class, where were you during battle of the books... i waited, and waited, and waited for you to get online...
so, how did it go?
HEY, HEY everybody! gosh, thanks for all the emails... it's sooooooo nice to hear from so many of you... i was SUPER lonely this weekend; i know you were all having fun with your families. thx for taking a minute or two to tell me how things went... AND about the snow... not much, certainly not enough for skiing, but it's a start, right?
i am back in tokyo now. NO PICTURES TODAY... kinda weary of having my camera on my belt... packed it for the trip from ube and left it packed... needed a break from photography... plus...it takes forever to put the pictures online... but FEAR NOT... if anything interesting happens tomorrow, i'll be back at it, camera in hand.
went to that crazy tokyo district, shibuya, again today, looking for stuff: music, clothes, etc... got one CD at the eight-story-tall TOWER RECORDS store that i really like, listening to it now... it's called lily chou chou... they're a pretty unusual sounding group from japan... at tower records they have about a million listening stations where you can listen to almost any CD in the store... i spent quite a bit of time there a few nights ago and i took some friends back with me today. i lost almost all of them in the store, so i moved on, alone, to look into stores... found a bike store, FINALLY, the first one i've seen in tokyo... (found a really cool one in ube... but, truth be told, i haven't been on a bike in over two weeks now... whew... i think that's a record.)... it was four stories tall. skiing on one floor, bikes on another, snowboards on yet another, and skateboards on the last... quite an experience, tokyo... anyway, i didnt find any tshirts but i did find another really cool store, by accident... i saw some posters that looked cool in a stairwell and headed down... and down... and down... and down... at first i thought i'd made a mistake, since i was in a locker room when i finally turned the last corner... however, somehow, i had stumbled into the JAPAN ANIMATION WONDERLAND OF ALL TIME... you know, dragonball z and the like... only this store wasnt just comics and posters, it was also toys, cards, records, cds, and, best of all: original handpainted anime cartoon cells... i bought several. i will show them to you when i get back... they're super cool! what a score! had more keitenzushi for lunch today... and for dinner last night in ube... i think i will open a keitenzushi restaurant in flagstaff when i return... :-)
SO, tomorrow (today here) is BATTLE OF THE BOOKS... hmmm... how are you planning to do, class... will you WIN or not... i hope you've been able to prepare... PLEASE DO YOUR BEST. if you do, then any outcome, win or not, is JUST FINE WITH ME. i WILL BE ONLINE AT 6:00am wednesday here in tokyo... that's 2pm tuesday in flagstaff... make sure mrs. ramsey or mrs. moeller logs onto the america online instant messenger program that i put on one of the machines in the library so that i can listen in for a while.
