About meOysters, birthdays
So I turned 35 yesterday. I’m halfway to 70! which is a really strange way to frame the milestone, probably. My presents included instant noodles from Indonesia (score!), a bottle of champagne (yes!), some iTunes Music Store gift card thingies, an embroidered pillow with scenes from California (thanks mom!), chocolate-covered espresso beans, on and on . . .
Those beans are coming in handy today. Last night Megumi and I went out to dinner at a cool but pricy oyster bar and ate one of everything. (Seriously. We pointed to the fresh oyster selection and got one of each kind. “This page, please.” Surprised the waiter quite a bit. The enormous rock oysters from Toyama and Kyoto were great, and great in size.) I think the meal came to like $300 or something absurd like that, but hey, we’re made of money, right?
This weekend we’ll go do some shopping. Maybe replace the dead digital camera. On Saturday I’ll teach my class from two to five in the afternoon and then head out to the Yoyogi outdoor beer garden to meet some ASIJ people. Mmmm, beer.

It was cool. Expensive, though. Bring your wallets!
