this weekend was pretty fun. Lots of stuff went on as it's basically the end of the year. Was out and about all weekend. Natsuyo's boyfriend came in from LA and brought a little treat with him which he shared with me. It was quite nice, as it's been a long time since I've had anything medical grade. Friday night I went out to this new club that opened up. The lounge area was quite cool, but the clientele was the same as at mairo, the other club, which owns this new one (called Minority for some reason). I managed to really piss a girl off that me and Creampuff were talkin to cause I told her Toyama people were very rude and they think they're at the top of the world, but Toyama is a tiny place in Japan, and Japan is smaller than California. Creampuff also chimed in that Tokyo was much nicer and the people were much nicer than the inaka-jin (country folk) here in Toyama. She spoke pretty good english, but we pissed her off, it was kinda funny. After that we ended up at Maxx, which is owned (or operated by, dunno if he's the owner) by this rad Brazillian guy I like named Maoro. it was a slow night there, but I was flirting with a russian chick with big ta-tas all night so that was fun, until her friend made her leave.
Saturday night I was out and about again. Had a double date with BB and two chicks, and it was awesome. Hard to flirt with a girl who knows absolutely zero english, but I did my best, and it went over pretty well. Helps that the friend likes Billy a lot, and she was cheering for me (too bad BB doesn't like her, hehe). We started at an izakaya than went to Pot Still, then ended up at Maxx again. Maoro bought us all shots, which was tight of him. That almost never happens in this country, usually the bartenders ask you to buy THEM shots, which is all fuxed up and back asswards.
Anyway, I gotta head back to immigration sometime this week to complete my visa renewal process, which should be... fun? I get to miss half a day of work which is nice, and the weather has been beautiful of late, so that'll be nice, though I'll be spending it on a bus to and from the airport rather than at my desk so not much of an improvement.
Brent and I turned BB on to this thai restaurant near me, so I've been gorging myself on that recently. Forgot what spicy food is supposed to taste like, it's fantastic.
