So it's my first day of Winter Break. I have courageously battle against them who wished to do me harm and as such had set upon me six tasks of certain destruction. However, wielding nothing but a small wooden device with a lead center I slashed through them all and conquered. Thus, I am enjoying the spoils of battle with hopes to never see them again. But the near future seem to predict dark times with many more battles such as the ones I have just heroically put down.

But today was very exciting. My family traveled to the site of the New Tokyo Tower which should be finished somewhere around 2012 or something like that. It's going to be giant, three-times as tall as the current Tokyo tower. They had this mascot dude standing near it so I got my picture taken with him. I only felt a little bit stupid. After that my family traveled to Asakusa where we visited Sensoji (浅草寺 ) , ate a chocolate covered banana with sprinkles (チョコバナナ ), and went into a Miyazaki-films store. At the store I bought a Totoro magnet set, a Dust Spirit key chain (Totoro), and a Kodama from the movie Princess Mononoke. He's so adorable because he's three inches long and has a vibrating head and bells in his body. Basically he looks like the Kodama in the center of this picture [link]

Tomorrow I will probably have to clean, which sucks. But whatever.
