I thought I might try to catch up on everything that’s been going on the past few weeks, but it’s not going to happen. There’s simply too much to write. Or remember, for that matter.
Quite a whirlwind, really. Spring seems to bring with it a parade of parties and events and other fun and games, and I’ve been completely swept up in it all.
There was the hanami season, covered briefly earlier, plus dinner parties, afternoon weekend raves, Friday Bloody Fridays, and quite a few dates.
After posting those ads in Metropolis (see the main site for details) I’ve been deluged with responses and offers for dates. It started out as a simple ruse, but now I’m thinking I may as well, y’know, make the best of it. Especially since some of these women are fucking gorgeous! Why didn’t I think of it sooner?
The fun, it never seems to end.
I’ve also started writing for the Japan Times, starting with a three-part series on broadband. I wasn’t sure about the time commitment involved, but now I know, and it’s worked out to WAY more than I expected. Still, it’s good to be writing something people will actually read (unlike, for example, this sporadically-offered pap).
Anyway, the idea is that I’ll write a few pieces and then move into a weekly column of my own. All I have to do now is come up with a name for it…
I’ve been drinking lots of sake lately now that the air is growing warmer and reishuu tastes so damn good. I just wish there were a way to avoid the paralyzing hangovers the next day.
Today’s photo features Matthew, a budding sake aficionado or simple alcoholic, depending on how you categorize such things, about to savor one of the “milky” sakes available in this wonderful Takadanobaba izakaya…
