Missed opportunity

12:16pm JST Sunday 19 April 2009 (day 14270)

Dang. dang dang dang dang

I got off the train in Shibuya, and while walking up the platform, I noticed an elderly gentleman snoozin' on the train. He had some luggage... Ah! with PB tags on it! The ship must have just gotten back today! I gently woke him up, "yo yo yo this is the last stop, wake up, jack!" or something, and helped him get his luggage off the train. I was like, "PB? me too PB; it was so fun!!! thank you thank you" several times as I shook his hand, and he thanked me and I know what it's like to rejoin Tokyo after 3.5 months of virtual paradise travel...

But I "had to get to lunch" with Jesse at 12:30, so I left the guy to his stuff on the platform.

Gah!!! I shoulda carried it! I shoulda seen him off to his next connection!! What was I thinking????

Jesse et al ain't even here at Monsoon yet, so I coulda spent 10+ minutes with the guy and perhapse made a new friend and really help him out, and still be on time!!!

I went down into the parking garage next to Monsoon to bark out F***! and a few choice barks to release my anguish.

I'm sorry, Mr Old Man. I shoulda carried your bag.

Pink Cow dada mail

5:51pm JST Sunday 19 April 2009 (day 14270)

At The Pink Cow, installing dada mail. It seems to be taking a longer time to upload the files than when I uploaded them a bit ago. It must be that I didn't upload them before, but that seems weird that it would just upload some of the files. But anyway, they're about to be all uploaded and I'll be meeting Ami soon for dinner with Mark, Yoko, etc. Unfortunately our dinner won't be here.

5:56pm JST Sunday 19 April 2009 (day 14270)

File upload finished. I'm a bit late to meet Ami and them at 5:50.

buchan

Thick slabs of bacon fried on an angled skillet so the grease would run off the surface, covered our paper bibs with hot spattering oil and filled our tummies with delicious bacon.

Mmmmmmmmm baaaconnn.
