Pretty Tasty
Last night I watched some figure skating with Eda, and it was interesting to watch it with someone who actually knows about technique! I can tell if a jump looks good or not, and I'm great at complaining about the between-jumps bits being boring, and making fun of the costumes (ugh, that neon green monstrosity with the sideways bow, DIE!), but that's about it. And Eda confessing her secret desire to be a large Russian figure skating coach wearing a huge fur coat and lots of bling totally made my evening. <3
This morning, I suddenly had a violent, inexplicable craving for poutine. I could practically taste it! I almost want to go out and find a Becker's, though their poutine is but a pale imitation of the real thing...
Mmm, speaking of cheese, I'm very excited to be going to Europe for my annual family Golden Week vacation*. Because you know what they have in Europe? CHEESE! Lots and lots of delicious cheese. And I will eat it all. :D
First up on the Get Stuff Done! project, I'm going to give myself a sticker for every picture post, either livejournal or Travelpod. I would also give myself one for getting to bed before midnight, but seriously? Pfffffft! Like that's ever going to happen! XD
So here's for a sticker, for my yet-to-be-created sticker sheet! ^o^
Last winter, it took Tabitha a month or so to migrate up from sleeping between my feet (where she is most useful on cold nights!) to sleeping by my chest. This year, she refused point-blank to settle anywhere except by my torso, and even took to burrowing under the top blanket to make herself a warm little nest. This confused me greatly at first, when I opened my eyes and could see no cat on top of the blanket, though I could definitely feel her lying beside me!
A few weeks ago, I had a semi-lazy Saturday. I say "semi" because I had an appointment at the dentist's, then met up with angelachibayuy and her boyfriend in Ginza, to eat dessert.
That afternoon, in Inokashira Park...
In Shibuya...
In my mind, this scene is a prominent part of the mosaic that appears when I think, Japan.
I'd never eaten a kumquat before, but I did that evening, at the Berry Café. I ate several, in fact! They were as good as they look! ^_^
Speaking of the Berry Café, I can't for the life of me find my card for a free slice! It is most vexing. I've been through all my papers twice, and I still can't find it. I'll try one last time tomorrow, since the card expires this weekend, but I'm afraid it might have accidentally gotten mixed up with papers to be recycled. If so, it's long gone... -__-;;;
Next picture post will feature the fifty seven desserts I consumed in Yurakucho a couple of weeks ago.
* Ten days, starting in Vienna and ending in Berlin, with stops in Prague and any other place that strikes our fancy in between! Gotta get me an international driver's license so I can get us to those in-between places. I'm excited!
