Totally lazy day! Loves it! Basically just hung out in the kitchen with the cats: watched some weird Japanese TV, returned various emails, cooked a bunch of different things, read some Norman Mailer. The day's goal was to make potato salad for when Sage got home from work, but I ventured into the Dante-esque HELL that is Outside -- fuckin' hot -- only to find that the supermarket didn't have celery OR radishes OR pickles. Which was weird cuz usually they DO have celery, ridiculously overpriced -- about one Canadian dollar PER STALK. Sage is worth it, obviously, but there was nothing there, so I bought a bottle of wine, went home, drank a bit of it, and went to bed early.
Awoke around midnight to some missed calls, most of them from the Lover. He'd been round to give me back my Taspo:
This is a card you have to use when buying cigarettes from vending machines. How I got it is a jolly good tale, but not for tonight. Anyway, he said he'd left the Taspo outside my front door in a flower pot, and when I went to look there was also a packet of Marlboros and a bottle of perfume. Nice. :) SO nice, actually. But now I can't sleep and it's STILL too damn hot and I worry because I have to go to the Immigration Office in Shinagawa tomorrow but I don't know where it is.
