INDEPENDENCE

TO PARAPHRASE MY GOOD FRIEND BOLITA, I AM INDEPENDENT ONLY IN FINANCE; IN FRIENDSHIP, SPIRIT AND SUPPORT, I AM FAR FROM IT. BUT HOW LUCKY AM I TO BE ABLE TO COUNT MYSELF AS SOMEONE WHO CAN DEPEND ON IDEAS, PEOPLE, CULTURE AND COUNTRIES WHILE I PURSUE MORE INDEPENDENCE?

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY INDEPENDENCE DAY FROM TOKYO!

OSHOKUJI

I have started to eat well!!!!

This could be a sign of my mental health recovering, although I am still (perhaps a bit) shaky.
Shaky from severe A.D.D. and clausterphobia... Oh no, wait, that's Paris Hilton!!
I mean, shaky from the Break-Up. (No further comments >_< gomen...)

So anyway, as it has always been and probably always will, the way I eat reflects my mental health, precisely.
When I am happy, I eat well.
When I'm unhappy, I eat horribly: snacks, take-out, soda, eating all the time, etc.
I am obviously not of the type that lose weight when stressed out.... For better or worse, I don't know but...

I'd like to post some photos of my meals to encourage myself to continue eating well.

The other day I made hamburgers, mashed potatoes (with white miso--recommended, peeps!) and shimeji and cabbage stir-fry with ponzu. For dessert, assam tea jelly--it did harden the second time around--it was fragrant and light and good.

Good food = good health!!!

HELLO

Recent happenings, peeps.

Vasner it is. You guys are so clever. You think this vase/pilsner can multi-task it, do ya?? Well me too. Not at the same time, preferably, but... well, okay, maybe. The Vasner awaits my return from work as I type.... Oh Vasner!! You hold my 500 ml cans-o-beer perfectly! And my long-stemmed dahlias, too!

Ninapod and I attended a former manager's Fiesta Mexicana a few weekends ago. They have the cutest kids ever. I remember when #1 was born, as the manager was at work that day as was I. We started the shift knowing his wife went into labor, and ended it knowing they had a little girl! Now the little girl is five years old, and is as sharp, beautiful and kind as the best five year olds are. Plus, we could see our house from their house. Fancy.

I also went on a bike ride around Odaiba, where I saw my house again! The ride was amazing and I would like to do it regularly. Biking is kind of like skiing--namely, I love it. It's got the speed, the mechanics and the one-with-nature feeling.

(that is not my house, in case you thought I lived on cargo crates. Ha ha, you!)

Genius Boy at work is creating the most handsome, beautiful, interesting English news program about Japan for anyone interested in Tokyo Life from around the world. We are working 24/7 on it but we stills gots lots to do. I can't wait to show you.

I CAN'T WAIT TO SHOW YOU!!
