Happy March 1st from Tokyo!  I can’t believe I made it this far without dying.  (Yes, I know that’s a tad dramatic, but I’ve always had a flair for drama.)

This morning I had no real plan, so I decided to go to Ikebukuro and buy some stuff at Uniqlo.  Well, I forgot that shit don’t open until 11AM around here, so I poked around Sunshine City, looking in the Pokémon store and spinning Pokéstops until Uniqlo opened.  I don’t know why I always want to go to Uniqlo while I’m here.  They have it in my city.  I just love Uniqlo man.  I’m actually super glad I popped in there because they have these new jumpsuits based on MoMA designs and they are so cute.  Plus, I’m a sucker for jumpsuits.  Also, I fit into a medium size.  What the what?  I’ve never fit into a medium size in Japan, not even at Uniqlo.  That was a huge ego boost for today.

After that I went to the Evangelion store and bought some おみやげ for Demande.  I have seen bits and pieces of Evangelion, and I like Mari but he’s much more versed in Evangelion lore (and Evangelion stickers are the only ones he uses on Line).  I bought a couple things for myself and some things for him.

I’m still thinking of what to get Mamoru.  He’s the hardest person in the world to shop for.  I was thinking of going back to the Pokémon store and getting him a Dragonite plush, since the Dragonite we saw in Okinawa escaped his grasps while I caught it.  (This was probably for the best because if it had escaped me, I probably would have thrown myself off that very bridge.  Dramatics again.)  Is that gift funny or mean?  I think it’s funny.  I don’t know.  I haven’t decided yet.

I’m meeting Motoki in a little bit.  Now I’m just gonna watch TV and have some downtime before going out and drinking a fair amount.  I hope your March starts off on the right foot!
