Friday faffing

Well, my plans for this afternoon have run very late. I was supposed to be on a train to Naoetsu now, but for one reason or another I'm still in my flat.

Tomorrow is the Elctraglide consert in Osaka. Prodigy are headlining and Hexstatic are one of the acts supporting so I'm really looking forward it. The plans was to get the overnight train tonight from Naoetsu to Osaka and before that hang out in Naoetsu with the ALTs there. However, the train isn't running so we have to get the early morning train at 7.19am on Saturday. Also, the ALTs in Naoetsu aren't really up for going out, so now there's no rush to get there. This is a good thing. I left school around 12ish, headed home, checked my emails and headed out to my favourite ramen place for my usual, Friday-afternoon ton-kotsu ramen. I then got some petrol and kerosene on the way back and had a nap. The nap lasted longer than I expected, which was when I started to run late. Then I realised that I'd left my keitai in the desk drawer at school, so running out for that made me even more late.

I've decided now that I'm going to get the 20:37 train, the same as Debs, so I best get on with the other job I had to do before I leave; writing my Christmas List. It's not as easy as previous years because. I know I want CDs and DVDs from home that I can;t get over here, but I don't know what is available. In Japan I'm not exposed to the background noise of adverts, reviews and word-of-mouth that inform you about the latest CDs, DVDs etc. Let's hope the internet can enlighten me.
