Japanese Again? TOTALLY 

Yesterday (Friday) was Class Sign-Up day. Carrie had to be at the store at 7:30, and I came home and uploaded all the new class stuff at 8:00 AM on the dottish. Much of the rest of the day was spent updating classes and fixing bugs on the classes. Oh, and I also drew this picture of Red X, my favorite original character from the Teen Titans cartoon:


Anyway, I got Carrie around 4:00-ish, and we promptly fell asleep until almost 6:00, when we drove up to Federal Way to celebrate my dad's 74th birthday with dinner at Akasaka.

Unlike when we went to Maneki on Thursday, last night we got to sit in one of those rooms where you're supposed to take off your shoes and then kneel around the table. But since this is america they have a pit beneath the table instead.

By the way, how is it that Japanese people don't all have f--ked up legs from kneeling like that all the time? Or does kneeling like that make their legs stronger somehow?

Anyway, I had ginger pork, and Carrie had black cod cooked in a miso sauce that she said was as good as the salmon I had at Maneki. She totally wants to learn how to make miso sauces and cook fish in them now, which is something I can totally get behind. TOTALLY.

We went back to my folks' house and my dad opened his gift (we got him a train book). Then during dessert we watched the Harold Lloyd film Billy Blazes, Esquire, which is a really, really funny short film (about 13 minutes). I mean legitimately funny. Not just "funny for the times it was made." And I can totally see how Jackie Chan was influenced by him. TOTALLY.

We came home and watched some Buffy and played some Animal Crossing in bed.
