Week was finally over and it's been good. Got to see Everclear, new episode of AD, amongst others. It's Monday though it felt like a Sunday since i was sorta off today. I had to come in to work at 9 last night for some generator load, and didn't leave til about 6/7 hrs later.

Weekend was fun. I hang out with my friend Caleb down at Tokyo. Had to "work" Friday night and got off at around 1930, after which we went to the cafe to grab a bite. Mine being the Smoked salmon as always (don't remember exactly who got me started with it but i sure do love them sandwiches) After dinner, went home to get ready and stepped out to catch the train around 9.
Caleb sure love his brand new digi-cam (i helped pick) which was really just perfect. It's so tiny it doesn't even feel like you have a camera in your pocket. He was snapping away at the train during our trip. It was these two girls that got on who kinda started it. They were wearing cut-off's and I made a comment about never-nudes getting on the train (which is an affliction, there's dozens of them!) Some girls sure try to be different as much as they can, well even boys. You'd see some who's just wayyy tanned beyond reason, it's not even tan at times, it's more like black, along with their dragon ball-z, blonde/platinum hair.

So got to Shibuya, and walked around for a little bit trying to find a place to go after which we settled at a japanese-owned English pub. It wasn't bad, i had a lagger or something. So sat down, talked for a bit. Was going through my phone book, and there was this one phone number that I didn't recognize. So dialled it and some guy picked up after which I just hang up. Smart move, considering this technology known as caller id. Few minutes later, phone was ringing which of course we didn't pick up. The pub got a bit too warm for us, considering we were wearing sweaters so we just left and stopped by a store to grab some chu-hi to get a buzz going.

While at the store, I got a bit hungry so was debating what to eat and saw a picture of a gyudon sandwich style(which is like a rice beef sandwich). You have the beef, sandwiched by two round "slices" of rice. Gyudon is a well-known dish in Japan. The restaurants who serve 'em, Matsuya, Yoshinoya, are sorta fast-foods since people usually just go there during lunch breaks, getting off from work, or munchies after a night out. We just hang around right outside the konbini while we were drinking, and 'avin a snack.


After that, we just walked around for a bit more and sat by the train station. It was pretty much my friend that was chatting up with people that night, since I really didn't feel like it. There really weren't that many people to talk to that night, most of them have been drunk right after getting off from work. It was actually fun to just be there and chill in the city, just watching all the people crossing the main intersection which is known as the busiest in the world. Saw someone cute but pretty much just smiled and didn't say a single word (typical me)
