exciting day
no podcast today. actually i don’t think i will have one out until either late sunday night or sometime on monday! i have a 12 hour shift on both fri and sat, and a 24 for all day sunday. who says being in a leadership position doesn’t have it’s benefits??? [/sarcasm].
so the numbers haven’t been too bad for only having two episodes out. i peaked at 27 one day. i’m now leveled off at around 14-18 people pinging me a day. not to shabby for a show with downright shitty sound quality.
it’s 10pm and i should go to sleep cause the plan was to wake up at 0430 to run…… no running tomorrow! w00t!!!
today we went out to Sanrio Puroland. i’m not sure why it’s called puroland (possible f’d up translation that i’m missing), but it’s an amusement park in tokyo that is run by the good folks at the sanrio corp., the fine makers of HELLO KITTY. yes, i gave in all for my sweet little demon girl! she’s just too cute to say no to. actually she didn’t ask, i said “let’s take a trip somewhere for the kid”, and the wife said “ok”. one of her friends took their kid to sesame street place, and i felt jealous that we haven’t taken our kid anywhere in a while so i divulged. i must be a terrible father since i only give in to make my kid happy out of pure jealousy!!! anyways, enroute she (the baby) fell asleep so we decided to go check out Tama Hills rec center. i’ve been in Japan for 4.5 years now and always wanted to check it out. being as it was an old munitions base for the imperial japanese military, i was all for driving around the base looking at old hollowed out bunkers and bomb making factories. i had a blast, and the wife was terrified. “there’s ghosts, i just know there’s ghosts”. hehehe
so we finally left tama hills and went back to puroland only to discover that it was closed today for maintenance. what type of f’n theme park closes on a thursday????? anyways, we headed back to the in-law’s house, got a haircut on the way back there, ate ramen for dinner (damn good btw), and i headed home on the train 
so the wifey could rest without having to worry about laundry for another day. my day in a nutshell. i think i will try to post more as i do more japanesy (new word) stuff. so, until next time, mata-ne…….
