Talk about an easy day. I spent all my time inside today, with only a few pushups and stretches for exercise. I watched three episodes of the new Battlestar Galactica TV series, and I watched Blazing Saddles in the evening.
During the day I peeked in on the election returns, did some laundry, and just tried to rest. All the relaxation has paid off, though. It’s about bedtime and my cold is just about gone. My knee has turned a beautiful yellow and purple, and I have no pain at all now. Tomorrow I’m going in to work and I should be close to 90%.
Watching the election returns via a website was an interesting experience. The web has come a long way, and now I have many kinds of data that I can analyze any way I want. In the end, I’m not sure it means much. In the end, the winner was still in doubt.
Today Kuniko attended the wedding of one of her college friends. The wedding was somewhere in Osaka, and talking with Kuniko on the phone afterwards was interesting. She was able to see everything and decide what she liked, what she didn’t, and take lots of notes. I even lent her my digital camera to take some spy photos.
One last weird thing that happened yesterday – when I was shopping they gave me my change back and the money was different. Completely different, actually. I asked about it, and they said that it went into effect on November 1st. The money is full of anti-counterfeit devices and watermarks, a little more interesting. I’ve only seen the 1000 yen note, but soon I’ll be able to check out the other ones. I’ve always been interested in money and to suddenly have new bills to play with is kind of exciting.
Well, I’m off to do some studies and then get to bed early. I want to be well rested for tomorrow.
