that's what they call it, I want one when I grow up) was like a 10 minute walk from the station. In, hand over the form, stand in front of the machine. KA-CLICK. Done. And then me and Christer and Tobias went to McDonalds. Yay. I proclaim this weekend FFXI-weekend. That is all.

Back then...

Loaded up my old anime opening & ending-playlist again. Feels kinda nostalgic listening to some of the songs. I remember a few years back when me and a friend used to have "Guess that op/ed"-competitions over shoutcast. Ah, the nerdness. :D I miss it. I haven't watched anime regularly since I came to Japan, almost a year now. I might start again now that the new Gundam-series is beginning in a few weeks (maybe earlier?).... checked, first episode airs October 6th apparently. The robots look kinda plain from what I've seen (the ones I saw at Gundam Expo anyway), but so did Impulse and Strike at first. I guess they're gonna flesh them out later on or replace them all together, hopefully not as ridiculously as they did with Strike Freedom with all the Meteor-packs and shit. That was a little too much. Oh yeah.. I still have that Z Gundam model I have to finish putting together.

Weekend

Another week is coming to an end. We had an evil test today, but I think I did ok. My kanji-skillz are becoming weak, have to study more. :( Damned Thérèse has contaminated me with her evil cold so I guess it's another weekend at home, playing games. :P Not that I have the money to do anything anyways. Finishing up the Cybran campaign in Supreme Commander, then I'll probably move on to Command & Conquer 3 or something. Gonna go and make som delicious 100-yen pasta and sauce, and totally drown it in garlic and tabasco. I need to get rid of this cold.

Hot

Today was Miriam's birthday! 誕生日おめでとう～！
Other news tonight: Karin beat me at Mario Kart DS!
This cannot be tolerated! I must go back to practice. After I've finished Gundam G Generation Cross Drive that is. :P

My hiccups taste like Gin & Tonic.

Newsflash

I'm a dick.

That is all.
