September

The night aaron left i went to see my friend play a show with his band. I think i got back from taking aaron to the airport around 7pm so i got ready and headed out. it took me forever to find the place and i had to walk down all these dark and deserted streets. but after an hour being lost and another hour walking i found tha place and there was this huge brawl going outside. it was a little bit of a seedy, divey kinda place and there were all these guys outside standing in the parking lot and on the street in front of the club yelling and making fighting looks and some girl was crying and everyone was completely ignoring me so finally i just walked in... cause well i had a ticket so you know. when i got in i thought i had missed them but then i saw one of the regulars from the red spanky and he directed me to where tach and cap were standing at the front watching and it was actually Tommy (one of the bartenders at the red spanky) drumming. he was really good but i only got to hear the last two songs cause i came too late. after we went to junpu ( the restaurant owned by the same person as the red spanky) where i stayed until late late late.

i watched two movies in the month of september. first i watched batman and it was soooooo good! it was so much better than the other new batman and it was up to par with the original batman movie with jack nickleson as the joker. and heath ledger was soooo good as the joker! really he made the movie. i probably wouldn't have really liked it that much without him. and i had very high expectations because i am in love with jack nickleson as the joker. anyways i know uncle malky didn't really like it that much but i did. i called home about it. next i saw sex and the city which had really pretty dresses and other clothes and stuff in it so i liked that.

one time i went out on a wandering around expidition and i went much farther down the arcade under the train tracks than i usually do and it was soo cool! there was this exotic pet store and it had a huge tortoise fenced in this little space by corrugated iron (i felt kinda bad for him cause he was trying to climb his way out but the walls were to slippery and slidey) and there were these mouse kangaroos in a glass case tht had really long legs and big feet just like kangaroos and they were hopping around. there was a chameoleon lazing on a tree stub but i didn't see him change colours i guess cause there was really no need and there were all these tropical rainforest tree frongs that were bright green with red and blue and black stripes. and there were two porky pines all curled up and sleeping snug as bugs in their little auqarium. it was really cool but i felt kind of sad for the animals. and a little down the way there was another pet store with all these puppies and a few kittens. they were really really cute but i always feel kind of sad when i go to pet stores because they have to live in those little glass box display cases that are so small and suffocating and i think they must be going crazy cause i would if i had to be in a little glass box all the time and sometimes they look really sad and depressed. next i went to this store called the road runner that had all this motoerbike stuff everywhere and the guy talked to me in english for a while and he was really nice and they had really soft sweat shirts. then i went to a hat store where there was this really nice lady that spoke english really well and i talked to her for a long time. and before i left she gave me this little change purse that she had made from her store (she makes all the hats herself it"s pretty spiffy). then when i left the arcade i went to this used clothing store where somehow the guy new exactly where i worked and all about okubo amity and stuff so we talked for a while and it was cool. all in all it was a pretty good day and i was quite happy.

Sonia came saturday the 20th and we spent the next three days in tokyo. (i had a long weekend).
