In other news, I drank curry flavoured soda pop last night. Sachi picked me up a bottle of the putrid stuff. She also picked up a bottle of fried-octopus dumpling soda pop as well. Also bad.
I love not working on Monday. Everyone is practically suicidal on such mornings. But I sleep in. Drink a coffee. Shut-out the world.
Currently watching *Atonement.* Pretty accurate movie thus far. I had to read the book a couple of times to get into it. The first time I remember describing it as pages and pages of people getting ready for dinner. But it is a brilliant piece of something.
Crashed at Sachi's last night. Coincidentally, she lives about 15 minutes away from my place by bicycle. We are practically on the same street. But we are on very different train lines. That's the Tokyo works. Different train, different world. And you wouldn't think twice about it.
Sachi made me breakfast: egg, bacon, and tomato on toast before she left for work. Score! Drank down a couple of coffees and ate the food she had made.
I want to go to Korea next month. I have a free plane ticket. Russell is moving to an island off the South of South Korea. I am taking some unpaid vacation leave -- about a week -- at the end of July. But I'll be seeing the fattest paycheck of my life at the end of July, so should be okay. And in September I have a full month's paid-vacation. I didn't want to take un-paid leave, but I do need some summer time.
