today the rain was gone. no umbrella necessary, though i packed one just in case. most of the time my jacket was in my hand. yet i bought another jacket, for france. it's green and water/snow proof. now i can conquer the world. it was pretty cheap too. i also picked up some warm socks. and a bunch of stationery etc - small things that will fit in my suitcase. and then i discovered the supermarket around the corner. just now i'm eating spinach with sesame paste, and some sweet potato thing. i'm sitting in the common area because the loud canadians went to bed. i suspect everyone in my room is scared of them, so we read or do stuff on our beds. the new french couple are skyping with someone in their room, probably unaware that the walls are paper thin and everyone can hear them. the quiet cute boy just reemerged and is on one of the common room PCs. we sit and type, back to back. still no words from him today but there's always tomorrow.
my phone died so i can't even use it as a clock. this means i never know the time. i check on my ipod intermittently. i did so tonight at Roppongi and freaked out that it was 11.30. i read something about the trains stopping at midnight so i scurried off to the train. only at the station did i realise that the ipod had reverted to sydney time. i knew i got quite distracted by the light show i happened upon, but yes, not that distracted. then i walked home from Ueno station and stopped by the supermarket for a can of Asahi for 198 yen. nice.
I suggest a travel clock - objects that just do one thing are often more reliable!
