UFOs

9:27am JST Sunday 18 February 2007 (day 13479)

I just want to state, for the record, I am seeing more UFO press releases recently than say, before the recent Chicago incident.

I believe in synchronicity, which may be a simple explanation, but.. has anyone else noticed this? Are we on the verge of something?

I hope so.

And soon the movie Fastwalkers will be released. I've downloaded and it watched snippets. It doesn't seem like it will change the debate much, but I noted a guy quoting the aliens, "if you [who are hiding our existence] don't reveal us soon, we'll reveal ourselves."

I'm ready.

at Tokyo Dome City

1:52am JST Monday 19 February 2007 (day 13480)

Fun day at Tokyo Dome City and LaQua Spa today. We went with her coupons for LaQua, and I was like, "let's ride some rides and then go to the spa." It was drizzly and the ticket girl was like "not all the rides are running, so it's prolly better to get individual tickets instead of a day pass." She said it in Japanese, so I didn't understand her, and I'm glad we didn't take her advice because we rode like 22,000 yen worth of rides each for our 4000 yen passes. Aw yeah.

In order by listing on the map, not in order of riding, we rode

1. Big O: 1 * 800 yen
2. Thunder Dolphin 5 * 1000 yen
3. Wonder Drop 2 * 600 yen
4. The 13 Doors 1 * 800 yen
5. Spinning Coaster 2 * 600 yen
6. Little Tea Cups 1 * 200 yen
7. Geo Panic 11 * 800 yen
8. Hyper Illusion 2 * 600 yen
9. Zombie Paradise 5 * 600 yen
10. Bikkri House 2 * 400 yen

Wow.　Smooth total of 23000 yen each. Nearly 6 times what we paid for it.

LaQua features gender separated spa areas, with a few different saunas and indoor and outdoor onsens (hot springs (baths)). I enjoy the saunas more than the onsens, and I enjoyed the 102 C sauna more than the 80 C sauna, though I enjoyed it for a shorter time (8 mins, versus 15).

We zonked out at separate times while in the mixed gender pajama area, "saving" our chairs that overlooked Tokyo Dome City's Thunder Dolphin while the other enjoyed the hot tub area. The place got progressively less and less crowded as the night edged on. I wondered how long it would take me to get tired of the little utopia.

What if, I thought, what if

I got stuck up on the top of the Big O, like happened in the news recently; I froze my butt off (actually I guarantee I would break out and climb down, though that might not let me get the remainder of the story:) and got to sue the pants off the amusement park company. I'd be like, "give me 1 meeeellion dollars OR give me unlimited access to TDC and LaQua for me and a guest."

Then I could come whenever I wanted, with whomever I wanted, and it would be like a treat for a day, and really fun. People would probably be happy to spend a day there, hey wait a minute... I could get dates this way... hey wait a minute, I would start a website like 100datesintokyodomecity.com and have 100 dates in 100 days in Tokyo Dome City, and make a blog out of it, or like a reality TV thing or Heidies.com or whatever. I'd be an internet phenomenon.

Hmmm. Actually, let's see; we spent 4000 yen each on TDC, what would have been 3000 yen each for the spa, and let's say 3000 yen for food.. Hmmm. I could do 100 dates for just 20,000 yen per day, or 2,000,000 yen, ($20,000)... Hmmmm.

but then...

1:57am JST Monday 19 February 2007 (day 13480)

So then we headed home and in Yoyogi I was like, "oh shit, I'm cutting it reallllly close to get my train in Shibuya." Basically I was counting on the train being late, which it often is.

I got myself on the right end of the train, in Shibuya bolted down the stairs from Yamanote to Hachiko Plaza, bolted down the stairs into the shopping area, bolted down the stairs to Denentoshi, where I was greeted by a security guard who told me gently I had missed the train.

"Really?" I was afraid of that. I peered around at the sign to confirm his story, and then

and then

and then I heard the bell ring for the doors to close.

WHAT?

I bolted down to the line but had missed the doors by about 8 seconds.

That fucking mother fucker!! If he hadn't stopped me I would have fucking made the train!

Fuck me, if *I* hadn't believed him I would have made the train!

Pissed off, I went back upstairs and yelled at the guy, basically screamed at him THE TRAIN WAS THERE YOU FUCKING IDIOT WHY DID YOU STOP ME??? YOU WASTED THOSE TEN SECONDS AND I MISSED THE TRAIN!!

He noted I was angry, but basically ignored me and I just went away.

My mom says I have a problem with getting angry very quickly. She's probably right.

So now I'm in the cyber cafe for the night 1300 yen for internet and free drinks (including banana milk! mmmmm), which is something I've "wanted" to do, but I would like to have *my* computer so I can check my email. No way I'm logging on to my account on some public M$ box.

I created a yahoo email address I intend to never use again to send this and the previous journal entry. (and any others I send toniight before I leave in about 4 or 5 hours)
