Boukenshousetsu: Happy Halloween

After the movie and lunch Jessi returned to her costume making and I to my room. I desperately needed a shave and had forgotten to get to it before going to see the elementary school children. Though where I had thought facial hair would frighten then a little, they actually seem fascinated by it. My beard has received a fair share of tugs since coming to Japan.

I may not have mentioned this, but there is no electrical outlet in my bathroom, and I use an electric razor, shaving therefore is a task for a hand mirror and a plastic bag while on the floor. Still it is a simple pleasure I enjoy.

I dawdled in my room until dinner time where everyone was to meet, and after dinner ducked into an empty room to change into my Halloween outfit. A super hero costume of my own design, complete with a 80's sentai scarf seeing as it is Japan. I hid a small speaker up my sleeve and hid the control for it in my glove, and thus had my own theme music which was on a loop of "I Need a Hero", "Kryptonite", and "Thriller".

As I waited for Jessi, I noticed a damsel in distress, a girl was frustrated at a dull eyeliner pencil. "If only someone had a pencil sharpener". Being a writer major, I natuarally had one in my bag and was able to save the day. It wasn't long before Jessi arrived, and her Can Can girl outfits really knocked everyone's socks off.
