Thursday - Rainy
An okay day.
My earthquake alarm went off this morning before 7:00 am. We did feel the earthquake, but it was only a level 3 here, in Iwate I believe it was a high 6. Not much fun that early in the morning. I went back to bed soon afterwards, F stayed up and got ready for work.
When I got up it was pouring outside. It started raining last night, and has basically rained ever since. There have been brief stops in the rain, but overall it has been a day of rain.
I checked my computer things and then took a nap again. Sigh. I was tired, despite going to bed an hour earlier than usual.
When I got up there was nothing on TV so I did something I’ve been meaning to do all week. I re-watched The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. It was great. It has been ages since I’ve seen it and I wanted to see if it was as good as I remember. It is, I’m happy to say.
After the movie I watched a Cold Case on TV and then Nurse Jackie. It was all good stuff.
Along the way today I read the last two day’s newspapers and had a very yummy tomato and basil(?) bagel for lunch. Very delicious. I also drank a pot of my cold brewed tea. It was so nice and refreshing.
When F came home, he had a lie down and then I joined him. I reminded him that we had to pick up my glasses today and asked if he’d like to go and see X-Men tonight. He said yes to both. Hurray!
We zoomed off in the rain to the glasses shop and picked up my glasses. I hope they’ll be better now. I think I’m going to have to get used to them. After that, we had a quick dinner at Kintaro Sushi. It wasn’t very busy tonight, probably because of the rain.
Then we headed off to the movie theatre. F bought the tickets, but it worked out quite well. It was Ladies night tonight so my ticket was only 1000 yen, and one of our cards was eligible for a free movie, so we got in for 1000 yen. Hurray. F asked the movie staff for me if they’d be interested in taking some of my old Empire magazines. Book Off would only give me 10 yen per magazine for them and I’d much rather donate them to a movie theatre. I realise they won’t be read much there, but you never know. The pictures are gorgeous and they cover a lot of Japanese movies too. The theatre said yes.
Anyway, we watched X-Men First Class, and it was fun. I had seen it before (shhh! I didn’t tell F) but I enjoyed seeing it again. I liked a lot of the characters, and paid more attention to the actors this time.
After the movie, we drove to the grocery store to pick up some things for dinner tomorrow and then came home. My show had already started, so I didn’t watch it. Instead, F watched some of his crap. Bleck.
That was my day basically. It was quite good, it was nice to go out with F again, but I’m tired of the rain, and the rainy season just started. Hopefully we won’t have any earthquakes overnight. Wish us luck eh! Night.

I love The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert! That's been sitting on my shelf for a while, maybe I should get it out and watch it again too. Good idea!
Hope the rainy season passes. I saw on the news how much rain Tohoku is getting :-( Take care!
It's surprising how many people love that film!
Yes, it is raining a lot. We've been getting warnings all morning on the TV. There is a fear of mudslides in mountainous areas.
Thanks for writing :-)
You seem to have lots of rain, I hope there's nothing bad.
Well I checked a word "basil bagel". These days I'm into bagels. Though we can buy them at a usual bakery, I like to go to specail bagels shop. In this city we have two specail home-made bagel shops.
I hope there's nothing bad with the rain either Mieko. This morning the TV had lots of rain warnings though.
The bagel I had yesterday was tomato and basil I think. I'd never had it before. In Canada I could get many different bagels, I used to like raisin bagels. You are very lucky to have stores that sell bagels! Usually I can't find them anymore as they sell out by the time I go to the grocery store.
Thank you for visiting!
