It's Sunday. Thought it would be a nice and quiet day for me to head to the editing lab and continue editing my top secret one-minute long epic project.
When I woke up, I finished watching the first episode of Torchwood that I dozed off watching the night before (nothing to do with the quality of the show, I was tired). There was a power outage at my place scheduled from 10am to 3pm, figured it was a good time to leave once the power went out.
I walked past Waseda University, I realized that Waseda Festival 2011 was ongoing. The place was utterly crowded. I forgot that the festival was happening throughout the weekend, not just one single day.

I wrote about the festival in 2009 and 2010. In 2010, a maid interviewed me.
