Weekend of the Phage

Sooo it was finally tine for Phage( a.k.a Aaron Quade) to come visit my neck of the woods and so on January 9th in the early part of the afternoon I picked him up from Kurobe train station and immediately went for lunch. I took him to a place not too far from my house known as きときとすし(KitoKito Sushi). Though I am use to the sushi here in Kurobe, I bragged to him that we had some of the best. Once he tired the sushi he nodded in confirmation and continued eating. After talking, catching up and expressing how tired we both were Phage had ten empty sushi plates piled in front of him and a full stomach. After lunch we went back to my place and chilled for about an hour or so. It wasn't long before it was time to drive to Uozu (the town over) and meet up with people at Indira for dinner. To my surprise and delight pretty much everyone showed up for this get together and in all there were about fourteen of us there. It was good times indeed, talking about random things and introducing Phage to my friends. Also things tend to go well when you have delicious Indian food in your stomach as well. After successfully filling up most continued on with the night and made their way over to SunPlaza and to the karaoke place. Karaoke as always was entertaining, and it lasted about three hours. I even tried out or attempted to try songs I never sing before. Simply so I wont be singing he same thing every time I end up going to Karaoke! So that was our night. Gotta home around 12:30 and after some random foods and talkins we hit the bed.

So this was a sloooow day. Got up alittle before noon, and stayed in the bed chatting with friends on AIM from the the states while Phage studied for his kanji final. Nevertheless this held our attention until Mabe hopped on skype and then for the next two or so hours we spoke with him and the others that happened to be at his house(for movie night) or stop in ( Steve, Renaldo, Andrea, and Vincent). Needless to say we didn't actually get out of bed till roughly 6pm and that was mostly because the need of food was dire. Originally we were going to get more sushi ( because Phage could not get enough) but the line was nearly out the door. So instead of doing that we went to Pizza Jamboree and had pizza there. One we ate I took him to the local game store and we wandered the place for nearly two hours, thirty-five minutes were devoted for looking through the porn sections. Truth be told the art in that section was fantastic. Then again bad draw hentai just seems like a bad idea, least for selling purposes anyway. After a few things were purchased ( and no, no hentail was bought) we hit up the convience store grabbed a few things and headed back home. Once home it was a combination of playing video games (Heavenly Sword and Folklore) and chatting it up with Mabe until nearly 6am in the morning. I was then were we figured sleep should happen so we could get up and get Phage to the train station to return to Osaka.
January 11th
Early morning for a late night. Slowly we headed out at noon to try sushi AGAIN. Luckily for Phage they were able to take us and sat us at the bar. The men behind the bar were quite fun to talk to and were very pleased with us American gaijin for some reason. I'm glad it happened since was the last bit of Toyama Phage was going to see. Once we finished I drove him to the train station, wished him good luck on finals and his travels, and farewell. Hope you had a good time Phage!!!

  1. I'm glad it was fun for you. It definitely seems like a good time. Looking forward to seeing phage again next month. I shall look forward to trying this "amazing" sushi you and Phage are bragging about sometime, lol. Keep up with the blogs though, they are thoroughly enjoyed by more than just I. I shall speak to you later when things die down a bit.
    Much Love,
    Asahi

  2. Sounds like you guys did have fun again. I'm jealous you're eating pizza so often. haha I only tried home-made pizza, but it was awesome. Now that Phage is back we met at his party and have been talking Japanese nonstop. :D
