Manage to duck out of school early. (The other teachers always manage to find some "errand" that needs doing to get away and I follow their example.) I take the train to Beppu, return my video and CD rentals from Daichi Soft City, and wait at Beppu station hoping to run into someone else on their way to Robert's.
Pat shows up on his bicycle. Then Kristen arrives afterward by train from Nakatsu. We take the bus up to Robert's. He lives up toward the mountain in Ogiyama Machi. Pat loses his way a bit and we take a circuitous course through a very nice park. Robert's apartment has a tremendous view. We drink and watch the sunset while Pat makes chili. Robert goes out for more beer. Ted calls and I go meet him. We eat and watch two hours of Twin Peaks, though only Ted and I are really interested. The others decide to go to a party to which some Japanese acquaintance of Robert has invited us.
We go to the party and consume copious amounts of alchohol. Pat amuses us with silly magic tricks. I draw pictures of people but end badly by spilling my beer on the tatami during a laughing fit. Kristen, Pat, and I are driven to Pat's apartment near Beppu Daigaku. I manage to stagger home from there.
