A Very Nice Day
Jun. 16th, 2007 07:42 pmToday has been a very nice day. I got a fair amount done, clocked my writing for
novel_in_90 (in two weeks I've only missed 1 day, and I caught up immediately!), got a dress I love at Goodwill for $2.50 (got two bags of things at Goodwill for about half the amount that one of the items originally cost, according to it's still-attached tag), had a really good work out in which I beat the hell out of a lot of my old "records" (including doing 3 miles in less than 30 minutes on the elliptical)...
...and I think I know where I want to live in Tokyo! I want this one.. It's very small and a little expensive but it has a really good location (nice neighborhood, close to multiple major train lines) and it's about 1/4 of a mile from a Bookoff. No, I didn't pick it ONLY because of it's proximity to the bookstore, but it was a definite factor - it's closer than any of the other potential locations I looked at, though two others were within a kilometer (I keep having to remind myself that I'll have to go metric while I'm there ;) ). It took me FOREVER (in this case, forever = approx. an hour) to sort through the Japanese on Bookoff's web page so that I could figure out where their branches were, but I finally pulled it off.
And the whole time I giggled because the place I want to live is on the Yamanote line. If the Dragons of Earth show up, my apartment is totally going to be one of those buildings next to the line that blows up, we're only a 3 minute walk to the entrance. I hope I get this one! :)
