christmas eve with Ami

9:16am JST Thursday 25 December 2008 (day 14155)

After work yesterday, I met Ami under the giant spider statue in 六本木 and we went to one of her favorite local restaurants, a pizza place where we chowed a yummy yummy yummy yummy four cheese pizza! Its crust didn't compared to Star Pizza in Houston, but I certainly enjoyed the cheeeeesie cheese. Wow!

After that, we successfully navigated past all the club owners who were ushering people into their clubs on our way to ドンキー, where I wanted to buy toothpicks for Marble Track 3. For MT3 I ended up with toothpicks and some little bamboo skewers. For my teeth I got some new brushes for my electric tooth brush (a damn ripoff, though: $20 for two (plus a ton of damn packaging), whereas the brush itself is sold for $19, including one brush) (Ami tried to explain the cost in terms of the company not making much money cause they won't sell a lot of the electric parts compared to the brushes. But can't the brushes be the same price as a toothbrush? Yeah it's got a moving head and stuff, but I can't see that it costs more than about 20 cents to make one.)

Ahem, anyway, also got some chapstick which was in a more appropriate price range.

Headed home on 日比谷 line to 中目黒 and then my line to 元住吉. Ami walked home with me and had a last adventure before Fred arrives (and then I'll be in Kagoshima), but I'm sure we'll sort out a time or two to interact.

Because her bike was still at 平間 station, she had to walk there. I surprised her at the top of the hill over the tracks with TJ Bike, ready to roll her quickly down the hill and to her bike area. "Merry Christmas, 亜美ち! This is your first present." and then somehow we worked out that it was her third present. Me riding to get her, a couple of smooches at the top of the hill, and then giving her a ride to the station, were 1, 2 and 3, respectively.

At the bike area, we both wanted the other to leave first (I honestly don't give a rat's ass, but it's fun to try to make her go first).. so that was her fourth present: that I left first.
