- What an interesting weekend I had. I actually left the house and did stuff. Well, I did on Saturday at least.
- Last week, Friday couldn't have come fast enough. I was really itching to not have to come to work so of course that meant that Friday took forever. I was constantly looking at the clock only to realize that I seemingly had an endless amount of hours left. I trudged onwards and finally left. Not to go home but to get my hair cut.
- I want to be dramatic and say that my haircut took 5 hours. Actually, the cutting was done much faster than that but I hung out with

kayteanese and Kazu until almost midnight. I think that was the first time I've had a legitimate long and interesting conversation with anyone I've met in Tokyo. Those two are good people.
- I got home on Friday via the last train. Which is generally crammed full of people but wasn't for some reason that day. It's like one of those occaisions where small things are going well and you can't help but thinking of Ice Cube and his not having to shoot his AK. Unfortunately, there was no Goodyear blimp proclaiming my pimpness.
- Saturday was busy. It was like an endless stream of activities. First I set out in the afternoon in a failed attempt to see The curious case of Benjamin Button. I met up with a friend of mine at Minato Mirai station and we set off to the movie theater only to find that all the tickets were sold out. We then went to another theater in Kawasaki but just before we got to the ticket counter they were all sold out. I never actually did get to see it but the process of running around a lot was fun.
- After that, I went home and started putting the finishing touches on my decadance costume. I had a lot of little things to do for it like make fake eyelashes and glue little white leaves all over the place. It, as always, took longer than I expected it to. Eventually Shigeko, the girl who made the clothing I designed came over with my clothes. Everything was acceptable so I changed, did make-up and headed out to Shibuya via the last train.
- It was really cold. Not because it was actually really cold, it was probably hovering around freezing, but because I couldn't wear a jacket with my clothing and it was the equivalent to wearing a button down shirt or a long sleeve t-shirt in that weather. Needless to say I was shivering and my muscles were all tight from being so cold.
- Decadance was fun, I was a popular guy, which is awesome because I was mostly white and pink and covered with flowers. From what I understand, the more feminine I make myself look, the more popular I am. I got to talk to a ton of people that I had never talked to before plus I met some people that I've only talked to via mixi including members of this performance group called Scop. They are 4 girls with painted white faces, white wigs and colorful 60's style gogo dresses. It's like village of the damned at a freak out. They are amazing. I wish I had photos.
- Sunday was spent mostly sleeping and cooking. I woke up around 1:30 pm and after using the computer for a while I set out to the supermarket for supplies. I ended up making a cherry pie and some blueberry muffins. I also ate pork chops with a stir fried eggplant, onion and mushrooms. It was all made while the 1971 Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory played in the background. I can, pretty much like all the songs I've heard a couple of times, sing the entire movie.
- I didn't actually bring my camera because I was in a hurry and couldn't figure out where I put it. There are a few pictures though:
The idea here was originally supposed to be more cute but because I am bald (via a bald cap) I looked like a weird flower monk or something similar. The bald cap was done so well that at least 10 different people asked me if I had shaved my head completely for the costume.
Here is another shot. The long pieces of clothe are alternatively either my collar or the extra long sleeves of the costume. The collar and sleeves are both about 2 meters long and are wrapped around my arms and neck so that I didn't trip over them. There will be a video of it later.
Here is the first of a few shots I took with other people. I'm just waiting for the others to show up on Mixi. From then, I'll probably post more photos up. For now, there is only this one with me and Mitake.
No, I'm not going to put up an LJ cut. I demand that you look at these photos every time you look at your friends page.
