Watching Dota 2 all day

I spent the entire day watching The International 2019, only leaving the house once at 1700 to get some food at Lawson.

Home, Ootsuka: chicken peperonchino pasta, which I bought because I spotted
some broccoli. Close but not quite as good as the regular peperonchino. — Home, Ootsuka: chicken peperonchino pasta, which I bought because I spotted some broccoli. Close but not quite as good as the regular peperonchino.

I thought that I might be able to go to a bouldering gym later at night since I’d seen one in Shinjuku that had cheaper entry after 9pm, but the games ended up finishing at 2200 or so. Elbert went out for dinner by himself since I was busy watching a game, then brought me back some food from FamilyMart.

Rice bento. Not bad except for the rice, which I didn't like. Why can't they
just make it as good as the onigiri rice? — Rice bento. Not bad except for the rice, which I didn't like. Why can't they just make it as good as the onigiri rice?

Famima Sweets branded pudding. Holy shit this was amazing. The sauce has the
bitterness of caramel without the sweetness, and it balances out the rest of
the pudding perfectly. The pudding itself is incredibly soft and creamy. I tried
eating it with the same fork that I used to eat the bento, but the pudding was
slipping through the prongs. — Famima Sweets branded pudding. Holy shit this was amazing.

After watching this tournament I definitely want to wake up earlier so that I can eat lunch at good sushi places without paying exorbitant amounts, and so that I can do touristy stuff during the day like walk around gardens and parks.
