Utter fail, etc etc.

Yeah, yeah, I know, I haven't posted in years. Sorry!! But let's recap really quick:

OH WAIT NO! I have to announce last blog's winner!
And the award for what-was-my-mystery-gift goes to... RIK! Congratulations, you get an internet high-five!

The gift from Ayako was indeed speakers:

They can also be used for my computer~
I also received these:

They're little flashcards in the shape of Mickey and Minnie! These will come in handy for studying kanji. Which reminds me of something I need to do...

OK! NOW let's recap!

Dessert from a few days ago!

As in, I took a picture and ate this a few days ago, not that I had this laying around for a few days. That would be gross. Anyway, it was super good :D

Then yesterday, Brenna, KC, and I went to Harajuku!

Cool train shot. I'm loving Brenna's WTF face.

Found a cool shop not too far from the Harajuku station that had Mario and Luigi hats!

Brenna as Luigi and me as Mario. Aww sad day, you can't see the logos.. :(

That same shop had the most AMAZING selections of skirts for sale:

No, sadly I didn't buy any. But I can always go back!

AND this hilarious backpack:


After that shop, we walked a little further and came across the famous Takeshita Street, which is home to a million little shops with cute clothes and some interesting fashion.


After window-shopping for a bit, we went and had lunch at an Indian restaurant:

KC and Brenna!


Brenna and I!

Aaaaaaaaand walking a bit further, we came across a famous store I had heard about:


After a visit to that shop and a quick purchase, we went back through Takeshita Street, and happened across these fellows:

Everyone was taking pictures of them, not just us. We're not creepers, or anything.


Another one.


And the best one I took. I certainly see a Linfield photo contest winner here. I have no idea what these guys (yes guys) were doing. I'm pretty sure they just dressed up for the heck of it.

Afterwards we went to Kanazawa-bunko and met up with Ayako for dinner! We also went to Mister Doughnut for dessert:

Soo good. There's one left now, but I'm sure it'll be gone soon.

At a certain shop, I bought a mystery item! Can you guess what it is?

I bet you can't. This one is difficult! Another prize to the first person to guess what it is!

Then today Emily and I went back to Akihabara. Why would I want to go back there, you ask? Well...

THE NEW POKEMON GAME JUST CAME OUT ON SATURDAY!! Don't judge me. It's sooo amazing. AMAZINFF if Kelli happens to read this. So anyway, I spent a fairly decent amount of money on this. But it was definitely worth it.

Afterwards, we threw an "American" food party for our buddies! I use quotes, because the main thing we made was quesadillas. Yeah... whatever, it was good. Afterwards we went out for karaoke again, and this time there were drinks involved! I had two fuzzy navels and a kalhua...something. No, I am not turning into an alcoholic. It just made karaoke more fun! We finally got to sing our Arashi song! Followed by Matsuura Aya and ending with the group's theme song, 'End of the Road' by Boyz II Men. I forgot my camera, but I know Kelli took a lot of pictures which will be on facebook... probably tomorrow. If I get around to it, I'll post them here too.

And since tomorrow is a national holiday, we don't have class!! It's Respect for the Elderly Day. I'll be going to Odawara with a friend! Odawara is home to this:

So expect some good pictures!

Alright then, goodnight!
