Dream

9:56am JST Monday 29 December 2008 (day 14159)

Decided to give to Jason some of the pins I had because he said he liked them and wanted to get some. I collected a few and then was looking for a way to wrap them. I opened a refrigerator and found a cake box with a cake that had been largely eaten, so I figured I could stab the pins into pieces of cake and give them to him that way. I started to pull the cake apart, but it was really sticking to my fingers more than breaking apart, and then I noticed a hone bee inside the piece of cake. Then I noticed it wasnt cake at all, but a honey comb! There were bees all through it, and a couple of them were still alive! I wondered how the had made a comb with stripes of grass instead of wax, for that's what the comb looked like. One of the bees stung me as it had gotten semi crushed against my finger as I was pulling the cake apart, so I was trying to unstick the sticky bits from my fingers and repair the comb and undo the damage I had done to it, and put it back in the refrigerator because it was obviosly *not* the remains of a cake as I had suspected. One of the bees flew away, but I chose not to try to recover it. I wondered if the bees would be better of being left outside, and if it was better to respect the bees needs or the human who had put the comb in the refrigerator.

Shibuya with Akiko, Ami, and Fred

6:44pm JST Monday 29 December 2008 (day 14159)

Met up with Akiko at Hachiko at 5pm and chowed at a nearby Okonomiyaki shop, where Akiko assured me that we did *not* eat monja-yaki with Rimi in Shinjuku. Fred flirted a tiny bit with the girls right next to us as they were tilting their heads like dogs over their food. The dudes at the table before them had been smoking pretty effectively, but there was a nice draft sending the smoke away from me, so I didn't complain. The two ギャル at the table near them had been semi-chatting, smoking, and sleeping at the table.

We had a couple okonomiyaki, monjayaki, and another okonomiyaki. Fred had umeshu (at my recommendation (I wanted one, but chose to continue my non-drinking campaign)) and really liked it. Ordered another.
