They'll call it chance, or luck, or call it Fate

I can't believe that I've been in Japan for a month already. It almost doesn't feel real. I think it's because I'm always so busy. Things take a while to sink in.

This past weekend was a fun time. Greta and I went to the Tokyo Game Show on Saturday! It was so cool to see all the latest video games. It will be interesting to see which games get American releases in the future. I was especially excited to go to the Square Enix booth. Some of the big stuff Squeenix was promoting was Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep and, of course, Final Fantasy XIII. I would have loved to have gotten a chance to try out both games, but they were ticketed events because they were so popular. I did get to see the newest trailers for both games though. They look like they should be pretty awesome. I am especially looking forward to FFXIII. Apparently Japan is too because there were already people cosplaying from FFXIII at the Game Show! It was so awesome to see the Japanese cosplayers~. I don't know what it is, but they always look especially amazing. I think the best cosplay I saw was of Vincent's Chaos form from Dirge of Cerberus. The wings were awesome. I was also super excited to see a lone FFXII cosplay. A girl was dressed as a really great looking Balthier. That kind of made my day. That and the Cloud Strife unisex perfume that was available at the Square Enix merchandise booth. Sadly, it was sold out by the time we got to the booth. I wonder what it smells like, lol.

yangwarrior went home this weekend, and I went with her. It was a nice, relaxing weekend. We did practically nothing.

The only thing I accomplished this weekend was beating The World Ends With You. It was a very good game, and I really enjoyed playing it. And now I have a new fandom to explore! I totally ship Joshua/Neku.

immelmanturn, Allison, and Alyssa came by last night. immelmanturn and I practiced our dialogue for our Japanese oral midterm (about Elvis being borrowed by aliens), while we watched the Oscars. It was fun. I was glad to see that Heath got his well deserved Oscar, and to see that Slumdog Millionare took Best Picture. It was the only one of the Oscar nominees that I'd seen, but it was a very good movie. I think immelmanturn and I managed to do a decent job on our dialogue today, as well.

But, now there is tomorrow morning's written Japanese midterm to study for. :P
