Brief Notes

I'm sleepy. Mostly because I can't sleep at night. And even less by day.

I've been to a Chinese restaurant where the serving obasan was so surprised I could say a sentence in Chinese that I got a free jasmine tea, free rice - and free iced oolong tea for the whole table of four. I was embarassed, especially the way my Japanese companions kept semi-enviously teasing me.

I've gone to another monthly boardgaming meeting. It was fun. I managed to explain Red November in (something similar to) Japanese. Much hilarity ensued, even if I couldn't explain about "gnomes" and why everything was going to hell in a handbasket.

I've seen the first season of True Blood. Props to Paquin, but Sookie is way better in the book. But Vampire Bill rocks on screen.

I need to find time to go to Akiba by day. I decided my back is worth ~¥6000.

Well, your years of learning chinese finally paid off :)

Dunno about Red November, but I am wondering what are you gonna buy for 6000Yen for your back? You did not complain about back problems before, so I'm a bit perplexed and worried...
