So, first of all, yay for Arren’s True Name coming up today! :)
Today was a pretty good day, a nice mix of relaxing and productive.
First, I got up at 8:45am and spent some time writing e-mails.
Then I had breakfast and kicked back to watch Moulin Rouge, at Morgan’s recommendation. What a weird and beautiful story.
Then (finally!), I went through The Box, and sorted out the stuff that belonged to Kurt and company, and what was mine. This means I can now send presents to people, after almost 3 weeks of being back.
Afterwards, I headed out to run some errands with Kurt and his Mom. On our way back, she dropped us off at Sushi Garden, for our first taste of Japanese food since the trip. The first weird thing was how quiet the restaurant was. You really get used to a higher (but cheerful) noise level at eateries there. Second, it was weird being able to mix different types of food, like teriyaki chicken and sushi into a single meal. Third, the portions were ridiculously huge. We had to get to-go boxes, which has never happened to either of us at a restaurant. We’re both very happy with this change, as it bodes well for our continued weight loss. Side-note: we also tried some shochu (Japanese vodka), which was one of our few missing experiences over there. It has a very mild and clean taste. I like it.
Finally, I wrapped up the day with another long talk with Morgan, which ranged from military history (phalanxes and gunpowder) to literature (Sense and Sensibility) to more mundane “how was your day” type things. As usual, I enjoyed the talk, but I’ve also started wondering if we shouldn’t also talk about more serious things…
And then she called back and we did talk about more serious things… :”) *looks up at God and quirks an eyebrow* What are You up to?
