quality cousin time
Nichole came last weekend! I was so excited to have some one from home visit, especially the family. Even though I was running a little behind, I managed to make it to the shinkansen station just in time to catch her getting off the train. That night we went to the famous tonkatsu place in Sanjo for dinner. Afterwards we hit up the movie theater and the original plan was to see the Fantastic Four that night but it turned out that there wasn't a late showing for that so we saw Cinderella Man instead. It really wasn't too much of a disappointment because we got to the Fantastic Four on Sunday so it all worked out. Oh and for all those disbelievers out there about that movie, it was fantastic.
Saturday we slept in until noon, NOON, and it was glorious. Neither one of us could remember the last time that we slept that late. Then it was a great lazy afternoon of watching movies and bumming around the apartment until dinner time. Melissa and Kate met up with us for dinner so afterwards we could go to a birthday party together. That night was a birthday party for Kogen, Emily's boyfriend, who just turned the ripe old age of 30, although I guessed 25. There was plenty of drinking at Banana Boat, including zima but that is an entirely different story, and after the candles were blown out on an amazing chocolate cake we headed to karaoke. Now obviously the first rule of karaoke in Japan is to be drunk and the second rule would be to stay drunk. With that in mind we keep drinking and singing the night away at karaoke.
After the crazy night we woke up to go get some hung over McDonald's, which by the way was amazing, and then headed back to my place to get ready for the day. Then it was time to hit up Saty, the local department store, where we did our fun little pelicula (little sticker pictures) and played the taiko drum game in the arcade. We tried to find Nichole a souviener but, lets face it, Sanjo isn't exactly a tourist destination. Once the Fantastic Four was done we called it an early night because Nichole's train to Tokyo left the shinkansen station at 7:00 am. It was a great weekend with the cousin! We had plenty of time for family gossip and just generally to relax. I am excited to see her in Tokyo soon, hopefully in a couple weekends.

So that was the best weekend ever! PS I think that you should put a better pic of me up cuz I look like shit!
Looks like you and Nichole has a great time. She's a pretty good singer but I don't know how she does when she's been drinking.
