Saturation Point

This is the contraption that I have to build in order to make glasses fit my big head. How long should I stretch them for? The frames are plastic.

Pat POV

Getting enought to eat and releasing stress

I think I neglected to mention that I've now been in Tokyo for a year. Not sure what to say. I guess what I have been saying is enough.

Actually, here is a picture of me in August 2008 where I look skinny as f@ck.

I'm not sure if it's the angle, lighting or altitude, but thank god I don't look like this anymore, nor do I feel as stressed as I did when that picture was taken. August was the height of my stressed period as I was looking for an apartment (July being the homesick/depression period) and the weather was just stupid hot. So add all that up and you get that picture.

i don't know how much I weigh now, but I feel alright. It's true. I do need another year here, now that I've gotten a handle on things. The first year was to get my feet wet; now it's time to really have some fun.

Did you know that I can hear my upstairs neighbour's phone vibrate?

Burritos, Brunch, M. Bison (Or Biking, Bingo, and Bromance)

Nobody sits in public in Tokyo. So when two foreigners are sitting, eating frozen creampuffs and drinking beer, you better call the cops.







Avacado and mashed potatoes. I DARE you.

Dziekanski-esque. Too soon?


Heading home in style (bus).


Well we did it. A whirlwind week has come and gone. We spent $15 on Street Fighter IV in two nights only to be kicked out of the arcade because they were closing (the arcade attendent would come running shouting "Dame! Dame!" after I already put my 100 yen coin in the slot). We karaoke'd. We Hanami'd. We had burritos for dinner and burritos for breakfast (technically fajitas). We biked and biked and biked and ate frozen creampuffs and beer and biked and then saw Watchmen and biked and drank 3 doubles in one hour at my favorite bar and biked and got some McDonald's and biked. We picture-clubbed. We okonomiyaki'd. We watched a bartender do his 'impression' of Doraemon. We visited a major shrine and stumbled onto a neighbourhood one. We watched AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe vs. Christopher Daniels on YouTube while drinking Canadian Club. We ate 740 yen beef jerky at Wrestling Cafe Tokyo. We ate Indian Curry for breakfast. We went shopping for Pat only to find out that nothing fits him in Japan.

So far, sooo good

WOULD
NEVER
HAPPEN

I've seen this 'broken tap' scenario in 3 different textbooks. Unless you've stupidly clogged your drain with something, a running tap is never anything to panic about.
