Hangin out

3:50pm JST Friday 9 July 2004

Hung out with Olivia, Dan and (for a bit) Morag today before work in Jiyugaoka. How fun! We went on Quests to fix Dan's phone (He went in and explained, "when I check my email, it gives me some kind of error..." The woman checked, and it turns out someone hadn't paid his bill. The nerve!), to buy a gilligan hat for me (Olivia and I had scoped some stores in Motosumiyoshi, but found only women's hats or hats that were too small for me. We found something close in M. Smith skate and surf shop in Jiyugaoka, but it took Dan's arrival to lead us to Muji, the Container Store of Tokyo. Not as high quality as TCS, but still pretty much the same idea, except they have no travel items, and they have some clothing. We found the perfect hat for me there. It's a gilligan hat, but it's beige instead of white. Olivia didn't like it at first, and then she said it was perfect for me. So either she's a liar, or she quickly grew to like it.

We grabbed some foodage while waiting for Morag, who brought me her big purple raincoat outfit for climbing Mt Fuji! I knew she had it from the story Carla told me about the time they went hiking and everyone but Morag bought little cheapo throwaway things, but Morag was a genius and bought this sturdy coat with visor and pants! Morag tells the story more like, "I wish I had just bought a cheap thing because I looked like a giant grape," she says, emphasizing the final word.

Well, I'm glad she bought it and retained it and has loaned it to me.

We saw Jesse for a moment; he was on his way to teach a private student, but he, Dan and I cracked out the hackeysack for a moment. Okay 1 minute to work time.

gotta put on socks and shoes.

5:45pm

Aw man; I didn't retain both socks in my pockets from my apt to work. Walkin' around with one sock on now.

Turns out my sock had lept from my pocket in the shoe-changing area at the apartment.
