My patterns need to come. Right now. I've had the fabric for almost two weeks. Apparently the store didn't ship them because they needed to take it to the post office to check the shipping and then charge my card an extra 12 dollars. Because that takes a whole week to do, you see. *sigh*

On Saturday capncosmo and I went into Akihabara. Apparently there is a maid cafe where in the theme is trains and they have electric trains that the customers can drive around. However, she being without a computer and having had nothing to write on, had neither map nor address. It became a rather fruitless search. (We did wind up in an Indian place for lunch - and then that same night I saw it on TV. I thought that was rather hilarious.) The cafe we finally chose half met my expectations and half didn't. The girls were all in maid costumes, sure, but they were all different dresses and aprons and the like. A couple weren't even in actual black maid dresses. But we were made to perform the 'becoming delicious magic spells' over our drinks and it was awesome. (Sitting next to us were two guys speaking English loudly and in thick accents. It was very distracting to the conversation.) So now I can say that I have been to a maid cafe, like every good tourist should.

Sunday I cleaned my apartment.

This week is looking to be yet another one of Those Weeks. I don't have a schedule, but it's looking like I don't have the first years today. Tuesday and Wednesday are both the special schedules, where the classes are short and the kids head out early. Not sure about Thursday or Friday yet. And then with the coming weekend, I have 5 days off. (Apparently it's called Silver Week among the business owners.) Not sure what I'm going to do with that aside from dragging capncosmo out to Tokyo Disneyland with me. They've started up a Halloween masquerade in Tokyo Disney Sea, and I really want to see it. It's as close as I'm getting to Halloween this year, and I won't even get to dress up for it. T^T
