Yeah, but I'm taller

Since my last post, I have since discovered that cats treat people of all creed with disdain.

I know this as I recently made a visit to a cat cafe in Ikebukuro. I'd been well aware of them for a while, and I'd been eager to go for just as long, but it's taken me this long to actually go to one. The basic deal is, it's a cafe, with cats in it. You might be able to guess what the emphasis is on. This particular one asked for 1000円 for an hour's time, with as many biscuits as you'd like, and unlimited use of the vending machines. I assumed that was within reason, so I only had one biscuit and some awful tea.

But as I hinted, that feature wasn't really the point. There were about fifteen cats there, all of whom seemed all too used to attention, and never sought people out, they merely lounged around and put up with all manner of people lavishing attention upon them. My particular favourite was one that had it's hair styled to resemble a lion, and went by the name Krillin. It spent about half an hour asleep, but that didn't deter me from finding him wonderful. After typing that sentence I realise that I'm potentially a little too keen on cats, though.

To save myself from rambling about the wonders of cats, I'll instead shift onto how wonderful I find Book Off. I'd been told to find one as soon as possible, and I have visited a number of times since my arrival. Book Off specialises in second hand books, but also have videogames, movies, music, and so on. The thing is, they're almost as good as new, and most books go for a mere 100円.

While I had picked up a videogame from there, and spent a lot of time merely browsing, today I found something that I could not resist. It turns out, there is a section dedicated to translated adaptations of western films and TV shows. Among them, I found Star Wars, Love Actually, 24 and so on, but once I found Speed, I knew that was the one I had to buy.

It was made worth it when I discovered that Keanu Reeves speaks like a very macho badass. That's what keeps me giggling whenever I try reading it.
