Souvenirs

It snowed this morning. I ordered some fingerless gloves and an aviator’s cap from Amazon, and shortly thereafter I found my glove liners. I haven’t used them in a couple of months at least and they weren’t in the reasonable places, so I was happy to find them.

On Monday I did a bit of programming, but since then I have spent my free time playing the idle game or reading. I’m nearly caught up on a Harry Potter and Star Wars crossover. I really like this combination, and most Star Wars fanfiction for that matter, but there aren’t too many of them. Maybe I could try reading the actual published books… but that would cost money.

I’ve been thinking about souvenirs to take home lately. First, I definitely need to get some hanafuda cards. I can probably get them at a second-hand shop, or if I make a special trip then I can definitely get them at Toys R Us. It might be fun to go there anyway, at least once, to see what the Japanese version is like and maybe revisit some of my childhood Christmas spirit. When I went to Nagano on Sunday, I discovered that the Don Quixote across the street has many great souvenirs like sake flavored Kit Kats, sold inexpensively. I need to get a T-shirt for my brother at least, and who else I wonder…

What shall I do tomorrow? I’ll work on the challenges for the idle game, and if I complete them I’ll be able to make my resets 24 hours instead of 12, which should make it a little less time-consuming. I do want to get to the point where my memory program can read a file and display the text. I’ll probably play a bit of Mass Effect also. In the evening I’m going to Matsumoto for an open mic night where Big D will play.
