Not much else to report. Went to a game center last Monday and won a Famicom clone out of a UFO catcher! That was awesome! I tested it out and it actually works, so i'm suddendly in "gotta get retro games" mode(^-^) I tried a couple of shops today but couldn't find anything i really want there. I'm gonna hit a really big shop on Friday, so if there're any games you want me to look for, let me know!! (Ben and Denise: are there any other Fire Emblem games you guys are missing that i can look for?)
Also went to Hanami last weekend and ate lots of chicken. Good barbecue, good friends, bad booze. The beer was ok, the shochu was ok, the chu-hi was ok, but the Suntory Whiskey tasted of Windex and gave me a massive hangover IMMEDIATELY after drinking it. Like seriously, i felt like crap about an hour after i drank it. That's record hangover time i think. So the moral here, Stay away from Suntory Whiskey. It's shit.
Cherry blossoms were really nice, but they're only starting to bloom in Nikko. I might have the chance to meet my friend there and see more cherry blossoms minus the booze.
Ok, time for bed!
