Send help. Everything is insane.
Okay... maybe an over reaction. Typing is proving very slow due to the keyboard lying to me. Oh... I should mention... I am in Yokohama. Shouldn't be too much of a surprise to most but I thought I should mention it.
My trip was made marginally harder by my flight being cancelled as Katy has already mentioned. This meant I had to find a hotel for one night, without a reservation. Ah... I have turned the keyboard into QWERTY. Punctuation still hard... and not allowed to press the same key twice for some reason. Need to press shift whenever I want to. Ah well... it passes the time.
So, hotel was found although quite expensive, just over 10,000 yen. I plan on contacting the airline who messed me around and pointing out that this expense was directly due to their screw up and try and demand they cover the cost. Oh, and losing an entire day of my holiday... that seems like it would be worth mentioning.
I managed to find Chinatown... I was not looking for it at the time but I found it anyway. Now I just need to find the Starbucks that is in it so that I can meet up with other English Magic players and talk strategy. Slight worry in that... I thought starbucks popped up like weeds? Is there really only going to be one in all of Chinatown? Oh... and I just worked out how to do question marks. Go me. Seems unlikely I will get much tourist stuff done seeing as that was vaguely pencilled in as my thing to do yesterday. I guess I might get some done tomorrow though. Of course, I am mostly here for the Magic, which makes me a huge dork. Oh... where the hell is the AT key? Kinda makes it hard to log on to MSN, although at the time of writing it is going to be late-o-clock anyway. Two in the morning over there, I suppose.
As an aside, which arguably makes it on topic considering how disjointed my entire writing has to be at the moment, I seem to not be able to sleep when I travel. Of course, this meant I had not had sleep for about... thirty hours when I finally managed to get into Yokohama. Then I had to find a hotel. Did I go straight to sleep? Nope... once in bed I was wide awake and read for another hour. Smart. With any luck I have adjusted to Japan time already though. Also, I have realised that the essay I was planning on planning... was not really right. Thankfully I think I have got a new topic that I can plan for. Shame it also seems I can not work on planes either. I am totally screwed when I get back as this had been a large part of my plan. Whoops.
Where the hell is the apostrophe?? I keep doing it by accident but can not reproduce it when I want it. Hence having to write can not.
Anyway... consider this my postcard to let you know that I am not dead. Also, my tournament is only a couple of stops down the line and does not require me to travel to a central station and change as I originally thought. How lucky. I have now been blinded by a camera flash. They have a wall with everyone who has stayed at the Hostel. I guess this is a ritual blinding. Also, I have been laughed at for playing Magic already and I have not even got a card out. Strong.
Randomest paragraph ever.
I am going to stop now... with any luck someone in the English party will have a laptop with wireless and I can log on to MSN when people are online. On the plus side, I know all the buttons that will let me check some webcomics. Unless they laugh at me for that, too...
