Dec. 7th, 2012 08:48 pmI've been slacking on my updates recently. I realized that I never posted about going to Tokyo Disneyland. Kiri, Leslie, and I had Starlight Passes, which were good from 3 PM until the park closed. First we bought ridiculous, matching Stitch hats because they were cute and we were cold. We didn't go on a lot of rides because the lines were really long, but we did ride Pirates of the Caribbean and the teacups. And both times in line, Kiri managed to make friends with adorable Japanese children through the magic of janken (aka rock paper scissors). After the rides, we found a good spot to watch the Electrical Parade. It was the holiday version of the parade and it was really pretty. After that we watched the fireworks at the castle. The display wasn't as impressive as Disney World, but at the end of it they turned on a snow machine so that snow was lightly falling in front of the castle. That definitely made it a bit more magical. It was a fun time! I'm looking forward to checking out Tokyo Disney Sea in the future.

The same weekend, I also got an iPhone! I'd been thinking for a while about how convenient it would be to have one and my parents offered to pay for the cost of the phone itself as a Christmas present. So I headed over to the Softbank store to update my phone. My phone bill will be more expensive, but I definitely think it'll be worth it. I can easily do a lot of really handy things with my new phone, like look up directions and translate Japanese. I think my favorite app has to be LINE though! With it, I can send free messages to anyone else who has the app on their phone. I got V and DJ to download the app too, so now I can text them again! (I'm glad because it's let me keep up with poor DJ while he's been in the hospital this week. Thankfully, he's doing fine now.)
Now, I'm looking forward to this weekend. I'm planning to meet with my friends to do a little bit of early birthday celebrating. I'll also have an awesome unexpected birthday present in the form of a Miyavi event at Tower Records Shibuya! When I bought MYV's new CD, I entered a drawing to win a ticket for the event. I'd kind of forgotten about it, assuming that I didn't get a ticket, but when I came home from work yesterday I found it in the mail! I'm super excited to see MYV up close!
