so it was Mickey Mouse's birthday yesterday. which also happens to be mine =)
he turned 90, so i don't feel quite so old turning 28.. although my knees feel about 90.

on the weekend i pretty much had the same drinks/j-food/karaoke dealie as i would normally have in Sydney.. but in Japan so it was doubly awesome. theres not much to tell, it wasnt really all that newsworthy, so heres some snaps.

on my actual bday we headed to Jusco to go to a small restaurant which features the "Special Super Jumbo Parfait". It was large.. but it didnt have as much ridiculous additions as id hoped for. i mean it had ice cream and cream and fruit and corn flakes and jelly, but sadly no ice cream cone, or creme caramel pudding or slice on cheesecake in the top. We'll have to find another bigger parfait some place =p

afterwards we got purikura, the machine was pretty lame as it had these templates designed for 2 ppl.. and we had 6 ppl. blergh. It did have the cool feature where you can send each picture to your phone by IR, so you can get an e-copy of them too. plus it was only 300円 so i guess i cant complain too much.

this week i learnt that the head of the english department at my school is exactly one day other than me, his DOB is 17-11-1980. Head of English department in a medium sized japanese town.. seems like he may have achieved something in his 28 years.. and i have um...
