just came back from Tony Roma's. Geeze, I spent something like 15000-en from friday until today for food. what a guy would do for a woman's love. friday i went to that mexican place near my old apartment in Harajuku. La Fonda something or rather. i never realized it was underground. good place. food is really nice. the maraachi band got on my nerves, but everything else was cool. i think this fujika woman at my work doesn't like me. i think i tend to offend many women from osaka with my off beat, heavily sarcastic personality. funny thing is that it seems okay if a non-asian acts like me, but when i do something it's rude. then again she doesn't know and she didn't even pay her part of the bill! freeloader! doesn't bug me. the other three women who came along were pretty cool. one was noguchi-san whom i met for the first time. she's from kyoto and has a really nice personality. the other one is watanabe-san. she's really cool. you know you've met someone cool if she likes south park :) in fact, she likes Anakin Skywalker too! and her last name is Watanabe. hmmmm...... both stayed at my place because it was so late. funny thing is that they trusted me rather than going with this other guy Frank, who was intently trying to pick up Watanabe-san. maybe sometimes nice guys do finish first? either way, nothing much happened but i think they appreciated the fact that they could stay at my place and had some warm blankets and pillows to spare. note to self: must get more couches and futons for guests in the future. yesterday i recovered. end of story. today was really nice. i couldn't resist going out and engulfing myself in the warm atmosphere of the upcoming spring. i walked from my home through Nogizaka, through Aoyama and straight into Omotesando. the usual "traditional" path i would take during my spring ventures through the Aoyama cemetary. saw the first blooming sakura trees as i was heading towards Aoyama. no matter how many times i see it, i'll never tire of them. they're such a gorgeous sight that i absolutely love hanging around them. then i trekked through Omotesando and got my first glimpse of the new Omotesando Hills. it was so crowded that i decided to wait a little more before heading in. so i went through Harajuku to Shibuya just to go to Shinsei Ginko, pick up some quick cash, and then grab some grub at this nice Italian spot. good tiramisu cake. did some writing there before returning the other direction. before that i hit Book 1st just to check out my nerd books. nothing worth buying yet. the f'n Eclipse Cookbook is nothing more than the Eclipse book from O'Reily with a different index. if you want a book on Eclipse, get one or the other. not both! went back through the rear alley of Harajuku. they had a Bump of Chicken concert playing at Yoyogi Sports so the area was crawling with people. i skirted through narrow alleys of humanoids crowding the Harajuku station, before tackling Takeshite Dori just to repeat my old paths out of nostalgia. then i walked up towards Gaien-nishi dori to try walking back. that was stupid since i never realized that the road would grow really tight so after 20 minutes of walking, i ended up taking a shortcut through the graveyard. good thing it was during the day! went home, did some laundry, then headed back towards Tameiki Sanno to meet Yuri and Kan, her friend. found out that Tony Roma's was closed JUST FOR TODAY BECAUSE OF AN ELECTRICAL INSPECTION. what otaku magic!!!! so we went back towards Roppongi to grab some grub. Kan is cool. fun person to hang with. definitely going to hang out another time with the two especially when Kris gets back (get yer lazy arse back here!) good times peeps.
