Gordon’s official! ゴルドン結婚式
May 28th

Happy
Hey how about that! Gordon made it official. I went to his wedding party this weekend and it was pretty fun. Around 100 people showed up and it was really nice. I got to meet some people from his family, and then drink a lot. We went to three different places. The last one being the most interesting as most of the people went home, and the ones that stayed peer-pressured Gordon to jump into the river at Iidabashi. The people who run the place got angry at us as well. They wouldn’t see us any more drinks after that, because we were being a bother to the other customers. I don’t see why though, as most of the people found out that it was his day, and they congradulated him. Anyways here are some pictures from the famous day. Sorry for the grainy images, I know they suck, but its all I could manage from my camera phone.
ゴルドンは結婚しました！（３月３１日だけどｗ）でも今週結婚式起こりました。凄い楽しかった。人いっぱい来ました。多分１００人位かな・・・三つな所行った。 ゴルドンの家族はちょっと会えた。良い人と思う。最後の所で飯田橋駅の近く川横のバー行ってゴルドンは川に入った！びっくり！あはは 店長さんは凄く怒られたけど・・・お酒も売ってなくてしまった。映像あんまり綺麗じゃないごめん。形態カメラあんまりよくないから。

Bored
Is to sit here at the Immigrations Center in Shinagawa. It is so boring… There is nothing to do here at all. All you can do is just sit here and wait for the workers here to call your number. Which… goes…. so…. s…l….o….w….l….y….. Not to mention ontop of that you need to know where to go in the first place. And while everything they do is in Japanese that is fine, they should be able to speak some English. Sigh… oh well, guess that you can’t have everything. The best part is if I ever want to travel out of Japan I get to come here again and do it all over for my re-entry permit. Joy of joys…

エネルギーを君に上げましょ～ RedBull新発売！

Surprised
Do you need energy? Do you want it? Not too long ago my co-worker told me that they had started to sell Red Bull at the convinience store. Hey great, I thought. To bad that they’re a bit expensive though. 275 Yen with tax for these things. Tad bit high for my tastes since you can get this in Singapore for around 80 Yen or so, and in the US for around 110 yen or so. (For anyone that doesn’t know most normal drinks around here average 120 to 150 Yen.)
エネルギー（入りませんか？） あはは 一ヶ月間前、俺の会社の友達は「７－１１でRedBullを売ってます」って。久しぶり飲んでないから買いに行ったけどたけ～～！２７５円だ～！ シンガポールで８０円位買える、アメリカにも１１０円位。 まぁぁ～ そなにいっぱい飲まないから大丈夫かな？ でも飲んだら凄い起きる感じが来る～ とてもとても眠い時これを試し飲みませんか？？東京以外売ってる分らないけどどこでも７－１１が売ってるはず。飲みましょ～Ц(*=д=)/(ノT-T)ノ

This is diet, this is Japan.

Confused
These are not your normal household Japanese slippers. No… These are magic slippers, because they bring forth diet. And not just any old diet mind you, the Japanese diet. I thought they looked extreemely funny. Here take a look at these pictures.
あはは～このスリッパは面白いよ・・・ｗ 初めて見てなんか「ハイヒール スリッパ」と思ってたけど間違えました！これは「ダイエットスリッパ」と言うです。日本系の「ダイエット」はちょっと理解出来ませんけど(>o<")
To me they look like springy high heel slippers. Makes me think that some of these ladies either need training for high heels so they wear these, or they just love to wear high heels to feel tall.
多分ハイヒールを履きな子が好きかな？だけど実はスプリングがあるのでちゃんと足が運動しなきゃな。でも「ダイエットスリッパ」は品名ちょっと変と思う。「スプリングスリッパ」とか「運動スリッパ」かな「エキササイズスリッパ」が良いと思いますか？でももしその名前使ったら多分誰でも買わないかな？あはは( ｀ー´)ノ
But, in all honesty, I suppose I can see how this helps some as it makes you work your legs more as you’re walking around the house, but still… I never really understand how this is ‘diet’ as called by the Japanese. I suppose saying ‘exercise’ doesnt sound as cachy. Who knows…

Always need to have your random pictures of strange but real Japanese people. You can always meet the silliest people on a Friday night.

For PlayStation 3, Square Enix will release a main version, Final Fantasy XIII, along with another version called Final Fantasy Versus XIII, which features different characters and a different world.
The version for cell phones is called Final Fantasy Agito XIII. The three games will be based on the same worldview, with different characters used to unveil the story.
