Birthday things
Jun. 5th, 2009 11:50 pmMay I point all those in need of inspiration for my birthday to my Amazon wishlist, a link to which you'll find on the left-hand side of this page. Poetry would be appreciated, and I'd kill for a good book of Guardian crossword puzzles.
In preparation for my birthday, I got my manager to call up a rock bar in Ginza, where I intend to celebrate the impending increase in numbers. All was going well until they realized I wasn't Japanese. "How many foreigners are coming?" they asked sheepishly. (Millions! Millions! To drink your beer, ravege your women, and chase out all the other clientele!!!) Half and half, I confirmed, wondering whether I should take my copious amounts of business elsewhere. When they asked whose party it was (mine) and who was organising it (me), they started tittering away. Apparently, it's not the done thing in Japan to organize your own party, but that's all I've ever done for my birthday, and at least it's done right. I think I may trash their bar just to spite 'em.
So, anyway. I should sew up a hole in one of my dresses. I'm going to see Circe du Soleil (sic) on Sunday afternoon and I should probably look presentable.
