Meeting EK in Shibuya

Today was a weird day too. I was extremely happy, and for no apparent reason too. I felt like I had a lot of energy all day, even though I didn’t get much sleep. The sun is starting to affect my sleeping patterns again. Since the sun rises around 6am that’s when I get up too. The sun shines right in my eyes, so I’ll need to think about investing some money into buying curtains.

I was working on my homepage all day. I’m getting most of it updated with new pictures and using a different server and everything. It’s got a nice new look to it, but it’s a little dark and not as vibrant as it was before. But I like the look of it. I’m having some problems with some pictures that have disappeared some how and I’m not sure how to get them back. But I was just chopping away at it all day. I didn’t get much into making the new pages that I had wanted to do, but at least I got it updated with many new things. I’m really excited about the new release and everything. So I upgraded it from BETA version to Version 1.0. YAY! I’m making some progress here, but there are still some kinks in it that I will have to remedy soon. I hope to get it ready for wide release, so far only a few people have taken a look at it. I’ve gotten only good feedback so far, but I’m sure that they wouldn’t say it sucked, even if it did. But it’s a good thing that it doesn’t suck… hehe. Once I get it mostly finished I’ll put out the address, but since I’m so close to finishing it, you’ll just have to wait.

The other thing that I was doing today was cleaning. I was both at the same time, which turned out to be disastrous. I didn’t get either one finished before I needed to leave to meet EK. I started the cleaning process a little bit late too, but I did get one of my rooms cleaner than it was before. I will have time tomorrow to get the rest of it finished though, so I’m not really stressing about it. I actually left my house a little late today to get to Shibuya on time. At least it felt like it. The weather was being funny again. It was all hot in the afternoon, but got really cool in the evening time. So finding the right clothes to wear was a bit difficult.

But somehow I arrived at Shibuya on time. EK was actually waiting for me, only because he was closer and got off of work early. We walked around a little bit because we weren’t too hungry and just talking about things. It was something that truly amazed me; we found a Vietnamese restaurant in Shibuya. I’ve walked past this place on numerous occasions, but haven’t noticed it there before. It’s actually underground and I’m shocked that we saw it because we were looking across the street at first at the radio station. It was a little shop underground. It wasn’t as good as Saigon or as cheap either, but it wasn’t horrible either. For being the only Vietnamese restaurant that I’ve seen in Japan, I thought it was a relief. I might have to stop by more often to get my dose of Vietnamese food.

After dinner we went walking around some more. We decided to go walk to Harajuku since it wasn’t too far, well wasn’t too far for me at least… hahaha. EK is an old man who gets tired too easily. I would say that going from Harajuku to Shibuya is less than a kilometer, but he got soo tired. So I took him to Takeshita street and Omotesando to look around. We had a crepe, my first crepe ever. I had a caramel cheese cake with Vanilla ice cream. Sounds good, but it was only ok. It was nothing too impressive to be honest with you. I had always envisioned that it would be better. Anyways, after this, we walked back to Shibuya station. I got back just in time to get on the last Limited Express train to go home. We parted ways and I got home fairly quickly too. That was a good day I think, even though there was lots to be finished. But when I got home, I jumped right back on the computer and did some other stuff. There was a new release of MSN messenger version 7.0777. I had downloaded it and so far, so good. I like all the features that they’ve been working on and would like to say GOOD JOB with it. Well I haven’t used all the functions yet, but all that I’ve read about makes me excited. I still need to get more work done with my website though and still have other little things to take care of too.

I had a nice chat with ICn and AWs in the wee hours of the morning too. That’s always nice since I have a lot of energy right now and can’t fall asleep. Which I’m sure will come and haunt me later since I haven’t been sleeping well.
