(no subject)

Our weekend in Osaka was lots of fun -- may I suggest that Nara makes a better day trip from Osaka rather than Kyoto? Seeing both one after the other would be something of a temple overload, it seems to me. This way, we had a nice mix: Osaka and its (blinking! bright! loud!) nightlife, the magnificent castle at Himeji (and we lucked out, what with being there on a festival day) and the ancient treasures at Nara. I'll write more about it later, but I have to leave for work. This, however, I have to share:

B1: I hate you.
Me: Whaaaat? Why?!
B1: Because all I want to do now is get back to your place soon so we can watch more Prince of Tennis. >_<
Me: *triumphant in this, my finest moment* I TOLD YOU IT WAS ADDICTIVE!!! XDDDD
