the tigers are visiting the A’s this week and i thought it would be a good opportunity (although they are coming again later in september) to watch them play.  it was my first time at the coliseum, and the rumors about how crappy and empty the stadium is… they were all true.  on second thought… the stadium wasn’t that bad, but the crowd was pretty weak even for a tuesday night.  regardless, i didn’t mind at all as i got one of the best seats ever… and the tigers won!

i also made beef katsu for lunch for the first time… it turned out well, muhahahaha.

coworker: “oh you packed lunch?”

looks at my lunch

c: “oh no, you bought lunch”

me: biggest smirk ever
