Phillip and the Blog Factory

Well here I am. Pushing out blog after blog after blog. I think the real question at this point is “Is this getting boring, tiring, or none of the above. With my editor, me and I don't know why I'm allowed to call myself that because I'm sure you've realized by some of my more recent blog posts I rarely proofread my work, breathing down my neck telling me another blog must go out, I wonder is it really worth it and still fascinating to the reader.

Anyway I last left off in my talking about how I almost got myself lost in Mito. So let's try to remember what happen next. Uh....Well I believe that night went to Bou's to celebrate a friends birthday. Originally we were going to go to nomihodai, but it was more expensive because it was a holiday. Actually now that I think about it, we were gonna go to nomihodai the next night and went to Bou's instead for that reason. Point is on those nights I went out and met some new Japanese people, expanding my horizons beyond the few that I'd previously met. Also over the past few days I learned never trust Seiko because she's a trickster. Anyway both nights were a lot of fun. We drank we laughed, my wallet emptied even more.

I think Thursday we went out for ramen again, which was awesome as always. Sometimes a good bowl of ramen just hits the spot. This is the night we learned how incredibly easy it is to get N flustered. After the ramen we decided to take a gander inside a Japanese book store called Book-Ace. There we encountered all kinds of wondrous purchasables. There were tons of movies, most of them for rent, books, used video games, cell phones, CDs, magazines, and so on in that fashion. I could not spend enough time in the store nor could I leave without purchasing a cheap game, which even though it all happens to fast for me to read I think it is actually helping my Japanese.

Let's see I guess that really just leaves last night. We went out to Bandoutarou's, and I got myself Gekikaramisonikomiudon and ordered it all by myself, after the Japanese people taught me out to read the Kanji. After a few of us, including me, returned to the dorm while the others went shopping at Kasumi. After some time it was 11:30 and my friend decided he wanted the American version of The Ring because like the bad storyteller I am I left out that we had watched the Japanese one earlier in the week. So we made a mad dash for Book-Ace and managed to get there with time to spare. After that we got back to the dorms and after much talked it was decided to watch the American version of The Ring, which I didn't really feel like watching. So I didn't. I went back to my room and watched part of Amelie instead, which was nice.

So what have I left out of this tale you ask? Elite Beat Agents. I got this game almost two years ago now, and I've been playing it on and off since then. Right now I'm in one of those on stages where I'd actually kind of like to at least unlock the hardest difficulty. So a couple days ago I got to the last song, and I can't seem to beat it. I can get pretty close though which is always frustrating. Anyway after this blog is up I might be back to trying to beat that.

Until next time remaining readers.
