    Don't Go Outside Much Really (FYI, Holiday Decorations Are Up)

    Yep, too many games coming out, too little time to play them all...

    An amazing feat: This week I left my house three times during the week and ventured far from my house. It's a given that I must leave the house on the weekend — typically going on some sort of outing so my family doesn't go mental. Sure, during the week, I go to the nearby park and play daily games of soccer with Mini-Bash. But getting on a train or driving further than the supermarket? Doesn't really happen!

    This week, I went to Tokyo, Shinsaibashi in Osaka and Umeda in Osaka. Amazing. While out of my work hovel this week, I saw that Christmas decorations are starting to go up. Too quick! Some shops have Halloween decorations (a holiday that is getting bigger and bigger every year), but like tonight, I saw those being taken down and holiday ones going up. That means the country will get about two months of Christmas music before shoehorning in Japanese New Year's in late December.

    I really should go outside more. Really.
