Wednesday - Hot and sunny, cool at night.

A good day.

I got up fairly early this morning and got dressed right away. I left the apartment without even making the bed and hopped on my bike. I rode over to the movie theatre and went to see X-Men: First Class. I just made it to the theatre on time, grabbed my popcorn, found a seat and watched the film. I enjoyed it. I’m an X-Men fan, but I’m not a rabid one and I’ve never read the comic books, so if they changed things around I didn’t really care. I know I had a good time at the movie.

After the film, I left the theatre and went downtown. I left the theatre parking a different way and discovered that I was really close to the temple where F’s father’s remains are. I’ll have to keep that piece of info in mind.

I went to S-mall and thought about having lunch. I could have gone to the hotel for their lunch, but decided to just have a sandwich and tea in Doutors. I was finishing up my lunch, and reading Mrs. Pollifax on the China Station when an older lady came over to me and asked if I was Helen. I said I was and she introduced herself. She was one of F’s Aunts I think. Not the one he hates obviously, but a nice one. We tried to chat a little buy my Japanese is so bad that I couldn’t say very much. Still, it was nice of her to stop by and say hello. Most of F’s family avoids me like the plague!

I bought a few things in the mall and then headed home. I got home just in time to watch the last half of Clash of the Titans, the old 80’s one. You know, it was schlocky and dumb, but it was a lot more fun that the Sam Worthington version last year!

I had a nice afternoon at home by myself and read more of my book. I watched TV, played on my computer and just enjoyed myself.

F didn’t come home until after 8 pm tonight. He’d had to drive to Yamagata today. We went out for dinner to Coco Ichibanya. It was nice. I had a curry doria and a salad, F had curry and rice. We came home via the grocery store, where we picked up a few things, but not a lot. We decided to go shopping for dinner food tomorrow night.

We came home and had a quiet time together. F was tired from his long day out and me from my early start. I finished my book and loved it. I had read the Readers Digest version of it before, but now I can say that I’ve read the novel.

Tomorrow, I’m not sure what I’m going to do, but I might do laundry, start my journal column or go out! Or a combo of all three. That might be fun. Tune in tomorrow and find out. Night!
