Not so lazy Sunday - a podcast by ApocD

The wife and I had an awesome day today. Here's what we did.

1. Slept late.

2. Went to Starbucks.

3. Went to Yodobashi Camera. K found a camera bag that she wants, and I checked out the Asus eee PCs. I was surprised the eee is being sold here in Japan. I was also surprised that it comes with XP instead of Linux, as most of what I've heard about the eee has been on Linux-related podcasts. Anyway, I'm thinking about picking one up next month. (It was about $450.)

4. Went to Keiko's friend's photo exhibition in Shinsaibashi. The exhibition was about cats and there was an actual cat in the gallery. After we checked out the exhibition, we just walked around inside the building, which was old and cool. It reminded me of the building Matt had his exhibition in a couple of years ago. Most of the businesses there were clothes boutiques, but they should have been private detective agencies from the 40's.

5. Came back to Takatsuki and rented two bicycles at a total cost of 200 yen (about $2).

6. Rode to the river and checked out the cherry blossoms. There were plenty of drunk people to make fun of at the river.

7. Rode to an Indian restaurant that wasn't going to open for 15 minutes, so we went to Tsutaya and checked out the books and magazines.

8. I bought one of those big comics that I always see at the convenience stores. It was 500 yen for a 1,000 page comic. The print is big, which means it will be good practice for reading Japanese. I have some other comics, but the print is so small if I can't understand the kanji, the tiny hiragana beside it gives me a headache. Anyway, it's a Monster Hunter comic. It was the wife's recommendation. I read about four pages of it armed with both an electronic dictionary and an analog one.

9. Went to the Indian restaurant and ate some awesome food.

10. Came home and watched Chibi Maruko-chan and Sazae-san, which were both really funny today.

11. Watched Flight Plan on TV. Hey, it was a good day; I didn't say it was perfect.
