Something-Off

Apparently I really meant I would werite every second day.

I spent most of yesterday walking around with Jen. We called it exploring, but most of the time we were in areas we already knew quite well.

I bought another Hikaru no Go video game for my PS2. I love some of the discount stores they have here! Only 1000 Yen!

They have interesting names too, it is always Something-Off. The book store is Book-Off, the office supply store is Office-Off, and of course my favorite...the video game and hardware store, Hard-Off.

Businesses here should consult with English speakers before using English. We could prevent them from naming places "Hard-Off". I wonder what a discount Pornography store would be called...F-Off?

Japanese Pet-Peeve: They don't have clothes dryers! Drying clothes on the line outside is fine for hot-dry days, but when it is raining or cold outside? Come on!!

Oh Canada: I'm looking forward to being able to visit Barrymores again. I also need to convince Bryan to resume "Guy's Night Out". Hopefully whatever job I get will be compatible with those two goals.
