Happy 4th everyone!
Mine was spent working… Woo…
But it’s ok. Not much you can do and I AM in a foreign country so…eh. Though I will have to admit…it’s about has hot and humid as some years in Cleveland. Though I wasn’t in a suit walking around with a laptop then! It’s nasty humid today. Ew…
Funny thing about the heat though. The G8 Summit is next week here in Tokyo as I have mentioned before. But I found out today on the news that for some reason, whenever the G8 is here, the spouses of the world leaders tend to bow out from coming. Even this year about 4 of them dropped out with various excuses. Looking back at who came when, it seems Japan is far from the world leader spouse’s top list…
So naturally they had the “experts” chime in on why they think that is and the popular opinion is, “it’s too hot”… Nice… Needless to say we’re a bit miffed about this… Just a bit… :/
Ha.
Anyway, besides working, I had a tasty dinner at a popular Chinese diner (rice, authentic style sweet and sour chiken, and gyoza). It’s one of those tiny places where you are crammed in at a counter and the food comes out in like 2 minutes. But damn it’s good. But damn was it HOT. Truly one of those places where, it’s good enough to sweat through the dinner :) Then blew money at the arcade where I had NO luck today…couldn’t drop a damn thing… Did some shopping (new Vampire Hunter D volume came out and I needed to get a few boxer briefs since I miscounted…oops…and a travel bag so I can take my laundry home tomorrow) and stopped by the 7-11 for snacks and a drink.
So, I will drink to the birth of the USA with a can of lemon chu-hi and peanuts and rice crackers. Mmmm.
The chu-hi is basically Japanese gin (shochu) with real lemon juice and a dash of soda. So kinda like a Zima. But tastier. I think at least. Only about 6% alcohol so it’s just a nice drink while watching TV.
The one great thing about tonight is that since it’s the 4th back in the US, I can go through the night without fear of any nasty e-mails I need to deal with! Of course it’s 7:30pm on a Friday and I am still getting e-mails from Japan like it’s the middle of the day in the middle of the week (these guys are insane…INSANE) but at least I can sleep without any anxiety. Happy about that.
Hope all of you readers in the US have a great holiday weekend and for everyone else a great weekend none the less!!!!
