To those who wait

Good-, nay, great things do come to those who wait. And I waited for this bike for almost 2 years.

Written about on this blog, on my birthday, last year but wanted ever since its launch in 2010.

A very sought after bike, sporting everything I’d want in one (after some minor additions to it). It is a thing of joy.

All I need now is some bike garment wear that allows me to plow through the city in this increasingly harsher weather: I shall be  biking. I especially like biking at midnight, btw. I’ve all of Tokyo for myself, people are not in the way in, say, the stairs. Add to that sudden smaller epiphanies when the whole city shows a side not that many get to see.

Since it cost a minor fortune, what with the animal tail illustrations on the shocks plus the word “pro” in the model name and all, I couldn’t help but to feel slightly guilty for getting something this fancy for myself. So I got Becky a bike too:

Here/There – Wednesday morning

…Yokohama, food (everyone skips the booze except for me) and a trip to the beach in the early morning. Everyone’s tired, someone’s trying really hard to hit on someone in the group, why did I bother to go…

Anyways, it was fun. But again, I wasn’t really into it.

At 8 in the morning and we’re heading back. At 9 or so I get to work, sleepdeprived and really not in the mood.

Fight eyes from shutting, dozes off once or twice but only for a second.

Write grad-work with left hand while laying out boring old press releases using the computer to the right side of me.

Around 7 or 8 in the evening I’m done with work and surprisingly not sleepy anymore.

I go shopping for a book but ended up buying a jacket, jeans, more, instead. It’s freezing.

Got home, stay up until 1 at night writing a blog. Hit the publish button with my forehead (previous entry…Geisai Saturday, maybe?)

Yamanakako – Tuesday

…continuing. When were we leaving said lodge? 9? 10? 2? Breakfast was at 8, I distinctively remember that because…it was distinctively few hours between sleep and food.

Onsen, biking around the pond close to big mister Fuji himself, local food, so on. Wasn’t really into it. See I hardly know these people that well.

Be my mood killah beeeeibiiiiiii

(The cameraman gets shut out. The tiny piece of gray t-shirt on the left is me, if you’ve wondered. Sure you were)
(Takaisou Takaisou Fu – Ji – SaaaAAAN)Oh, instead of heading home today someone suggested staying up all night still playing around. Technically, that’s tomorrow. Anyways, so we did…

Beach & Onwards

We went to the beach at Tsujido a couple of weeks ago (right before Fukuoka). 6 in the morning, right after a club.

Finally got some pictures from it, but too hungover right now to write anything coherent about that day. Maybe next time jah?
