GEORGE X4 so here we go again, another day of humidity with our recurring mental patient george. ellen and i have a few special purchases to take care of. now before you get excited, by special we mean specific, not hallucinatory. george takes us to tokorozawa area for shopping. i loathe this activity but its either that, or go drink and eat, and ellen and myself have tried to swear that off our list, unsuccessfully. when you meet people, there's not much else to do. we stop by venda, which is a neat local cd/dvd shop and we get our first introduction to gorie "pecori night". gorie is a cross-dressing cheerleader singing a song about sex, of all things. if you haven't seen the music video, it's interesting, i feel as though i'm watching some twisted version of s-club-7 in japanese, and the translation is distorted. we move on to a department store but cannot find the things we need so we move on. ellen parts with us to go home, george and i move on to bushi to check out a recycle shop. i hope for a digital camera but no good deals. however the place is very nice. goodwill, eat your black little heart out.
next, kayoko's brother runs a small izakaya in higashi yamoto. it's a fancy affair with space for 8 to sit and 5 at the bar. the kitchen is so unbelievably small. however, he produces the most exquisite dishes of such beauty, it drew great sentiment from me. george took a picture with his cellphone, but he is yet to figure out how to send it. maybe i'll never get it. another night of eating and drinking. oi.
